Ardoz Healthcare International develops, produces and distributes cosmetic, dermatological and oral medical device products. Ardoz is also the inventor of the Ardox-X® technology. This technology enables timely and controlled release of non-radical and safe molecular oxygen with special benefits.
Through significant research efforts the company has developed a range of skin care and oral care products with remarkable characteristics.
Ardoz handles your worldwide commercial and R&D requests. We can also provide you with your own private label product.
The laboratory of Ardoz is equipped with several mixing, emulsifying and weighing devices for product development. Also a range of analytical instruments for quality control, stability testing and other research purposes are an important part of the laboratory.
Stability testing of the products is also conducted in our laboratory. These tests are performed for the full shelf life duration of the products in multiple temperature points with continuous digital monitoring. Stability testing ensures that the product properties remain within specifications until the expiry date.
In the 90’s of the previous century, a dentist invented a technology based on active oxygen to whiten avital teeth from inside out. Because of his curiosity about this technology, he discovered that it also had a broad and huge potential for more dental and dermal applications. This led to the founding of Ardoz in 2002, to investigate in more research of the active oxygen technology (Ardox-X® technology) and the development of commercial products.
The registration of the first medical device, “Vitint A avital tooth whitening system”, was completed and released into the market. In the years that followed, more cosmetic oral care products were developed, such as toothpastes, mouthwash and “at home” whitening gel. These products became a very welcome range within the commercial oral care field. An important benefit of these products was the discovery of the positive and specific antimicrobial property of the technology.
The discovery that our active oxygen technology formed an excellent treatment for eczema and psoriasis. A new range of dermal care Medical Devices (cream, lotion, shampoo, spray) was ready to market in 2006.
Research activities of Ardoz for more scientific aspects of our active oxygen technology and the further development of new applications.
A tooth whitening chewing gum was developed and marketed in collaboration with Perfetti.
Discovery of the preventive action of our active oxygen technology in relation to the formation of biofilm around teeth, in collaboration with ACTA (Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam)
