Contamination: The Risk to the Personal Care & Cosmetic Industry
The interest and demand for products like skincare, creams, lotions, haircare and other beauty and anti-aging items has created rapid growth in manufacturing. Whether processing ingredients or the final packaged product for the end-user, safe and clean operations within facilities is vital. In an extremely competitive industry, consumers demand purity and the highest quality when choosing a brand.
Some of the most common types of contamination found in personal care item production include heavy metals, microbial contaminants, residual solvents, foreign matter, and residues from cleaning chemicals. Because most products are applied directly or near the skin, the presence of contamination in a cosmetic item can lead to costly product recalls, as well as more significant effects such as life-threatening illnesses and legal action.
The risks to a company’s brand, its profitability, and its people are too consequential to be ignored. Effective contamination control is essential for facilities to minimize these harmful outcomes.
Dycem antimicrobial mats, implemented as part of a contamination control strategy, offer optimal support in reducing the risk of contamination.
