Hot Process Emulsion with Beauty Science Labs

Watch Tumi Siwoku, Principal Chemist at Beauty Science Labs, and James Cardus from Silverson Machines as they demonstrate how to formulate a Hot Process Emulsion using a Silverson Laboratory Mixer.

In this video, Tumi shares her knowledge from her time in the cosmetics industry and explains what a Hot Process Emulsion is and how the Silverson homogenizer enables the formation of high-quality creams and lotions. Learn about the different phases, the ingredients in each phases and mixing them at temperature.

The L5M-A can be supplied with a temperature probe which can be invaluable in this application. As Tumi explains, temperature plays a critical role, not only in combining the oil and water phases, but also in determining when to add temperature-sensitive components. Ingredients such as fragrances, colorants, preservative systems, and extracts must be incorporated below a specific threshold to maintain their efficacy and stability. See how the Silverson Laboratory mixer is able to maintain uniform mixing throughout, delivering a consistent, stable emulsion.
