What safety procedures are carried out?

In view of Oriflame Cosmetics’s Natural, mild, pure Swedish image the safety profile of all products is of utmost importance.  Oriflame Cosmetics comply with all EU Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC and US FDA safety regulations and assessments. 

Oriflame formulations include only ingredients with low irritancy potential, monitored by stringent ongoing reviews of safety reports (EU, SCCNFP, CTFA cosmetic ingredient review and COLIPA reports). Indeed, certain ingredients, with reported incidence of skin sensitisation or irritancy, are avoided or restricted to concentrations considered safe.

Human patch testing is carried out by specialist independent laboratories. Other in-vitro (non-animal) safety tests are commissioned when necessary, such as skin and eye irritancy tests and efficacy tests.

Oriflame products are manufactured and controlled in accordance with recognised European cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)
