iTiT Cosmetics, headquartered in Italy, would like to clear up some confusion for its customers who are raising concerns over Made in Italy products, due to the coronoavirus outbreak.

ITiT’s Mirko Panico, CEO/Founder, along with Raquel Melgarejo Antequera, Technical Director/ Founder, issued a statement to its customers. 

Panico and Antequera say business is not affected, since the company’s factories are not located in Italy’s “Red Zone”  — and production is running smoothly.

“Our factories are not located in the areas where outbreaks of the coronavirus have been identified, so we are not affected by any ordinance to suspend activities,” the statement explains. 

iTiT would also like to spread the word that the virus causes a respiratory disease that cannot be transmitted through packaged products, or its cosmetic products, which are manufactured in full compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).         

The company also emphasizes good hygiene among employees, and has strict rules in place, along with daily controls regarding machinery. “Respecting the GMP means producing in a controlled way, in order to ensure that the product meets the requirements of identity, purity, effectiveness, and safety,” the statement says.
