What are some specific examples of cosmetic processing applications?

Here are just a few key examples of cosmetic manufacturing processes that Lodige has designed systems for:

• Powder Blending: combining multiple dry powder ingredients together to make a stable blend as used in face and body powders. 
• Emulsification: heavy-duty mixing used to fuse oil-based and water-based liquids together, such as for facial creams and hair conditioners. 
• Granulation: another form of mixing in which a liquid binding agent is added into a dry powder mix, forming larger, free-flowing, low-dust granules, such as for high-grade facial foundations and bath salts.
• High-Shear Mixing: used to mix difficult powder-and-liquid formulations together to create high-viscosity, textured, infused, and homogeneous products such as organic creams, pigments, color bases, lipsticks, and eyeliners. 
• Drying: dehydration processing used to reduce final moisture content, stabilize mixes, normalize color and texture profiles, and add flowability into sticky products. 
• Thermal Processing (Heating/Cooling): heat treatment of products to stabilize and normalize products, alter product properties for subsequent processes (EG preheating prior to mixing), and sterilize products for consumer safety.
