SLS certification is important because it assures mothers that Khomba Baby Soap has been certified as safe and gentle on a baby’s skin. Natural, mild protection and herbal trust have been the hallmarks of Khomba Baby care range, helping establish it as one of the most trusted and loved herbal baby care brands in Sri Lanka. By incorporating high-quality standards and processes, firmly certified under SLS, new parents can rest assured that their baby is in the safest natural nurturing care of Khomba Baby, as explained by Ms. Chulodhara Samarasinghe – Deputy Chairperson/Managing Director of Swadeshi.
SLS 547 is the Sri Lanka Standard Specification for Baby Soap, which sets mandatory quality, safety and performance requirements for soaps intended for infants. The SLS 547 standard includes requirements for ensuring baby soaps are safe, non-irritating, high quality, mild and suitable for infant skin. The standard is mandatory for both importation and local manufacturing, verified under the SLSI import inspection scheme.
This SLS certification is critical in giving consumers confidence in a product’s consistent quality as the SLS institution maintains stringent standards and ongoing checks of certified products in the market. In addition to our SLS 547 certification, Khomba Baby soap products have been internationally dermatologically tested and certified as safe for babies’ skin. As a brand, Khomba Baby ensures compliance with the ISO 9001:2015 standard, thereby providing the best and safest quality herbal products in the country.
We at Swadeshi have been making gentle herbal soaps since 1941 and have followed high quality standards and have now introduced the Khomba Baby brand with nature’s best herbal ingredients such as Coconut milk, Rathmal, Venivel and Avocado to add value to our consumers. According to SLSI and NMRA the evaluation panel ensures that the certificate is valid.
The Khomba Baby Soap combines some of the best of nature’s bounty in the form of Kohomba (Margosa), Coconut milk, Aloe vera, Venivel, Avocado and Rathmal, which have been used for generations for cleansing, moisturising and ensuring soft & gentle skin, and it is safe for a baby’s delicate skin. Swadeshi Khomba Baby soap is dermatologically tested and safety assured for babies’ skin.
Khomba Baby Soap protects a baby’s skin from irritations and provides essential nourishment to the skin. It is the only baby soap in the local market with the best mix of herbs, and has been improved with new soothing fragrances that are mild on the skin. Khomba Baby personal care range will keep a baby’s skin clean, healthy, soft, mild and moisturised, which is essential for the comfort of the baby, the company said.
The main ingredient, Khomba, has been a time-tested herbal ingredient that has been used by Sri Lankan mothers for centuries, and Swadeshi, the herbal personal care specialist for over 85 years, has carefully selected these herbs to give you the best mix of herbs with the highest quality standards. These mixes of herbs have been used for generations to bathe babies, wash off germs naturally, and the use of herbal ingredients on skin is always safe and gentle.
The Khomba Baby Range, comprising Baby Soap, Baby Cologne, Baby Cream, Baby Powder, Baby Shampoo, Baby Oil, Kids Cologne and Baby Gift Pack, is a combination of time-tested herbal ingredients that makes it a comprehensive herbal baby care range in the local market. “Swadeshi’s products cater to a growing market segment that is looking for nature-friendly products for good health, hygiene, safety and mildness on skin.
