Applications
Cosmetics
- For skin care products- eyeshadow & mascara, lipstick & lip glosses, blushers & bronzers.
Cosmetology
- Calcium hydroxyapatite based products intended to: rejuvenate the skin, increase the volume of tissue, face beauty masks, eliminate skin blemishes and for use with injections in plastic surgery.
Stomatology
- Calcium phosphate bone cements for sealing root canals. Components for the regeneration and remineralization of dental enamel (in the form of powder, gel or toothpaste that specifically formulated to prevent the formation of dental caries and reduce tooth sensitivity.
Food Additives
- Ingredients used in sports drinks, milk powder, fish and minced meat, alcoholic beverages, herbal teas, dry and semi-dry breakfast cereals, fast food, confectionery products and additives for animal feeds. Supplements with easily digestible calcium to treat calcium deficiencies.
Biologically Active Additives (BAA)
- Components of dietary supplements for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis (capsules and tablets for regulating the calcium balance in humans of any age). For products that prevent bone tissue resorption, maintain posture, reduce the risk of bone fractures and dental caries. Also admitted as part of vitamins and drugs like calcium-containing supplements for humans and animals.
Bioceramics
- For medical implants (endo-implants, porous inserts and for coatings on titanium implants). Also useful as a premix for bone tissue regeneration (ceramic beads, porous implants, bone cements, gels, suspension and injectables for bone regeneration etc.).
