New Publication by the DGK – Microbiological Requirements for Water in Cosmetics – Pseudomonas, Burkholderia & Co

Water is often the most important and quantitatively largest raw material for cosmetics. An impeccable microbiological quality is therefore indispensable. In addition, water is used not only as a cosmetic raw material but also for cleaning systems and equipment.

In a new overview article by the German Society for Scientific and Applied Cosmetics (DGK) led by Ms. Nussbaum from the BAV Institute, this topic is comprehensively explained. The article provides valuable tips on:

• Different types of water
• Processing and treatment
• Microbiological requirements for purity according to ISO 17516 or TVO
• Sampling of water
• Investigation parameters and methods

You can access the article for free here. 

Central points are: avoid stagnant water and regularly check the microbiological quality of the water used and the water used for cleaning.

The BAV experts support you on this topic with sampling, consulting, and analytics.
