Silverson Machines will showcase the process of creating a basic cosmetic cream emulsion using their multipurpose laboratory mixers at the upcoming SCS Formulate trade show in Coventry, UK.

According to a company representative, “If you’re making a cosmetic cream or lotion, mixing is the critical stage in forming a stable emulsion and obtaining the right consistency, skin feel, and functionality in the end product.” The key to achieving a stable emulsion lies in obtaining a fine, uniform droplet size. “The more shear energy introduced into the mix, the smaller the droplets will become, resulting in a stable, homogeneous emulsion,” she added.
Silverson High Shear Mixers are particularly suited for this purpose, capable of producing emulsions with droplet sizes ranging from 2 to 5 microns, and even finer emulsions down to 0.5 microns, depending on the formulation.

Recently, Silverson launched a series of new mixer variants designed to meet the growing demand for small-scale in-line mixers that bridge the gap between their laboratory-scale and production-scale mixers. These new models include the 150 UHS small-scale in-line mixer, the 088/150 UHS small-scale multistage in-line mixer, the UHS-HV small-scale in-line mixer, and the FMX10 small-scale powder/liquid mixer.
