Our Solutions for Cosmetics Industry

 

The Cosmetics Industry

The cosmetics industry continues to grow fast on a global level. In 2023, the world market was valued at over 617.2 billion USD, and forecasts for 2024 indicate that the industry could reach 670.8 billion USD, with an annual growth rate of 9%. Italy ended 2023 with a global turnover of 15.1 billion EUR, and an increase of 13.8% over the previous year. Exports reached a value of over 7 billion EUR, growing by 20.2%.

Cosmetics factories are highly specialised facilities that combine research, development, and production to create a wide range of beauty products. These factories are equipped with advanced laboratories for advanced formulation and quality control, automated production lines and packaging departments. These facilities not only produce cosmetics, but are often also innovation centres where new formulas and technologies are developed to meet the needs of the global market.

 

The Importance of Cooling

In cosmetics production, cooling is crucial first of all to ensure the stability of the product. Indeed, cooling helps stabilise emulsions, preventing the separation of the oil and water phases. This is essential to maintain the consistency and efficacy of the product. Cooling cosmetics also reduces the risk of microbial contamination. High temperatures can encourage the growth of bacteria and fungi, compromising product safety. Finally, controlled cooling can improve the sensory properties of the final product, such as texture and feel on the skin, making it more pleasant for the user.
