Chemical / Biological Inertness
 |
Luvitec® products are chemically and biologically inert . They are very stable in a wide temperature and pH range which is due to the polyethylene polymer backbone. There is no hazard risk in case of body contact. PVP has been used for many years in cosmetics and haircare applications. Luvitec® PVP provides the following features: |
Non-sensitizing (Human Repeated Insult Patch Test)
No evidence of mutagenic potential
Non-toxic to aquatic organisms (tested on salmon, marine algae and juvenile turbot)
