Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics

Drinking an adequate amount of water every day is important for overall good health as we all know, because water aids so many processes within the body — digestion, circulation, absorption and even excretion.

And skin cells, like any other cell in the body, are made up of water. Without water, the organs will certainly not function properly or at their best, so in short we need water to survive and remain in good health whilst and looking and feeling good.

But drinking water alone is not enough which is why the Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics industries exist – to provide us with treatments and products to enhance our health and physical well-being.

Water which is purified is used as an excipient in the production of certain preparations and medications, and in other pharmaceutical applications such as cleaning and sterilising of equipment.

Water is also primarily used as a solvent in cosmetics and personal care products in which it dissolves many of the ingredients that impart skin benefits, such as conditioning agents and cleansing agents. Water also forms emulsions in which the oil and water components of the product are combined to form creams and lotions.

In both industries within this sector the water used in the production of products, as both an ingredient and for cleaning and sterilisation of equipment, requires water treatment, and Goodwater is on hand to provide advice and expertise to design modern and cost-effective treatment systems to remove unwanted minerals and bacteria from the supply.

Companies and institutions involved in this sector will have offices, research laboratories and manufacturing plant, a variety of different building types large and small, and as well as the process water systems used in production there are always other more basic systems to provide water for human consumption and heating or cooling to provide the necessary environment for the employees.

At Goodwater we are equipped to meet the needs of every business in terms of our advice, support, service and compliance.
