Cosmetics emulsifying

When it comes to vegan alternative plant-based sources, we always think about replacing meat and dairy. But have you ever thought of replacing food additives such as gelatine, an animal-derived ingredient? Agar-agar is emerging as a seaweed-based alternative. The appeal of agar-agar is that it doesn't need to be refrigerated and can stay at room temperature; it is insoluble in cold water and dissolves well in liquids at over 90° Celsius. You find it in powder format for most industrial applications. But agar-agar processing also delivers flakes or threads for food production.

Agar-agar

Every minute, your skin loses between 30,000 and 40,000 dead skin cells. This means losing millions of cells every day, which makes your skin look less glowing. Being a moisturizing agent, body lotion has the power to hydrate your skin and  give the glow back to it. Production involves water and oil phases, which you then mix with an emulsifier and blend until homogeneous. Preservatives are essential for any solution containing water for the prevention of microbial growth.

Body lotion

The humble chamomile flower holds a rich blend of compounds that soothe body and mind. A natural antidepressant and anti-inflammatory, chamomile oil found its way into the earliest pharmacopeia. As more of its properties were discovered, the oil became an elemental ingredient for a vast range of pharmaceutical and cosmetic recipes. Chamomile oil processing equipment developed at the same speed, offering manufacturers multiple production techniques to extract the liquid from the precious flower.

Chamomile oil

Around a third of your natural protein composition is collagen. But the human body still finds good use for more of it, whether to reinforce joints or aid digestion. Collagen powder processing breaks the chains of amino acids into smaller units, allowing them to be consumed at higher concentrations without changing your diet.

Collagen powder

Did you know that in the 30s, cosmetic creams that contained radioactive material were booming on the market because they promised to reduce wrinkles? Thank God that's no longer the case. To make a cosmetic cream today, you need to create a stable mixture of oil and water and add an emulsifier to join these otherwise immiscible substances.

Cosmetic creams

A cosmetic foundation comes in a powder, cream, or liquid form. And did you know that the liquid form came about because women in the 30s and 40s didn't want to wear stockings? So to cover up their legs, they turned to leg makeup, which played an essential role in our liquid foundation formula. The foundation making process involves balancing the oil and water phase interactions during the formulation stage, mixing ingredients, and packaging using a liquid foundation filling machine.

Cosmetic foundation

Echinacea, also known as coneflowers, are brightly hued flowers with distinguished, cone-shaped flower heads. Over 200 medicines in the world are derived from coneflower extracts. Echinacea processing was introduced by Native Americans who were interested in the plant's medicinal qualities.

Echinacea extract

You can make emulsions by combining two immiscible liquids (oil and water, for example) in a suspension through the use of force. The use of emulsifiers is necessary to keep this mixture stable and permanent.

Koala bears diet exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. But the large concentration of cineole in the tree keeps most other predators at bay. Humans, though, discovered ways to extract the substance and use it as a remedy against inflammations and other diseases. The eucalyptus oil production process keeps evolving to maximize yields, ensuring enough eucalyptus forests for koalas.

If you want to make your eyes more attractive and add depth and dimension to them, applying color to your lids is what it takes. Eyeshadow serves this purpose and is available in powder, liquid, pencil and mousse form. In an eyeshadow production line, compact eyeshadows are produced by grinding and mixing powders before compaction, whereas molded eyeshadows are made from waxes and oils mixed with pigments and then poured into molds. Instead, by mixing oils, gelling agents, elastomers, and pigments you can make a mousse eyeshadow.

Looking beautiful is hard work. Queen Elizabeth I knows this well. Just think she used so many cosmetics and makeup containing toxic materials, especially lead-based face powder, that she even died from them. Today fortunately, you no longer need lead to make face powder. Simply mix pigments, fillers, dry and wet binders, and compress the mixture using a powder compacting press. Then the face powder is ready to be applied using a powder puff.

Face powder

Tissue paper can be traced back to tree fibres. But turning hardwood into soft sheets involves a string of manufacturing processes. Specialized facial tissue making machines adopt industry techniques such as drying and packaging to produce convenient boxes of silky paper.

