USNIC ACID

This natural bactericide, extracted from the Cetraria Islandica (Iceland Lichen or Artico) is well-advised in replacement of antibiotic medicines as it can be taken in high quantities without any acute or chronic toxicity or danger for health. This resulted from many exams and has been confirmed by an examination dated 15/09/200 rendered by Messrs. Luigia Favalli, Luigi Manzo and Roberto Scelsi, all professors working at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Toxicology and Pathological Anatomy of Pavia University.

“Arktos S.p.A.: tooth cream oral hygiene homeopatic products decay prevention

Arktos S.p.A. founded in 1992, comes out from the idea to solve two topical and notable problems for each individual: health and beauty. Starting from the oral hygiene and becoming aware of the consumers' demand, Arktos tried to give an unified answer through the creation of "Perlax" line products, which allowed (thanks to its natural ingredients) to satisfy both necessities. During these years, the whitening non abrasive action of Perlax toothpaste assured the beauty of a radiant smile without damaging the email, while its active principles have performed an antibacterial action for the oral cavity. Arktos, fortified by a product of high quality, started the distribution of PERLAX firstly in a selective way exclusively in perfumeries, subsequently in herbalist's shops and drugstores until December 1999 when it reached the large-scale retail trade. The market evolution has brought to great changes, particularly above consumers purchase uses but also with regards to the sell conditions of the companies. Arktos, faithful to its "mission", and encouraged by the approval and fidelity shown by all those that have tasted Perlax Products during the times, goes on and shall always go on as to reach its announced targets, health and beauty, putting the quality of its products before all, for its clients defence.
