In our gelatine free range we use a hydrocolloid skin protection without gelatine or other animal components, which is particularly kind to the skin.
Gelatine is a pure, natural protein obtained from raw collagen, a safe by-product of the meat industry. Specifically, gelatine consists mostly of collagen, minerals and water.
Due to its unique gelling and thickening properties, gelatine is not only used by food manufacturers, although it is also used in the medical supply industry. However, there is a growing demand for gelatine free pharmaceutical products.
Although gelatine is a widely used and proven ingredient in the medical device industry, there is a high demand for gelatine-free alternatives - whether due to personal preference, religious beliefs, wish for alternatives or allergies.
