HOME LABORATORY PRODUCTION QUALITY' COMPANY PRODUCTS CONTACTS LOGIN Italiano English OBSTACLE TECHNOLOGY Our Research and Development laboratories have been formulating, for years now, according to a cosmetic application of the food-grade Hurdle Technology. This means that attention is paid to minimizing the necessary dose of preservatives (chosen from the least problematic ones) by making a whole series of choices to support this. In fact, we work in rooms that are constantly monitored microbiologically and periodically sterilized, we pay particular attention to the storage of raw materials and packaging, avoiding cross contamination, we sterilize the machinery at each processing, etc. Finally, in the formula we add a whole series of substances that, on their own, do not they are able to protect the cosmetic, but they can be an aid to preservatives. A help so important that in some cases we can even do without the latter. WATER, AN ADDED VALUE A peculiarity that distinguishes the Areaderma Laboratory is the extreme quality of the water used for the production of cosmetics; in fact it is pure mountain water, a living water with the characteristics listed below. There are two aspects that make it light and pure: CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL It is a mountain water that directly reaches the aqueduct with 1.7 ° F, practically distilled naturally, consider that less than 15 ° F is considered "sweet "And above 25 ° F" hard "and that mains water can reach up to 50 ° F. Another value that supports its "lightness" is the conductivity which is 0.22 mS / cm; there are several low-mineral waters that normally exceed this value. Neutral pH is another of its characteristics. MICROBIOLOGICAL This water is treated for purification with a very modest quantity of Chlorine, then, after a short run and without ever having been stored in cisterns or tanks, it reaches our production. Here it is filtered and microfiltered to a porosity of 0.2 micron until it is sterilized; practically no beat can pass through such selective filters. The water with which we produce can be considered sterile. All this without any chemicals being added to it. If you consider that a cosmetic is a water-rich product, the technical information just mentioned reveal some important things. Heavy metals, pesticide residues, industrial processing residues or fertilizers are allergenic agents or cause irritations. Just one example: Nickel In the products obtained with our water we have obtained analytical research values of Nickel so low as to be less than 0.1 ppm. This does not mean that our products are nickel-free, but they certainly contain as little as possible. C opyright © Areaderma | VAT number 01683400228
