Has this been tested in a lab to be certain there is no unwanted minerals, such as heavy metals?

I don't know if it has been tested for unwanted minerals, but since clay is a absorber type material and not a release type of material, personally I would not be as concerned. Heavy metals should be a concern in the food we eat and the water we drink, but I doubt they would be absorbed into the skin, since this is a clay product. Taken internally or in contact with a mucus membrane, could be a different story. The label states this clay has the highest content of silica, magnesium, potassium, calcium and because of it's extraordinary absorption qualities it can be used as a detoxifier cleanser, skin conditioner, shampoo, facial and body mask. I use it with organic rose water for a clay facial mask. it really helps to clarify pores. I find mixing it with organic rose water on my mature skin it is not too drying but of course I avoid the delicate skin of the eye area and follow up with organic oil of some type. Hope this helps you some.

I am sorry this information was not available on the packaging. Have you searched it on the web?

Hmmm not sure about the unwanted minerals, but I do know I use this stuff all the time and I love it and when you wash it off your face feels so soft. I know there are minerals in the clay but as far as I know these are good for your face. If someone else finds something different than that, I would be surprised. I hope the information I have given you helps in some way

Yes Contains no aluminum chlorohydrate, no aluminum zirconium, no parabens, no phthalates, no alcohol Non-sticky, non-staining and leaves no white residue Natural, hypoallergenic, and safe for the environment Prevents body odor naturally, rather than mask it chemically Crystal products never have and never will be tested on animals

Not that I have seen on the meter itself. The test strips used in the meter do.

No. The kit will test for free chlorine, total chlorine, ph, alkalinity, bromine, and calcium hardness.

No, but if you go to Ancient Minerals website, you can find out what exactly is in the formula. Its minerals, so no carcinogens should be included in any form. The product is GREAT!

Heavy metals are listed as less than 0.005%, so I would say NO it does not include an unusually high level of heavy meals. Lead, cadmium and arsenic would not be listed separately, so you may want to look for independent testing source.

As far as I know yes. Did some research and these are suppose to be lead free

I'm pretty sure crystal and was told its lead free. They are nice regardless

I don't have any idea about the testing. My skin did not like this product and I thought it had a very strong chemical smell.

I checked with the vendor and they confirmed by email that it is lead free.

Yes. The only thing it does not include, that some of the others may have, is sample test strips.

I don't know nor have I ever read or heard that ConcenTrace minerals were found to exceed permissible arsenic levels. Sine the FDA working in tantum and conspiring with Big Pharma to protect our health, I would think that if such a test (or a series of tests, or whatever, jeeze) that they would have already pulled the product for the sake of our health and the profit of Big Pharma, or something like that. Hope this helps!

Lead,arsenic,ebola,asbestos......Just kidding...I have no idea but finding 100% pure most likely isn't possible.

I believe it is, as I am an advanced analytical chemist and use this product. To the best of my labs capability, i got 99.6433% purity. Thats good enough for ANYTHING.

When I spoke to a representative of the company today she said that the compounds come from China, but their labs verify them for purity and heavy minerals. One does not know their standards.

Yes, that is what I got it for as RO water has no minerals. I spoke to company about arsenic level and got some good info. Waiting for other testing to see. But seems ok.

I found this on NOW university website:Q. Are your seaweed and algae products tested for heavy metals? A. Yes, every lot of seaweed and algae raw material passes state-of-the-art heavy metals testing to screen against potentially harmful levels of these toxic metals
