Production of Nanocosmetics

Abstract

For successful product development and production of nanocosmetics, the interplay between material properties, formulation, process equipment, and process parameters must carefully be understood. Agglomeration or aggregation state of the starting material and its breakage behavior in combination with the desired product fineness define the necessary process equipment and its applied process parameters. Formulation with additives is crucial for the process performance as well as for product stability. Equipment should be operated in optimal parameter settings to combine the advantages of low energy consumption, high productivity, high product quality, and low product contamination. To realize complex nanocosmetic products, such as nanoparticle-loaded nanoemulsion droplets, process integration, and application of microsystem technology can assist.
