What is Barbicide?

What is Barbicide?

Barbicide Concentrate is a broad-spectrum, hospital-grade disinfectant. It works quickly, easily, and cost-effectively.
If there’s one thing you value highly, it’s working hygienically. For more than 60 years, Barbicide has been the leading product in the beauty industry.

Hygiene is becoming increasingly important in all professions within beauty and personal care. Without proper precautions, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other infectious organisms can easily spread, with serious consequences.

We are confronted more and more with diseases such as Mexican flu (H1N1) and its variants, Q-fever, Hepatitis, HIV, and not to forget MRSA. All these conditions place greater emphasis on salon hygiene.

The beauty industry has more in common with healthcare than one might think – only without the strict regulations.

The use of Barbicide has therefore become an essential part of salon hygiene.

What are the causes and sources of infections?

The most common causes are:

• Using tools and equipment that are not properly disinfected
• Clients – the sources they have been exposed to
• Yourself – the sources you are exposed to daily, including those of your clients
• The use of chemicals, combined with heat, which can reduce the skin’s natural resistance (yours and your client’s)

The risk of incorrect disinfection is too great to ignore. Barbicide Concentrate offers a reliable solution for nearly every situation in your salon – preventing the dangers of infection.

How long does it take and how does it work?

There are 3 levels of treatment:

• Rinsing – removing residues
• Disinfection – removing microorganisms
• Sterilization – killing all microorganisms

Barbicide Concentrate works in just 5 minutes, killing bacteria and yeasts (fungi). For rinsing and disinfecting, we recommend 5 to 10 minutes. There are 3 different immersion jars, suited for various sizes of instruments and tools.
