Makeup filling

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

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.

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

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?

Lipstick

Mascara is a cosmetic makeup used to thicken, lengthen and darken your eyelashes to give brighter, bigger-looking eyes. Made of coal dust and petroleum jelly, the first mascara formula was created during the Victorian era, as Victorian ladies were so vain to spend hours upon hours beautifying themselves. The mascara manufacturing process known today includes the anhydrous and emulsion methods in which both involve a base mixture of pigments, waxes, and oils.

Mascara

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.

Bottle filling equipment entails transferring your products to a bottle which involves inspecting the material, and then conveyors feed it into the machine which then pours it into the vessels using volumetric technology and nozzles before capping them. Bottle filing varies not only in product type but in the size, shape, and material of the container too. Depending on your operation, filling systems may adopt in-line or rotary methods before transferring the bottles to the next stage of processing.

Bottle filling equipment

A tube is a collapsible package, made of plastic or metal, used for packaging highly viscous liquids or pastes. Considerations for choosing a suitable tube filling system include the nature and viscosity of the product to be filled, the tube material, capping requirements, and the desired filling speed and volume. Tube fillers are used in the food industry for the packaging of food pastes; in the chemical industry for packaging caulk, glues, and sealants. In the cosmetics industry, tube fillers are used for the packaging of gels and creams and in the pharmaceutical industry for the packaging of toothpaste and ointments.

Filling lines

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

According to a legend, Cleopatra soaked her sails in her perfume so that Mark Antony could smell her ships before they arrived. This is to say that, from soaps and shampoos to perfumes, conditioners and pomades, cosmetics have always been highly valued and used for their properties of aesthetic enhancement. Cosmetics are a broad class of topical agents applied for various purposes such as cleansing, protecting, beautifying, or otherwise altering your appearance. As a result, a wide array of processing equipment is used in the cosmetics industry.

Cosmetics

Although not all women use makeup every day, almost all of them own at least one makeup product, be it lipstick or face powder. Most makeup products share the same basic ingredients of waxes, oils, and fillers with pigments like iron oxide used for colors and shades. Makeup manufacturing equipment includes pulverizers, mixers, and mechanical press machines to produce cosmetic products in different forms such as powder, liquid, or mousse.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

After shaving, anti-aging, with organic ingredients, for the feet... Lotions are many. They compose the skincare world, which has been growing in recent years. More consumers look for the benefits of products that promise to enhance well-being and self-care. Whether you want to help prevent wrinkles, provide vitamins or just hydrate your consumers’ skin, get your formula and select lotion making equipment to get started.

Lotion

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

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.

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

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.

Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

Cannabinoids

The topical route is a convenient route for the self-administration of drugs. But turning a pharmaceutical formulation into an easy-to-use cream involves specialized cream manufacturing equipment. Topical dosage forms are essentially an emulsion of oil and water.  But the ratios can be changed to process it into lotions, ointments, and gels.

Cream

When looking for capping equipment, it is crucial to know first which type of capper your product requires. Do you want screw caps, twist-off caps, hand pumps, or push-pull caps on your bottle or container? If you require different cap types for format changeover times can be time-consuming. The bottle cap seals the top opening of a bottle to guard the product against leakage and spoilage and sterility and filling requirements depend on the nature of your product.

Aseptic filling equipment is crucial for sensitive products, as they need to be filled into their primary packaging in an environment free from contamination caused by harmful bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. Choosing an aseptic filling solution requires consideration of the physical form of the product, the type of primary packaging, the volume to be dosed per package, and the production speed. Aseptic fillers are widely used for cleaning, filling, and sealing pre-sterilized vials, cartridges, ampoules, and syringes in the pharmaceutical industry. Aseptic filling is also used in the food industry to process for example, dairy products that need harmful bacteria's minimized, or ensure shelf-stable products that do not require refrigeration. In these industries, aseptic equipment is integrated into the production line for maximum isolation and sterilization. And, can either be configured as an automated or manual process, depending on standards that the products require.

Aseptic filling equipment

Bottling equipment draws a measured quantity of your drink, food, or formulation from a holding tank and fills it into bottles. These bottles usually need to be checked, capped, labeled, and sealed for distribution. Bottling solutions differ in product metering system, sterilization level, and bottle type and sealing system depending on your production scale and product format and regulations. Bottling systems are utilized in a variety of industries. For example, in the food and beverage industry as well as in cosmetics and pharma.

