create more sustainable products
in 2021, shanghai jahwa established the qualitative concept of the products social and environmental impact throughout the life cycle covering new product development or product upgrading. the product life cycle analysis (lca) puts forward the direction for the sustainable performance from five main aspects: efficacy improvement, safety and health, raw materials and wastes, energy consumption and climate impact, and water and wastewater discharge. based on the product life cycle analysis (lca), we can analyzed on sustainable performance of new or updated products, and constantly create more sustainable products.

about natural ingredients
with the vigorous development of the modern chemical industry, chemical ingredients play an increasingly important role in the healthy life of mankind. therefore, unsafe chemical ingredients may place additional burden on the skin of consumers and impair their skin health. nature breeds all things. in recent years, the beauty concept of natural health has come into the eye of the public.
it is believed that natural ingredients have numerous secrets yet to be discovered. not all natural ingredients are safe to use, and sometimes they are even skin allergens. holding a rational view of "natural ingredients", the company has never stopped researching them and remains committed to finding natural active ingredients with better and safer efficacy for consumers.
about microbeads
plastic microspheres often refer to solid plastic particles with a diameter of 5 mm or less, which are insoluble in water and difficult to completely degrade. plastic microspheres come from a wide range of sources, such as plastic fragments (such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, etc.) that decompose and break in the natural environment, or fiber hair balls that peel off synthetic fiber fabrics during washing. as there are large quantity of plastic particles widely distributing in the environment, the pollution problem of microplastics has attracted the attention of all countries.
microbeads in personal care cleaning products are mainly used for scrubbing, exfoliating or cleaning our skin. in order to avoid the risk of harm to the environment, the company actively respond to the opinions of relevant state departments, namely, adopting natural or degradable frosted particles such as cellulose particles, microcrystalline cellulose, hydrated silica, walnut shell particles and corn particles, rather than traditional plastic frosted particles.
