Cosmetics & Toiletries
Applied Sterilisation
Technologies (AST) routinely treats finished products and
raw materials to lower or eliminate microbiological contaminants,
saving customers’ time and money in the process. By applying low
levels of ionising radiation, a wide range of products can be
treated with no or minimal denaturing effects, allowing them to be
used within the manufacturing process or sold.
With increased consumer demand for
more natural and organic products, suppliers are challenged with
how best to respond to these demands whilst still maintaining
product integrity and safety.
With the increased use of natural ingredients
resulting the reduction in the use of artificial additives/
preservatives to pro-long shelf-life, products are
becoming increasingly at risk from contamination.
The potential result of
contamination is not merely a safety issue, as it can also have
significant financial impacts on a business due to product recalls
& waste management. The challenge facing manufacturers is how
to continue to deliver high quality products, at reduced risk and
adhering to all Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) currently
undertaken and enforced.
With more than 30 years of
experience working with cosmetic and toiletries customers, AST has
the expertise and technologies that can help your business solve
this problem now. By exposing your products to safe, low-dose
irradiation, we can help with microbial reduction and product
decontamination so that in many cases, we reduce the risk of
disposal or product recall as a result of micro failure; and with a
range of support functions (including microbiological laboratories
and consulting), AST can deliver personal solutions to suit your
specific business needs.