A pouch is a small bag made from a single layer or a multi-layered laminate of paper, foil, and plastic films. The choice of pouch packaging equipment depends on the type of pouch, physical form of the product to be packaged, desired dimensions or volume of the pouch, and whether pouch forming is required or pre-formed pouches will be used. Specialized equipment may be required for the inclusion of a dispensing spout in the pouch or to make the pouch retortable.

Food

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Sauces bring personality to a dish. From a spicy, dense Zhoug to a tangy, runny Suero, sauces add an extra dimension of flavor, texture, and mouthfeel. But developing recipes into industrial products with long shelf lives and consistent tastes is a complex process. Specialized sauce making equipment prepares and combines the ingredients into delicious, high-quality foods. The result is a sauce ready to elevate meals.

The process of forming allows you to shape your products homogeneously. Forming machines are fed the manufactured material in bulk and cut it down to specification, so the process takes place between formulation of the mass and the packaging of the final item.

A special class of this equipment – Form, Fill, and Seal Machines (FFS) – creates bags and pouches from flat material such as plastic sheets, fills them with your designated product, and seals them.

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.

Conveyor systems are used for moving materials from one location to another. Considerations for choosing a suitable industrial conveying system include the nature of the product, its physical state, the desired conveying rate, and sensitivity of the product to heat and mechanical shock. Conveying equipment is used in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, biomass, and mineral industries to move materials around a warehouse as well as to transport bulk powders, granules, and grains for processing and filling. These types of systems are usually automated and there is a wide variety of solutions to choose when it comes to the type of conveyor. Types include screw, gravity, chain, roller and belt conveyors.

<h2>From lipstick to mascara – makeup manufacturing equipment in production lines</h2>
Makeup manufacturing process requires the use of multiple makeup manufacturing equipment. Grinders and pulverizers mill ingredients into fine sizes before blending them with other elements. Mixers and temperature-controlled tanks with agitators can help you maintain the texture and structural integrity of the product. The amount of the ingredients and how well it is mixed will give your makeup product its distinct properties such as covering power, absorption or adhesiveness. Equipment and ingredients obviously change based on the product you're making.

For instance, in the case of compacted powder, the final mixture is compacted using a mechanical pressing machine to form a “cake” structure in containers. Lipsticks and mascaras are produced from a mixture of waxes, oils, and pigments. Eyeshadow relies on pigments, fillers, and binders to form its structure and hold its place when applied. Makeup products are also mixed with preservatives to have a longer life and to prevent them from deteriorating quickly.

<h2>Regulations in cosmetic industry</h2>
Regulations for cosmetics are based on the safety of consumers, but they vary from country to country.<a href="https://www.safecosmetics.org/get-the-facts/regulations/international-laws/"> In the EU, the regulations are more stringent</a>. The products go through safety assessments and there are more chemical ingredients that are prohibited for use compared <a href="https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-laws-regulations/prohibited-restricted-ingredients-cosmetics">to the list in US regulations</a>. Some chemicals like lead and parabens are banned in Europe but are not banned in the US.

Chemical ingredients that are found or suspected to cause cancer, irritation, birth defects, or mutations are strictly prohibited. Aside from a list of chemical ingredients that are prohibited, cosmetic manufacturers are required to indicate details of the product such as ingredients, manufacturer contact details, country of origin, legal compliance, net quantity of the product, etc. in their product label.

<h2>Mineral-based makeup – is it the same as organic makeup?</h2>

Mineral makeup has been making a splash in recent years. That's because there's a trend to look for products that are increasingly safe and chemical-free. The problem is that people assume that the word mineral means organic and natural. Half-truth. It is natural but it is not organic. Mineral-based and organic makeup come both from natural ingredients. The difference is that mineral makeup doesn’t contain anything that is plant or animal based. <a href="https://people.howstuffworks.com/about-makeup5.htm">It is made from naturally occurring minerals like zinc or titanium dioxide</a> that are micronized, or ground and milled to produce the powders necessary for the formulation of the product. Organic makeup instead, is made primarily from carbon-based ingredients like plants that are grown without any pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides.

As for chemical ingredients, mineral makeup contains fewer chemicals than regular makeups. But that doesn't mean they are always completely chemical-free. Especially if these products are in liquid form, they may contain paraben preservatives. Also, not all minerals are good even if they are pure and natural; for example, some mineral makeup companies <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_safety/docs/sccs_o_147.pdf">have started removing a mineral called bismuth oxychloride</a> because it may be dangerous to some people.
