Сosmetics production

As with food, cosmetics are subject to strict hygiene safety requirements, so cosmetics production equipment must also meet strict requirements for interaction with the final product. In this regard, the most indispensable material is stainless steel, from which the vast majority of food processing or cosmetics production plants are made.
 
Food processing equipment is mainly made of stainless steel, and many of the processes used in food processing are also required for cosmetics.
 
Mixers are one of the common types of equipment. In the food and cosmetics industry, mixers are used to create a homogeneous mass from various ingredients. Mixers can be mechanical, rotary or vacuum depending on the type of product being produced.
 
Homogenizers are also a common type of equipment for the food and cosmetic industries. Homogenizers are used to create a homogeneous emulsion that has the desired particle size. They are used to produce creams, lotions, tonics and other products that require a uniform distribution of ingredients.
 
Cosmetic creams, lotions and tonics are emulsions consisting of water and oil phases, which are mixed with a homogenizer until a stable mixture is obtained. The homogenizer is used to break up large particles and evenly distribute small particles in the formula, thus achieving the optimal quality of the cosmetic product. After the water and oil phases are mixed, active ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, peptides, etc. can be added to the formula. Once the active ingredients have been added, the homogenizer is used again to evenly distribute those ingredients throughout the formula. The emulsion is then cooled and filled into packaging, ready for labeling and distribution.
 
Technological processes for the production of creams, lotions and serums are similar to the production of food products such as sauces, ketchups and mayonnaises.
In both cases, cooking, emulsification, homogenization and mixing of various components is required. The manufacturing process for both food and cosmetic products uses reactors, mixing tanks, pumps, agitators and homogenizers.
Also, in both cases, compliance with flow sheets and safety standards of the food and cosmetic industry is required.
