Frequently Asked Questions

PHLOV cosmetics are natural cosmetics, but not 100%. In some products, we use substances that we are unable to obtain without modifying their structure accordingly. Often, to extract the best properties of a substance of its origin is partly synthetic. The naturalness of our products and their origin is calculated in accordance with ISO 16128 standard. According to the latest regulations, this should be calculated in detail according to this standard. This requires us to carefully analyze not only the raw material, but also each of its components. On each of our packaging you will find the appropriate indication:
ISO 16128
98,32 % natural components
If we use synthetic substances it is because we want the product that will come to you to be safe from the point of view of microbiology and serve you as long as possible.

PHLOV cosmetics offer a certain effect – they do not have an age range. Because the skin does not age – it has its needs. Remember that you work whole life for beautiful skin, and cosmetics are one of the ingredients of this path.

In the design of our products we put a lot of work and hearts and avoid the use of ingredients known for its irritating properties, clogging the mouths of the sebaceous glands (so-called pores) or controversial components. Our products are dermatologically tested in people with sensitive skin. However, they are intended for healthy skin. If you tend to have severe skin allergies, have skin with severe acne or other problems, we advise you to carefully check the list of ingredients on the packaging of each product or on its product card on our website. We also recommend that you seek the advice of a dermatologist.

Absolutely not! PHLOV cosmetics are produced in Poland – European Union law prohibits the testing on animals of any cosmetics and ingredients used in their production (Regulation No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (EC) of 30 November 2009 concerning cosmetic products). It is also worth remembering that since 2013, there has been a total ban on testing animal cosmetics throughout the European Union, as well as importing and selling such tested ingredients for their production.

The occurrence of an allergic reaction is a very individual issue, resulting from the sensitivity of the skin to a given ingredient. Therefore, we always recommend that before application you perform a skin test, which consists of applying a small amount of product. Any cosmetic, even the one tested for hypoallergenicity, can cause irritation or sensitize. Their cause is not always cosmetics – allergies and irritation can occur after contact with food components, air pollution, cleaning products available at home. In our products we use many active substances – clinically tested and at safe concentrations. Our products undergo the required tests. On our packaging, the composition of INCI is also in Polish, so that it is easier to pay attention to allergens. If you have any irritation, please let us know about it.
To properly perform the cosmetic tolerance test, apply a small amount of the preparation to the skin in the mandible area or behind the ear and observe the behavior of the skin for 12 hours. In case of severe irritation or skin lesions (rash, persistent erythema, itching, swelling, exudate) refrain from using the product.
