Where this comes from

The quotes are in the manufacturer's language, often English or French. That is deliberate: a translation by us is no longer comparable to the data sheet. We write the explanation surrounding them, not the quotes.

Everything above comes from the manufacturer's data sheet. Always check the data sheet with the packaging, as that takes precedence. Do an allergy test 48 hours in advance and, if in doubt, a strand test.
