Voluntary labeling
Voluntary labeling includes characteristics and criteria that make it easier to facilitate a purchasing decision, and are intended to provide production information that help customers make a choice. The company decides whether to provide this information.
Dermatologically tested
Products that are dermatologically tested have undergone skin tolerance tests in which a dermatologist performs an epicutaneous test on 30 test persons in accordance with international guidelines to ensure that no toxic or irritative intolerance reaction occurs.
Paraben-free
Paraben-free products contain no parabens, as some types are suspected of acting like a hormone and have been found to be toxic for reproduction in experiments on animals. For this reason, the EU Commission has, for example, restricted the amount permissible in cosmetics. Parabens are chemical compounds used as preservatives.
Lactose-free
Lactose-free products contain no lactose, as people with lactose intolerance cannot digest it – or at least insufficientl – which can then result in discomfort (e.g. stomach pains). Lactose is a natural constituent of milk and dairy products.
Gluten-free
Gluten-free products contain no gluten, as it can result in an inflammato y bowel disorder among people with a predisposition to celiac disease (gluten hypersensitivity) that can have extensive consequences for their health. Gluten is a mixture of proteins that occur in the seeds of various types of grain.
Vegan
Vegan products contain no substances of animal origin, and no testing on animals was performed or commissioned during their production.
Feel Good
We’re getting ready for the future and have launched a program in which at least 60 % of all formulations for new products come from sustainable raw materials from natural sources.

Statutory labeling
As a German manufacturer, we are obliged to label products and to indicate legal specifications on labels and packages. This is how legislation guarantees the transparency necessary for the protection of health and the environment. This applies, for example, to allergies as well as to the proper disposal of the products used.
CE is an abbreviation of Communauté Européenne (European Community) and indicates that a product with this mark complies with the relevant European safety regulations.
In our case, this is the EU Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) and EN 71.
GHS/CLP
GHS stands for Globally Harmonized System of Classification Labeling and Packaging of Chemicals, and serves to provide consumers with more transparent information. Implementation was effected in accordance with EC Regulation (No.1272/2008), also known as the CLP Regulation.
The following symbols are the hazard pictograms contained in the CLP Regulation:
