A new clean room for hydrosol filtration: Stabilization & Excellence
In 2022, we took a key step towards improving the quality and stability of our products by building a clean room dedicated to hydrolat filtration. This project represents a strategic investment to ensure that our hydrolats meet the highest standards of quality, stability and safety. Here's an overview of this technological advance and its impact on our production processes.
Why a clean room for hydrolats?
Hydrolats, or floral waters, are precious extracts obtained by distillation of aromatic plants. Their purity and stability are essential to ensure consistent quality of the final product. However, due to their high water content, hydrolats are particularly sensitive to microbial contamination and variations in quality linked to the production environment.
Our clean room was designed to remedy these problems by providing a controlled, ultra-clean environment for filtration operations. This sterile setting enables us to control production conditions and ensure the consistency of our hydrolats over time.
The installation of this cleanroom enables us to meet the stringent requirements of the cosmetics and pharmaceutical markets, where the microbiological and physico-chemical quality of products is crucial. Here are the main advantages of this new facility:
1 - Sterile filtration: The membrane filters used in our clean room retain impurities, micro-organisms and particles that could affect the quality of our hydrolats. Filtration takes place in an aseptic environment to avoid any risk of contamination.
2 - Temperature and humidity control: The cleanroom is equipped with advanced climate control systems, guaranteeing ideal conditions to prevent product degradation during processing.
3 - Stabilization over time: By minimizing external variations and contamination, we are able to maintain the stability of our hydrolats over a longer period. This gives users confidence in the shelf life and efficacy of our products.
4 - Compliance with standards : The cleanroom complies with ISO class 8 standards, guaranteeing rigorous control of airborne particles. This enables us to produce hydrolats that meet the most stringent regulatory requirements, particularly for cosmetic or therapeutic applications.
Impact on our Hydrolats: Quality & Performance
Thanks to this new clean room, we are now able to offer hydrolats with exceptional characteristics of purity and stability. Hydrolats filtered in this controlled environment have a clearer texture, a more authentic scent, and optimized preservation without the addition of artificial preservatives.
A sustainable approach
Cleanroom installation is not just a commitment to quality; it's also part of our sustainable development approach. By stabilizing our products and improving their shelf life, we help to reduce waste.
Conclusion
The construction of our clean room in 2022 marks a major step forward in our quest for excellence. It illustrates our determination to offer hydrolats of impeccable quality, while adopting responsible and sustainable practices. This project, at the heart of our innovation strategy, will enable us to guarantee our customers safe, high-performance products, while positioning us in the market for quality hydrolats.
