The principle of precaution
Cosmetics ingredients screened
through scientific and toxic filters
By applying the principle of precaution, Lamarque has screened the International Nomenclature for Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI) through scientific and toxic filters,
in order to identify the following risks:
- Carcinogenic risk
- Mutagenic risk
- Teratogenic risk
- Reprotoxic risk
- Allergic risk
As soon as one of these risks is scientifically proved or highly suspected, the ingredient is prohibited from Lamarque’s formulae even if authorized by law.
Thanks to this process, we have been able to identify more than 1200 ingredients, for which the use in our formulae has been prohibited.
This exclusive and confidential list is called The Blacklist Lamarque. However, Lamarque has a shortlist with the most common and problematic ingredients, available for the public.
