Cosmetic Raw Materials

Cosmetics are compound mixtures made from various raw materials after proper blending and processing. There are many types of cosmetics with different properties. According to the raw material properties and uses of cosmetics, there are two categories available: base raw materials and auxiliary raw materials. The former is a primary raw material of cosmetics, which occupies a large proportion in cosmetic formulations, and is the primary functional substance in cosmetics. The latter is responsible for shaping, stabilizing, or imparting color, fragrance, and other characteristics to cosmetics. Cosmetic formulations don’t use in large amounts of these substances, but they are vital. Cosmetics are chemical mixtures made of natural, synthetic, or extracted substances with different functions as raw materials and processed through production processes such as heating, stirring, and emulsification.
