Cosmetics

Bringing the quality of cosmetic water into line with strict criteria

The cosmetics sector is committed to supplying its market with products of the highest quality in terms of composition and presentation. On production sites, the control of process or composition water complies with international pharmacopoeia standards, with the same high standards as in pharmaceuticals.

Purified water, pure steam or clean steam raise the challenge of maintaining quality and safety throughout the cosmetic water cycle. BWT supports cosmetics projects from start to finish, producing, storing and distributing water specifically adapted to the needs of critical utilities.

 

Ensuring quality, responding to the market

While the cosmetics industry complies with international pharmacopoeia standards, it must also take account of other issues when it comes to the quality of cosmetic water. The cosmetics industry caters to a market whose expectations in terms of product appearance and texture require water processes to be properly qualified. At the same time, they need to preserve water resources in order to demonstrate the low environmental footprint of their products. BWT supports the cosmetics industry in meeting its quality, safety and environmental challenges, thanks to its range of water treatment solutions incorporating expert equipment, systems and associated services.

Experts at every stage of your project

To achieve perfect control of water quality, manufacturers in the cosmetics sector need a trusted partner and water treatment facilities designed for their critical utilities, as well as specific technical maintenance and monitoring services.

BWT is with you every step of the way to produce, store and distribute pure water of stable quality, and ensure resource-efficient water use and management. Our strength: an integrated service that combines experience, the manufacture of compact, powerful equipment, end-to-end support and local services.

Made-to-measure systems

As a partner to some of the world's leading cosmetics laboratories, we design, manufacture and maintain a range of tailor-made systems for your site. Each system is fully factory tested by FAT, pre-validated and then implemented in your plant by our expert teams. Our quality systems with intelligent spare parts management ensure reliability and long-term value retention. We're with you every step of the way.

BWT: expertise in the most demanding cosmetic water quality

In the cosmetics industry, which uses purified water (PW) and pure steam, not all processes require the same quality of water. That's why our water treatment systems, solutions and services are tailored to your context and your needs.

BWT experts will work with you and advise you based on your input water, your constraints, your requirements and the results you want to achieve. We design and implement the technologies best suited to your constraints: ion exchange, reverse osmosis, electrodeionization, ultrafiltration, distillation, pure steam generation or in-situ thermal, chemical or ozone disinfection.
