CMR substances
Certain chemicals, when used alone or in mixtures, can be harmful to human health. Some of these are called "CMR" as they are classified carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction. These terms are defined by regulations.
- Carcinogens (C): substances and mixtures that – through inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption – can cause cancer or increase the risk of developing cancer.
- Mutagens (M): substances and mixtures that – through inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption – may induce heritable genetic defects or increase their incidence.
-Toxic to reproduction (R): substances and mixtures that – through inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption – can induce or increase the incidence of non-inheritable adverse effects in the progeny and/or impair reproductive capability.

POISON; THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DOSE."

-
Toxicity is the measurement of a substance's ability to be dangerous or harmful to the health of all life forms, such as human beings, bacteria, plants, or substructures of these organisms. Toxicity depends above all on the doses of ingredients. There are therefore several levels of toxicity. These include acute toxicity (short term), which describes the adverse effects that result from a single exposure to a high concentration of the substance. Chronic toxicity (long term) refers to the adverse effects that result from repeated, long-term exposure to a low concentration of the substance.
-
Pollution refers to the degradation of the environment due to substances (natural, chemical or radioactive), waste (household or industrial), or various other pollutants (noise, light, thermal, biological, etc.).
-
Animal origin or animal-derived ingredients refer to all ingredients or by-products derived from an animal or from the exploitation of animals.
-
Endocrine disruptors are chemical substances of natural or artificial origin that are foreign to the body and can alter functions of the endocrine system, consequently causing adverse health effects in an intact organism or its subpopulations.
-
Unethical production and cultivation Products derived from the exploitation of children or animals, or involving people working in unethical conditions.
