What are the most common processing challenges in cosmetics production? 

Lodige has had the privilege of helping cosmetic processors with a wide range of operational improvements and new production capabilities, with these four challenges tending to come up most often: 

• Long mix times due to poor mixing action and dose control
• Poor cleanability resulting in long sanitation cycles
• Low quality blends with clumps, stratification, separation, and inconsistent viscosities
• Batch-to-batch carryover due to harborage and non-sanitary equipment features (which also directly risks contamination, spoilage, and microorganism growth)
