What is Barbicide?

Barbicide concentrate is a hospital-grade, broad-spectrum disinfectant. It works quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. If you value working hygienically, Barbicide is your go-to solution. For more than six decades, it has been the leading product in the beauty industry.

Hygiene is becoming increasingly important in personal care professions. If we are not careful, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other infectious organisms can take over—with serious consequences.

We are increasingly confronted with diseases like H1N1 (swine flu), Q fever, Hepatitis, HIV, and MRSA. These conditions highlight the importance of proper hygiene in salons.

The beauty industry has more in common with the healthcare sector than you’d think—just without the strict regulations. Barbicide has become an essential part of salon hygiene.

Why is Barbicide so special?

Barbicide is the number one in hygiene for beauty professionals, hairdressers, pedicurists, and nail technicians. It’s fast, easy to use, and affordable.

The concentrate offers maximum convenience. In just 5 minutes, your scissors, clippers, blades, spatulas, cuticle pushers, brushes, comedone extractors, dermarollers, instruments, and work surfaces are thoroughly disinfected.

Highly suitable for ultrasonic cleaners. Rinse thoroughly after use. No alcohol bath needed. Rust-resistant. Every client is guaranteed a perfectly hygienic treatment. Environmentally friendly and fully biodegradable.

What are the causes and sources of infections?

The most common causes of infections:

• Using poorly disinfected tools and equipment
• Your clients – and the environments they’ve been exposed to
• Yourself – and the environments you encounter, including those of your clients
• Using chemicals combined with heat, which may significantly weaken the skin’s resistance—yours and your clients’

The risk of improper disinfection is too high to ignore. Barbicide concentrate offers reliable solutions for nearly every hygiene scenario in your salon.

Which product do I need?

Barbicide concentrate is ideal for use in immersion jars and ultrasonic devices. It can also be sprayed for surface disinfection.

We also offer Barbicide Hygienic Cleaning Spray and Hygienic Wipes. Perfect for disinfecting surfaces, countertops, sinks, treatment chairs, furniture, stainless steel, plastic combs and brushes, handrails, toilets, gym equipment, and more.

• The 1.1 litre jar is perfect for tools up to 22 cm, such as instruments, combs, and brushes. It includes a stainless-steel basket, just like the 750 ml jar.
• The 750 ml jar is suited for medium-sized tools up to approx. 14 cm.

The 120 ml jar is great for small tools like tweezers, nail scissors, drill bits, and burrs—especially handy for manicures and pedicures.

Make it visible!

Tip: Place the jars in a clearly visible and easily accessible spot—so your clients can see them too. Encourage them to ask, “Why do you immerse your tools in that liquid?”

And you can reply:
“It’s for your safety and ours. We disinfect all tools after every client.”

Every profession deserves its own professional look. Your clients will notice—and appreciate it. It’s a great trust builder.

How long does it take, and how does it work?

There are 3 levels of treatment:

1. Rinse and remove residue
2. Disinfect to eliminate microorganisms
3. Sterilise to destroy all microorganisms

Barbicide concentrate starts working within 5 minutes and eliminates bacteria, yeast, and fungi. For rinsing and disinfecting, we recommend 5 to 10 minutes

There are 3 different treatment jars available, suitable for all sizes of tools and instruments.
