Industries Served

The cosmetic industry uses distilled water or demineralized water for lotion, soaps, conditioners and many more similar products. Usually, many cosmetic manufacturers have their own laboratories where they create, test and sample their products. Engineers and scientists insist on the absence of any elements in the water when additives are added in order to begin creating a beauty product, as many of these additives react negatively when added in untreated water.

The water is typically treated with reverse osmosis, depending on the company’s requirements. After treatment, the water is placed into containment or storage and kept in a 24/7 recirculation loop, being passed through UV disinfection to assure there are no organisms in the water. For the highest quality water needed for production, the loop water again passes through  185 nm UV where ozone is produced, D.I. or EDI for megohm polishing, 254 nm UV where AOP with the hydroxyl radical is produced and sub micron filtration for endotoxin filtration.
