Lipstick vs. lip gloss: same ingredients, different result

How to make lip gloss using lip gloss making equipment?

The lip gloss making equipment covers three different steps: melting, mixing and packaging. Firstly, the waxes and oils are heated separately in process vessels and then combined in a mixer. The powdered pigment is dispersed into a portion of the oil in a conventional mill. This is later added to the oil-wax phase and mixed uniformly in a colloid mill to achieve a smooth consistency. After cooling, you can add fragrances, preservatives and other ingredients.

Finally, you can pack your lip gloss into plastic tubes. The filling machine continuously mixes the lip gloss to maintain its consistency, thus avoiding lumps during the filling process. Electronic control enables automatic loading and screwing of the brush applicator, built into the tube cap, and the finished product is ejected automatically.
