Verdict: GENUINE

Formulas are built on lactobacillus plant-ferment filtrates and a stated percentage of certified-organic ingredients per product label, from a BDIH-certified organic facility. Ingredient lists still commonly include fragrance allergens from essential oils (linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol) and, in a few older formulas, added Fragrance/parfum, so 'clean' claims rest on the organic/fermentation sourcing rather than a zero-fragrance or zero-allergen standard.

BDIH certified natural (Germany): corroborated by multiple independent retailers and brand; BDIH's own register was not directly loadable, so treated as strongly corroborated rather than register-confirmed.

Not yet independently verified. The certifications listed for this brand are as the brand states them. They have not yet been checked against the certifiers own registers, so they should be read as a claim rather than a confirmed fact.
