IDEAL PROPERTIES

4. HOW IT WORK
 Lipstick are made from hydrophobic materials. When the solid formula is applied to lip surface ,
friction melts it briefly and allow for transfer . The material cools and reform creating a film that
sticks to surface due to hydrophobic interaction .

5. COMPOSITION
Wax mixture:- Wax provides the structure to the solid
lipstick . Glass and hard of lipstick are hardly dependant on
characteristics and the quantity of wax used. So composition
of waxes of prime importance in lipsticks. It includes:
Oil mixture :- The oil mixtures are required to blend properly with
waxes to provides a suitable film on lips . It also acts as dispersing
agent for insoluble pigment, ideal. Example :- Castor oil , tetrahydrofurfuryl
alcohol & ester , paraffin oil , butyl stearate .
Bromo mixture :- Bromo mixture maintain the physical form of the formulation . 2-3% bromo acid
Are used. Example – Castor oil , butyl stearate
Mainly 2 type .
Red bromo acid :- It gives red or reddish blue stain.
 Orange , red bromo acid :- It gives pink to yellowish pink stain .
 color :- The color of lipstick is most important commercial and appealing view . The color is imparted
2 ways : by staining the skin with a solution of dyestuff which can penetrate the outer layer of lips skin .
or by covering lips with colored layer. Example : Flourescein , eosin
 Preservative :- This are used for prevention of growth of microbes , Example: methyl / propylparaben
Perfume:-This is used to mask the odour .
Surfactant:-This are used to promote wetting properties.
Antioxidant:-This are used to prevent rancidification .

9. Color grinding :- Pigments and dyes are available in amorphous
form so we have to convert into powder form.
ROLLER MILL & COLLOIDAL MILL equipments
are used for grinding purpose .
Milting & mixing :- AT first the raw materials like solvents ,
oils and wax material are melted in separate stainless steel container
• The solvents and oils are mixed with color pigment .
• Then the mixture is passed through roller mill grinding the pigment
to avoid grainy feel in lipstick .
• After the pigment mass is grounded and mixed it and add to hot wax until uniform color and consistency
is obtained.
Molding :- Once the lipstick mass is mixed and free of air it is
ready to be poured in tubes.
• The melted mass is dispensed into a mold which consist of bottom portion of
metal and a shaping tube . Lipstick is poured up side down so that bottom
of tube is at top of mold . And the excess material is scrapped out.
• The lipstick is cooled and separated from mold and bottom of tube is sealed .
• The lipstick is passed through flaming test to seal the pinholes and to give
finish to the product .
Labeling and packaging :- The lipstick is retracted the tube is capped . The lipstick is ready for
labeling and packaging and selling .

16. DEFFECTS
FORMULATION RELATED :
 Sweating:-It is caused due to high oil content or inferior oil binding . It may arise in any climate or
temperature range.
 Bleeding :- Separation of colored liquids from the wax base . It leads to extremely uneven color
distribution.
 Streaking :- A thin line or band of different color or substance appears to the surface of finished
products. Arise due to separation of suspended particle and expected to be caused due to titanium
dioxide.
SWEATING BLEEDING STREAKING

17. MOULDING RELATED :-
 Laddering :- Lipstick does not look smooth or homogenous .
 Deformation :- The shape of lipstick looks deforms . It is most noticeable in soft formulas.
 Catering :- This effect mostly found in split moulding . It show up in flaming when the stick develops
spots . The main cause is the presence of trace amount of silicon oil and machinery lubricant oil.

DEFORMATION

18. EVALUATION
Melting point :- This evaluation should be done to know the problems during handling and storage .
The melting point should generally be 55 – 75 degree Celsius .
Breaking point :- Breaking point of lipsticks should be evaluated for conforming strength of
lipsticks .
Force of application :- This evaluation is done to evaluate the value of force to apply to surface .
Stability :- Stability is an important evaluation parameter . Stability for long time and short time are
evaluated .
 Microbial growth test:- This evaluation is done to know the microbial growth . Contamination from
raw material , mould , storage kettles or lipstick container can be lead to microbial growth .
