About This Test

Clogone, as defined under IS 8482, refers to a light, pleasantly perfumed cosmetic preparation intended for external application on the human body to impart fragrance and a feeling of freshness. Commonly used after bathing or during hot weather, clogone is designed to refresh, deodorize, and mildly perfume the skin.

Appearance: Clear, free-flowing liquid, usually colorless or mildly tinted.
Odour: Pleasant, refreshing, and non-irritating to the senses.
Alcohol Content: Contains ethyl alcohol (typically lower concentration than perfumes) to aid in quick evaporation and fragrance diffusion.
Non-Irritating: Formulated to be gentle on skin; must pass dermatological safety tests.
Free from Harmful Substances: Should not contain heavy metals, toxic colorants, or harmful levels of contaminants.
