Do you know the production process of the skin care products you use every day?

VELP Laboratory Equipment Expert-Tengyi Technology

Homogenization is a crucial step in the preparation of cosmetics and skin care products: it determines the success or failure of a product. This article will show you how to quickly make a facial cream in four steps using VELP instrument laboratory equipment!

Creams are very common in daily life and have many functions, among which moisturizing function is the most popular.

Creams are made up of either oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, and can achieve a variety of benefits by adding specific ingredients, but the production process of most creams shares common operating steps.
Typically, the oil phase consists homogeneously of emollients and lubricants. The aqueous phase, on the other hand, is homogeneously composed of emulsifiers and thickeners, to which flavors, colorants and preservatives may be added, depending on the needs of the production recipe.

The lab equipment you need to make the perfect cream

When making cream, the preparation process requires precision and efficiency. To achieve the desired concentration and quality, these three general laboratory equipment are essential: a homogenizer, a heated magnetic stirrer, and an overhead DC stirrer.

OV 625 DigitalPowerful homogenizer

Powerful digital high shear homogenizer designed for homogenization, emulsification, suspension and high-speed mixing of cosmetics.

The OV 625 Digital homogenizer is a reliable tool for achieving optimal dispersion of emollients and lubricants during the oily phase of facial cream production. Its digital controls ensure accurate dispersion of ingredients, helping to achieve the uniform blend that is so critical to the cream’s texture.
