The Industrial Revolution, thanks to the use of machinery, made it possible to produce large quantities of goods. This mass production led to a greater availability of products for a larger number of customers, in what became known as the mass market.
This increase in productivity contributed to the shift from craftsmanship to mass production, applying different strategies aimed at achieving maximum efficiency while minimizing the need for worker skills, specialization, and on-the-job training. In short, it involved the manufacture of standardized products in large volumes by workers who were not necessarily skilled.
At Sibari Republic, we believe that our society needs to rediscover the virtues of artisans, not out of nostalgia for a bygone era, but by celebrating the profile and qualities of artisans in order to revive manufacturing and create higher-quality products.
A third renaissance, one that would relaunch the industrial fabric through small and medium-sized enterprises, a form of technologically based craftsmanship, and a strong connection to the land, local tradition, and culture.
On the other hand, mass production generally uses large quantities of raw materials and also generates large amounts of waste, creating a mode of production that is not properly balanced with its surroundings or the environment.
This sustainable manufacturing approach involves production methods and techniques that allow workers to demonstrate their skills and creativity, contributing to product improvement and the company’s competitiveness.
In this new manufacturing paradigm, workers generally fit better within ethical practices, with consideration for and respect of employee satisfaction.
At Sibari Republic, we are proud to say that we are meticulous and always pay close attention to detail. We take great care with our manufacturing processes so that the active ingredients retain their properties, always ensuring that they remain in optimal condition. So much so that, in order to reflect this in our products, we have had to coin a new concept for them: Slow Manufacturing Process.
This term is based on the concepts of “Slow Cosmétique” and “Slow Factory” and represents a new manufacturing paradigm. The term “slow” can carry either a positive or a negative meaning. The dictionary defines “slow” as “delayed or unhurried in movement or action.” In the context of industrial production, slowness has always had a negative connotation. Slow production often meant higher costs and lower profit.
At Sibari Republic, we are committed to manufacturing processes that are far more time-intensive than those conventionally used in the cosmetics industry, prioritising the quality and effectiveness of the resulting products over profit.
During the product development process, various chromatographic analyses are carried out to determine the molecular weight and concentration of the hyaluronic acid present in the product. Through the results obtained from the different chromatograms, we were able to verify that the product is affected when exposed to high temperatures, excessive agitation, or light.
That is why our manufacturing process is carried out at a controlled temperature and at low stirring speeds. The main objective of this slow process is to prevent the degradation of the hyaluronic acid biopolymer. Although this way of proceeding slows down the production process, it results in an improvement in the product’s quality and effectiveness.
Thanks to this Slow Production, we can guarantee that the specified concentrations of active ingredients translate into real results, ensuring optimal performance. In this way, we give our products an added value that is close to craftsmanship, something impossible to achieve through automation and modern technologies.