Only one percent of the entire plant species on the planet produces essential oils, but that amount has found its way into various products, from perfumes to foods. Flower extraction systems are similarly diverse, and picking the right ones depends on the organic material and the final product.

Flower extract

The easiest and most commonly used method of making gels is mixing gelling agents with water to form a weakly cohesive internal structure. The gel production process is pretty linear and straightforward, from mixing hydrocolloids and water to labeling and sealing containers.

Gels

Star-shaped, lavender-scented, yellow, green, in a dispenser, today’s hand soap comes in a variety of shapes, fragrances, and colors. But whatever type of soap you choose for your good hand-washing habits, the basis of all soap making is mixing animal fats or vegetable oils with an alkali - in this case, a strong base - in a kettle to produce a chemical reaction called saponification.

Hand soap

Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricant found in all mammals. An effective humectant, its molecules can hold a thousand times their weight in water. However, hyaluronic acid extraction is a complex biotechnological process that requires a specialized manufacturing technique.

Invented in 1930 by Max Factor to give movie actresses' lips a brighter, more glossy look, lip gloss is a must-have for kids and adults alike. If you think about it, it's the first makeup product a little girl plays with. Making lip gloss involves the use of lip gloss making equipment for several steps such as melting, mixing and packaging.

Lip gloss

In America was estimated that $1,780 is the number that an average woman spends on lipstick during her life. Putting color on your lips apparently comes at a price and it is $1,780. Making lipstick involves pigment milling, melting of waxes, mixing of ingredients like oils and alcohol, molding and last but not least filling and packaging. Besides ingredients, what lipstick making equipment do you need?

Just when you think you've seen it all, you come to find out that there's nail polish on the market that costs $250,000. Yes, you got it right; two hundred fifty thousand dollars. And to think that the nail polish was originally a cocktail of beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Today, however, polymers, pigments and solvents are included in the mixture; when the mixture is ready, you can fill the bottles using nail polish filling equipment.

Nail polish

The most significant decision when making ointments is likely to be the choice between automatic or semi-automatic processes for it. This impacts on individual phases of the ointment cream manufacturing process - the water phase and oil phase.

Ointment

The wave of liquid soaps and detergents in the 1950s revolutionized home and personal care. Cheap and convenient, these off-the-shelf products fit perfectly into the lifestyle of the time. A few decades later, though, plastic waste put the sustainability of hygiene products into question. Refill tablet production technology answers that by eliminating single-use plastic. Instead of picking up a new bottle every time, end-users complete the formulation process in a multi-use container and with a simple instruction: just add water.

Refill tablets

Rose oil is an essential oil extracted from the petals of either Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia. Also known as liquid gold, rose oil production originated from Greece and is currently manufactured mainly in Bulgaria, Turkey, and Morocco. Studies have shown that rose oil has medicinal properties, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, and wound healing actions.

The ancient Greeks believed feeding sea buckthorn to their horses would give them a lustrous hide. Indeed, full of lipids and carotenoids, the fruit did contribute to glowing, reddish coats. However, the thorny plant also has benefits for humans. Sea buckthorn processing equipment extracts this unique vegetable oil full of fatty acids. The liquid is a prominent component in various food, cosmetic, and pharmacological preparations.

Cosmetic serums are a very light formulation with a high density of active ingredients dispersed in oil, water, or gel. This makes serums well suited to the delivery of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-aging ingredients, but provide less moisturization and protection. Serum production is mainly divided into stages related to optimal mixing and preventing degradation of the active ingredients.

Serums

Shampoo is a unique form of cleaning agent composed primarily of water and some form of surfactant. This surfactant provides the ability to bind oily substances for removal without leaving a residue, as traditional soaps might. The production process involves the batch mixing of its laboratory-defined formula, quality control, and filling stages.

Shampoo

Sunscreen is an emulsion which can be either oil-in-water or water-in-oil. To create it, you must prepare an oil phase and a water phase separately, then mix and heat them. Homogenization is a key process to guarantee that the product will have the right consistency. When manufacturing sunscreen, give special attention to protection against UV filters.

Cheese is the most demanding food in the entire dairy family to emulate using non-animal and dairy free ingredients. The complex physical and taste profiles of animal-derived milk products make plant-based cheese manufacturing challenging to pull off. But the growing appetite for lactose-free and non dairy products is serving alternative platters of cheese.

