The full production cycle of facial cosmetics consists of several successive stages. At the very beginning, an idea is worked out, marketing research is carried out, the type of cosmetics, design, and type of production are determined – single or serial. Then the existing recipe is developed or supplemented, raw materials are purchased, containers are selected, packaging design is selected. Samples are tested and approved. Our company is ready to take over all stages of this rather complicated and responsible process.
Manufacture of cosmetics for the face
The transformation of raw materials into finished products is a rather complex and interesting process at the same time. It begins with the preparation of the premises and equipment, instructing the staff, hanging the ingredients in accordance with the recipe. The creamy texture characteristic of most types of cosmetics is formed in reactors. First, water is poured into them and heated, and then, according to the technical map, ingredients are added. The solid components are melted and mixed in the fat furnace boiler for their sequential supply to the reactor and connection with the water component. Then the resulting cosmetic mass is homogenized, cooled, mixed, unloaded. Samples are transferred to laboratory control. Compliance with the standards of all product indicators is checked – viscosity, color, odor, density, consistency, pH level. The method of accelerated aging determines the duration of the cosmetic product for the face. Subject to successful verification, the product is packaged in jars, bottles, tubes on automatic lines with marking and labeling.

Preservatives give creams, masks, and serums longevity and reliable protection against bacteria. Natural extracts include propolis, eucalyptus, bird cherry, birch extracts.
