What Is Used To Make Cosmetic Cream?

The industrial production of cosmetic cream is a complex process involving multiple aspects such as formula development, raw material selection, production technology, and required equipment. IMMAY provides you with the basic steps for making cosmetic cream and the factors to consider:

1. Formula Development

The formula for cosmetic cream needs to be developed based on factors such as target market, expected effects, and cost budget. The formula typically includes several types of ingredients:

Base ingredients: such as water, mineral oil, plant oils, etc., serving as the base of the cream.

Active ingredients: such as vitamins, antioxidants, plant extracts, etc., providing specific skincare effects.

Emulsifiers: help in mixing the water and oil phases to form a stable emulsion.

Thickeners: adjust the cream's consistency and texture.

Preservatives: extend the product's shelf life and prevent microbial growth.

Fragrances: provide a pleasant scent.

Colorants: adjust the product's color.

2. Raw Material Selection 

The selection of raw materials is crucial for the quality and effectiveness of the cosmetic cream. Reliable quality and non-irritating materials should be chosen.

3. Production Technology 

The production process of cosmetic cream involves:

Mixing: blending the oil and water phase ingredients in oil phase and water phase tank of vacuum homogenizer mixer at a certain temperature.

Emulsification: thorough emulsification of the oil and water phases using a high-speed stirring system in a cosmetic cream mixer, forming a stable emulsion.

Cooling: cooling the emulsified mixture to room temperature.

Filling: filling the cooled emulsion into containers such as bottles.

4. Required Equipment 

The equipment required for producing cosmetic cream mainly includes:

Laboratory equipment: such as pH meters, viscosity meters, and biochemical incubators, used to test various indicators of the product.

Reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment machine: processing raw water through reverse osmosis and continuous EDI (electrodeionization) to ensure compliance with the required water standards for cream production.

Vacuum emulsifier mixer : used for initial blending and high-speed stirring of ingredients to ensure thorough emulsification and improve product stability.

Stainless steel storage tanks: used for storing finished cream products.

Cosmetic cream filling machine: fills the cream into containers such as bottles.

5. Quality Control 

Throughout the production process, strict quality control is necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of the product.

Microbiological testing: ensuring the product meets the standards of your region.

Stability testing: examining the product's stability under different conditions.

User testing: evaluating the product's actual effectiveness.

6. Packaging and Labeling 

Finally, the product needs to be packaged, with labels indicating information such as ingredients, instructions for use, production date, shelf life, etc. In any case, making cosmetics face cream is a scientifically rigorous process that requires specific expertise and skills.