Plant-based cheese

With consumerism comes great responsibility. More and more are switching their diet towards vegan and vegetarian alternatives, varying from dairy to meat. As more plant-based meat technologies are being invented, the production is rising in popularity. Ever wondered which challenges come with that?

Plant-based meat

Can you think of anything better than a slice of bread with some spreadable cheese for a snack? Production of cheese spread is similar to other types of processed cheese, but it contains more moisture to be soft and spreadable. Cheese spread starts with one or more types of cheese along with other ingredients and food additives such as stabilizers and emulsifiers. After mixing and vacuum cooking these ingredients, you can pour them into molds for cooling before packaging.

Chocolate bars are popular snacks and gifts for many occasions and events, dating back to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They may also include other ingredients such as caramel, fruits, or nuts. Considering making chocolate bars? Make sure, though, that your chocolate bar making equipment can cover various processes such as grinding and melting, tempering, refining, and cooling.

Chocolate bars

Chocolate in its liquid form is a versatile confection that can serve as a coating for different desserts. The liquid chocolate-making process utilizes a chocolate coating machine and goes through a number of steps before achieving a fine, high gloss, and sharp look. What makes all of this possible is the process of tempering.

Chocolate coatings

Chocolate fillings

Bonbons are chocolate confectioneries originating from the French royal court in the 17th century. From the French word bon meaning “good”, bonbons are chocolate candies with a filling inside, usually fruits, brittle, nougat, or caramel. Equipment for chocolate bonbons are varied and must be capable of chocolate tempering, molding, scraping, filling, and covering.

Chocolate bonbons

Consumers usually eat chocolate spreads along with bread, or other grain-based items, such as pancakes, biscuits, waffles, and others. Although one particular brand has dominated this market for more than 50 years, there is still a place for new, health-friendly innovations and production ideas using chocolate spread machines.

Chocolate spread

Compound chocolate is a known alternative for pure chocolate. It uses vegetable fats that are semi-solid at room temperature as an alternative component. Compared to regular chocolates, they can deliver a richer cocoa flavor using practical compound chocolate production methods. It also does not have to undergo tempering due to the natural, glossy texture of vegetable fats.

Chili sauce is produced worldwide, but each is augmented by the cultural elements of where it is made. Most chili sauces consist primarily of chilis, though some preparations include tomato as the primary ingredient. Vinegar, sugar, and salt are added to the chili sauce making machinery, and the mixture is thickened mainly by cooking.

Chili sauce

Tomato sauce is a popular ingredient for adding a sweet, slightly acidic touch of flavor to food and recipes. Sauce production involves cooking the tomatoes, removing the seeds and stems with a strainer, using a grinder or milling machine, and then further cooking to the desired consistency. Tomato sauce making equipment is used in industrial production to speed up the various preparation steps while maintaining the quality of the sauce.

Industrial food processors are a vital component of the food processing industry. Large-scale food processing is made possible with the help of food processing equipment and automated food processing systems. Food production lines that utilize these technologies can increase efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain consistent quality control. But what exactly does an industrial food processor do? Simply put, it's a machine that processes raw materials into finished products. There are three types of food processors: batch processors, continuous processors, and combination processors. Batch processors are used for small-scale production runs, while continuous processors are ideal for high-volume production.

Food Processors

Industrial emulsifiers

An emulsifier is used to mix two immiscible liquids. Heating or cooling requirements during emulsification, overpressure or vacuum requirements, the need for wall scrapers, design of the mixing head, the viscosity of the liquids, and the desired droplet size are all important considerations when selecting an emulsifying system. Emulsifiers are typically used in the food industry for the production of batters, creams, and sauces, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry for the production of creams and lotions, and in the chemical industry for the production of paint and other emulsions.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The heating process is a step of raising the temperature of food, pharma, cosmetics, and many other types of products. You may employ different heating solutions for this process, depending on the type of product you intend to manufacture. Selecting the appropriate heater machine for your product is quite important since various products require different ranges of temperatures and different ways of heat transfer using exchangers. Industrial heating equipment varies in two ways - the type of material it can process and the reaction you want to achieve.</span>

Heating

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.
