On the trail of the product

Traceability | The ability to track individual products as they make their way through the supply chain provides security and builds trust with the customer. Companies achieve this by providing each product with a unique digital identity.

Needs of eco-conscious consumers

Sustainability | Finding the perfect balance between ensuring sustainable sourcing, and to also ensure high-growth business development can be hard. Robin Cordier knows what options are available to meet consumer demands for cosmetic products with a low environmental impact.

Sustainable sourcing

Supply chain | Sustainability plays an important role in the cosmetics industry worldwide. However, the extent to which it is practised differs significantly from region to region. Tatiana Kalman talks about her experiences in increasing the quota of sustainably produced raw materials.

Mapping the processes

Traceability | If you want to sell a cosmetic product in Europe, you must be able to prove all the ingredients and their ‘history’. That’s quite an effort, considering that the market is becoming more and more global. Lea Saporetti shows what measures cosmetics manufacturers can take to improve the traceability of their products.

Prozesstechnik für Profis

Die Home- und Personal Care Produktion zeichnet sich durch ständig ändernde Markt-Trends und immer neue Produkte aus. Will man in dieser Branche Gewinne erwirtschaften, dann muss man sofort reagieren können. Die Maschinen und Anlagen müssen so flexibel sein, dass man schnell und einfach auf neue Rohstoffe, neue Anforderungen und neue Produktideen reagieren kann. Die gleichen Anforderungen gelten auch für Lohnhersteller und OEMs ohne Produktmarketing. Die Produktion muss effizient, zukunftsorientiert, sicher und kostengünstig sein.

Agile workflows

Processes | The effects of our fast-paced times are also evident in the cosmetics market. Those who can react at short notice are quicker to meet customers’ wishes. Walter Klein explains how optimising production can work.

Effective mixing technology

Not just the ingredients and the formulation are decisive for a good product. The manufacturing process also influences the quality. Ulf Sieckmann explains how a special technique can be used to achieve a high sun protection factor with little use of materials.

Cleaning validation

Safe cosmetics that are not harmful to health are a must. Avoiding possible residues and contaminants in products is of central importance. The process of cleaning validation is an important element and is explained in more detail by Dr Bernhard Fellenberg.

Effective mixing system

The manufacture of powder products can sometimes be a big challenge, since small amounts of pigments must be mixed completely evenly with relatively high amounts of carrier substances. Christian Schilken introduces the horizontal ploughshare mixer, which was developed for powder products.

Automatic and flexible

Every season customers ask for new colours and product sizes in make-up, creating a processing dilemma for Laverana. Daniel Traub explains how a fully automatic packaging process and TLM-line solved the challenge.
