Makeup Loading Equipment

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.

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

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

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.

Sunscreen

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

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.

Emulsions

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.

Body lotion

It's been estimated that we spend an average of 3,000 hours brushing our teeth. In fact, in our daily routine, toothpaste is something we use at least twice a day. Making toothpaste is a very straightforward process; just mix together water, abrasives, humectants, thickening and foaming agents, sweeteners, and flavors in the right amounts until you get a paste. Once you have added the colors, you can fill a tube with your colorful toothpaste and seal it before being shipped to stores.

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.

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

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

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.

Makeup

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.

Pharmaceuticals

Process

Continuous

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.

Conveying

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.

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

Biopharmaceuticals

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 most important part of a capsule is its contents. But if the shell is not carefully made, the dosage ingredients inside lose effectiveness. From molding to sizing, capsule manufacturing equipment forms perfectly-matching husks ready for filling. The simplicity of encapsulation revolutionized pharmaceuticals since it was introduced in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. However, capsules are changing to increase delivery efficiency and reduce the dependency on gelatin.

Capsules

Essential oils are known as the liquid gems of nature. The sweet-smelling essences impact not just our senses but also our biochemical and cellular make-up. Besides aromatherapy, the products of an essential oil extraction system found applications in pharmaceuticals and foods.

Essential oil

Parenteral preparations refer to drugs using non-oral means of administration. Injectables, such as needles and syringes, are used to deliver a drug into the systemic circulation directly in the veins, muscles, under the skin, or in the tissue.

These parenteral formulations are pharmaceutical dosage forms that have strict regulations on being sterile, pyrogen-free, and free from visible particulate matter including reconstituted sterile powders. Solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and gels with APIs intended for administration by injection are usually supplied in vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes, or pens to facilitate ease of use.

Injectables

<p class="filterable-grid__description">Liquid dosage forms are designed for easy absorption. The body quickly carries the active ingredients through the system and triggers the required response. But the greatest advantage of this medicinal type is its flexibility in formulation and dispensation. From lotions and syrups to drops and sprays, liquid solutions can be adapted to different administration routes including parenteral, topical, and oral. The fundamental liquid dosage manufacturing process involves dissolving or suspending solutes in a fluid. But that is not enough. A precise blend of excipients is needed to make the medicine go down.</p>

Liquid dosage forms

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Nutraceuticals

Pharmaceutical powders provide longer shelf life and better stability than liquid dosage forms. But the processing of pharmaceutical powders is crucial for growing segments besides pharmacy. Functional foods and cosmetics formulated with active ingredients and excipients depend on powdered forms to fulfill their promises.

Pharmaceutical powder

Ancient civilizations discovered that plant extracts were useful for the treatment of pathologies. The origin of plant extraction cannot be specifically verified, but we can infer that the earliest attempts at plant extraction were more intuitive than scientific. Today, the extraction of compounds is a precise process with plant extraction systems complimenting traditional knowledge.

Plant extracts

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

Powder

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.

Tablets

Industrial feeders and hoppers are used to provide a consistent, regulated flow of material to the production line for further processing. Feeders and hoppers are generally used in the industry in conjunction with other processing machines like crushers, dryers, conveyors, and mixers. Considerations for choosing a suitable feeding system include the physical state and particle size of the infeed, the output volumetric flow rate required and the type of connection to be made with the processing machinery.

Industrial hoppers

R&amp;D

Industrial feeding systems allows you to control the flow of solid bulk materials throughout the manufacturing line. After loading your material onto the vibrating hopper, a screw at the base drives it out in uniform doses to the next stage of processing. New feeding technologies are designed to deal with challenges of powders clumping together in the hopper (bridging and ratholing) that interrupt the outflow. Common feeder systems include centrifugal feeders, vibratory feeders as well as elevator, linear and pneumatic feeders.

Feeding

Low speed tube-filling machines are used for small scale production lines in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Traditionally low speed machines

A belt conveyor system uses pulleys or drums to keep an endless loop of conveying belts in continuous motion for material handling. Considerations for choosing a suitable conveyor belt system include the physical form of the product, processing requirements, and the desired speed and volume of transportation. Belt conveying systems find numerous applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries such as filling and packaging operations. In the biomass industry, these systems are used for moving biomass feedstock to the boiler. In the mineral industry, conveying belts process and transport granular and crushed minerals. Conveyor belts are heavy-duty machinery that is used to move materials from one place to another. They are commonly used in factories, warehouses, and other industrial settings to move items such as boxes, containers, and other materials along a production line.

<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.
