The Validated Hypoallergenic Rating System* is like an 'SPF' for Skin Safety
We were the 1st to validate hypoallergenicity. Based on published allergen lists of the NACDG + ESSCA, the VH-Rating System – an original VMV 'skinnovation' – is still the only hypoallergenic rating system in the world.
How the VH-rating system works:
The VH-Number functions a bit like an SPF but for skin safety or hypoallergenicity.
'SPF' shows you how protective a product is against UVB light.
'VH-' tells you that a product is Validated proven to be, via patch tests and allergen omission Hypoallergenic. The dash is a minus sign.
The number that follows VH indicates how many allergens are omitted. The higher the VH number, the more allergens are absent.
