• AQUATIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Assess the aquatic impact of your cosmetic formula

The following two parameters can be used to assess the impact of cosmetic formulations on the aquatic environment:

BIODEGRADABILITY

“Ability of a substance to break down into various elements under the action of living organisms”

Purpose : 

Assess the ability of a cosmetic formula to be degraded by a biological process into simpler molecules.

ECOTOXICITY

“Inherent capacity of a chemical to cause adverse effects in a living organism”

Purpose : 

Study the impact on living organisms in different ecosystems.

Biodegradability is a major parameter for assessing the environmental impact of cosmetic products.
