Requirements for pure water and equipment processes in the personal care industry

Thread Content

Many people are aware that the chemical cosmetics industry uses pure water production equipment to generate water. So why is pure water or deionized water necessary for the production of chemicals such as cosmetics? Below is a brief explanation of why pure water production equipment is used in the manufacture of chemicals like cosmetics. 　 This is because the presence of these ions not only causes clumping in creams and lotions, but also accelerates skin aging; therefore, deionized water must be used in the production of skincare products. Furthermore, water is the most widely used, cheapest, and abundant ingredient in cosmetics production. It has excellent solvency properties and is also an important moisturizing agent. Most cosmetics, such as shampoos, bath gels, various creams, and lotions, contain a large amount of water. Water plays an important role in these cosmetics, and the quality of the water used in their production directly affects both the production process and the quality of the final products. To meet the requirements of high stability and good usability in cosmetics, there are two aspects of requirements for the water used in cosmetics production: the concentration of inorganic ions and microbial contamination. 　　The purity standards for water in the cosmetics industry are determined in accordance with the requirements of the \"Hygienic Standards for Cosmetics Manufacturing Enterprises\"; the quality of water used in cosmetics production must meet at least the hygienic standards for drinking water (GB5749-2006). This is also the minimum requirement for process water. It should be noted that the microbial limit standards for potable water are the same as those for purified water
