At a time when the health of users and cleaning professionals is a growing concern, Provilan is committed to offering solutions that respect the environment and human health. Inspired by recent studies highlighting the dangers of conventional cleaning products, we have developed products that are free from endocrine disruptors, thanks to the use of gentle preservation systems.
The dangers of conventional cleaning products
An investigation by the Belgian labor inspectorate has revealed that many household helpers use cleaning products sold in supermarkets, which are not designed for everyday use. These products often contain potentially harmful chemicals, such as endocrine disruptors, which can have adverse effects on health, including respiratory and hormonal disorders.
Endocrine disruptors such as parabens, phthalates and triclosan are widely present in household and cosmetic products. They can interfere with the hormonal system, even at low doses, and are associated with a variety of health problems, including reproductive disorders, cancers and developmental disorders.

Provilan’s commitment: safe, effective products
At Provilan, we have chosen to formulate our products without controversial substances. Our mild preservatives are carefully selected for their antimicrobial efficacy, while respecting human health and the environment. We deliberately exclude preservatives such as methylisothiazolinone (MIT), phenoxyethanol (a preservative used in the products of all Probiotic Group ‘s probiotic competitors eg. CIF, Greenspeed, etc.) and long-chain parabens, known for their allergenic and endocrine-disrupting effects.
