RF Cosmetici - Italy R&D, formulation and private label cosmetics production
RF Cosmetici Italian Company focused on R&D, formulation and private label production of dermocosmetics product and medical devices. Owner of all our formulas.
RF Cosmetici R&D laboratory makes stability tests and accelerated stability tests of all product to ensure the conformity to the most different transport conditions (air transport/sea transport) and the most different storage and temperature condition (from -15 c to 50 c).
Research and development we plan and realize new cosmetics products for Italian and Foreign companies that leading in the cosmetic sector. We support our clients in the product start-up phase. When the position of the product in the market consolidated and the quality is tested, the client can purchase the formula, so that he can start industrial production.
We have never thought about making a product line branded RF especially in Italy because our main activity is R&D for other companies. With the halal instead, we are convinced to can do it: this is our business choice.
We are for a long time careful to all that concerns habits and customs, society and lifestyle, and we believe that the cosmetic HALAL is the new frontier of a dermocosmetic, also in Italy.
It takes origin not so much from market trend, as the biological cosmetic (that has shown in the years different critical points), but from deeper values, felt and authentic, distant therefore from the classical products that follow a fashion as those defined Eco-biological.
Eco-BIO has become a fully fledged segment of market. It answers to specific needs of some consumers. It would be more correct to call these cosmetics "GREEN : the standard consumer of this segment is ideologically oriented or culturally directed toward the green movements.
There is such a rich offer of GREEN cosmetic and there are important and reputable company that act in the respect of production guide that minimize the product s environmental impact. In my view, the evolution of the BIO has been transformed in "chemophobia", that is the trend to an excessively restricted use of chemical ingredients, that are sure however from the toxicological point of view, because they are listed in an European INCI inventory elaborated and updated by the UE Commission.
Only some ingredients with specific functions undergo to precise restrictions of use where for law the maximum admitted concentrations and the type of use are pointed out..therefore what has not convinced us of the biological one has been the "chemophobic"evolution.
In my opinion a lot of Bio consumers believe more in what they read on internet than in what the safety commissions says. It doesn t exist polluting or not polluting substances The substances ARE Polluting could be their use, polluting could be only human, not this or that substance!
The atoms and the molecules doesn't have any guilt or responsibility except that they exist. For instance: the oil exists. There are tons of it in the subsoil. If we leave them there, do we pollute? Obviously Not. If we withdraw 1 gram of it and we throw it in sea are we polluting? obviously not! When we throw in the sea or in the ground various tons of it, do we pollute? Yes!...
For the man as for the environment is the dose that make the poison.
This is why we don t believe enough in biological cosmetics, to consider it a business choice. Instead, the HALAL cosmetic is based on concepts that are not tied up to fashions or to political tides. Is based on principles positions, that don t follow fashion or market trend.
Besides, the cosmetic HALAL can be extremely performing from the point of view of the effectiveness. We can use innovative synthetic active principles and raw materials made by chemical process, and for this reason pure.
For a formulator, is fundamental to range over within the chemistry. This is what allows him to elaborate and to plan unique formulations. At the same time allows to be able to make some important discoveries.this are the activities that lead the progress.
The bio market segment doesn't leave this freedom of choice. The chemofobia prevents the progress. Instead Halal leaves a great freedom of action, in this way, also for a not Muslim, the renouncement to the different ingredients not HALAL, doesn't prevent from conceiving formulated extremely effective. When we decided to take the path for the certification Halal we have thought over for a long time on the possibility to abdicate both the use of alcoholic vegetable extracts base both the dyes and the dry extracts.
We have also thought over on the possibility to abdicate the lactic acid, the Collagene, the elastina, and other substances that are basic substances in the dermocosmetic.. In the world of Beauty, lifestyle is what guide the choices: who follows a strong value as Islam seeks formulated coherent with the Sharia.
The respect for the Koran and for the Sunna and the attention to the personal care and to the tied up rituals to the comfort, need innovative and performing formulations. This is the reason why we have decided to realize a line skincare Halal. The adhesion to the standard Halals is much more than to add an atout to the third part production made by RF Cosmetici: it concerns the awareness that the style of life will drive more and more the choices of the consumers.
Follow this orientation is a challenge for us, the challenge to become part of a project of research and development of products custom made for this lifestyle.
The HALAL certification has been achieve after a very difficult, long and hard-working iter, and has brought lot of renouncements for our company. A lot of raw material have been analyze; the certification body asked us for certificates on the origin of the substances synthesis. We have not retrieved them anytime soon, but at the end of this run, the joy to found the "promised land" has been huge.
I have decided therefore to abdicate so many ingredients that we daily used, but with the right mental form, the renouncements become a point of strength for us. We have discovered that could replace them. For instance, rather than use the dry extracts gotten off the pure grain alcohol, we use the extracts of plants gotten with ultrasound.
Instead, what could be consider renouncements allowed us to make sensible progress on the scientific path. The whole company is proud to be a HALAL certified establishment, and the whole personnel has always participated with interest and attention to the training course held by the dr.ssa Tiozzo.
After seven months from the beginning of our run, I must confess that my enthusiasm has become contagious, almost viral. I have immediately made aware of our business policy our clients, and I must say that they have appreciated and supported our appointment seeing ours new status as opportunity that they cannot give up!
I would like to thank dr.ssa Annamaria Tiozzo, Whad Italia president, Italian HALAL certification body and everybody else in her staff, to have supported us in these months, to have encouraged us and to have been beside us along the whole run..
sometimes we have been in the position to take difficult decisions, but it was worth of it! Thank you Annamaria for your patience, but above all I would like to congratulate with her for her great knowledge, her availability, and for have been always careful and receptive to the evolution of what involve the certification Halal in the international field.
