Creams, gels and paste

The cosmetics market offers a wide range of creams and gels designed to address various skincare and beauty needs. These products come in different formulations, ingredients, and target specific skin concerns. Some of the most common types of cosmetic creams and gels are: creams and lotions designed to hydrate the skin and maintain its moisture balance; anti-aging creams serums; acne treatment gels and creams; sunscreen lotions and gels to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation; eye creams, designed to target the delicate skin around the eyes; brightening and whitening creams; hydrogel masks, sheets infused with serums or essences; body lotions, creams and muds; hair removal creams and gels; toothpaste; veterinary paste.

All these products may vary in texture, from lightweight lotions with low viscosity to thicker creams like muds or toothpaste, resulting in different critical aspects to take into consideration when designing and engineering the manufacturing equipment for their production.
