Green Chemistry
Sustaining Human Health & The Environment
One of the most significant new aspects of chemistry is the development of Green Chemistry. Supported by the American Chemical Society, the USEPA, and many other Government agencies, Green Chemistry has emerged as the most important aspect for identifying consumer friendly products.
A large number of cosmetic chemicals and synthetic perfumery ingredients contribute to air, water and soil pollution
Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.
Kismet Jardin uses only those ingredients and processes for the production of skincare products and perfumes, which are harmless to human health and the environment.
Green Chemistry works toward sustainability. The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry were published in 1998, providing the new field with a clear set of guidelines for further development.
1. Prevention
2. Atom Economy
3. Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses
4. Designing Safer Chemicals
5. Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries
6. Design for Energy Efficiency
7. Use of Renewable Feedstocks
8. Reduce Derivatives
9. Catalysis
10. Design for Degradation
11. Real-time analysis for Pollution Prevention
12. Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention
