göt2b® takes the safety of our products and our consumers seriously. We evaluate the safety of our products to be sure they are compliant with regulations and that they will not cause adverse health effects when used as directed. However, we are aware, due to differences in individual body chemistry, there may be some women who cannot satisfactorily use our products.
As a leader in sustainability, Henkel has set ambitious targets as part of a comprehensive sustainability strategy. This includes a goal to have 100% of our packaging either recyclable or reusable by 2025.
We do not test our cosmetic products on animals. This applies to both the products for home use available in the market and professional products used in hair salons. We use recognized, alternative testing methods or existing data to demonstrate the safety of our cosmetic ingredients. For almost 40 years, we have been committed to the development and recognition of alternative methods in many different ways. Some countries still test certain cosmetic products from our assortment on animals to obtain market registration. We are working with national and European associations to convince the authorities in these countries to cease testing cosmetic products on animals.
Pregnant readers should consider that pregnancy can influence how substances are absorbed and tolerated by the body. While göt2b® states safety assessments and adherence to regulations, individual body chemistry means some users may react differently. Always follow product usage directions and consult healthcare professionals if there are concerns about exposure to hair styling products during pregnancy.
Overview of göt2b® safety stance:
- Safety evaluated to comply with regulations and to avoid adverse health effects when used as directed.
- Recognition of individual differences in body chemistry that may affect suitability for some users.
Henkel’s sustainability commitments include packaging that is recyclable or reusable by 2025, aligning with broader consumer health and environmental goals.
On animal testing: göt2b® products are not tested on animals, with a shift toward alternative methods and existing data. Some countries still require animal testing for market registration, but Henkel collaborates with associations to encourage a ban on such practices.
