Cold manufacturing – manufacturing process

Cold formulation of cosmetics. While the vast majority of the cosmetic world formulates “hot”, cold formulation appears as an alternative that allows products to be formulated without a heating phase. This manufacturing technique allows us to preserve all the nutrients naturally occurring in the raw materials, which are of great benefit to the skin.

In addition, energy consumption in the production of cosmetic products is reduced and limited. Most creams available on the market are emulsions made using the hot manufacturing process. They are created by the merger of an aqueous phase and a fat phase, which coexist thanks to an emulsifier.

During the hot manufacturing process, both phases are heated to high temperatures between 60 and 85 °C for many hours, which has a detrimental effect on the active ingredients such as native vegetable oils, which are oxidized during the process.

This step is essential to melt the solid components and emulsify the two phases. This formulation habit has been around since the beginning of time, but in the age of purely herbal products it has become obsolete for us and we can combine quality with effectiveness.

Cold formulation is a formulation process that allows you to create a cosmetic emulsion without having to go through a heating phase, using a special emulsifier so that the emulsion “holds”. The different phases are therefore mixed at room temperature without there being an increase in temperature. This is a complex manufacturing process that requires more precision and more manufacturing time. It also requires a more precise selection of raw materials and, in particular, components of the fat phase. The principle of these manufacturing techniques is to respect the ingredients and raw materials without altering their composition (vitamins, nutrients and other active ingredients) naturally present in the raw material in order to make the most of the multiple benefits they offer to our body and for the skin.

The ingredients are not heated and the benefits are many. Some even speak of “living cosmetics” to describe these new generation treatments that conserve raw materials and offer the best of nature in its raw state. As with food, the heating of oils when producing emulsions affects their composition and, in particular, their nutritional richness.

So many good elements that the skin cannot benefit from. In addition, a heating phase accelerates the oxidation process of oils, which is responsible for their rancidity, which represents one of the main difficulties in the formulation of natural cosmetic products rich in vegetable oils.

However, in addition to the oils used in the formulations, some active ingredients are very heat sensitive, meaning they are attacked by heat. This applies in particular to vitamin C, but more generally to all antioxidants, which are so sought after in cosmetics for their preventive effect against the appearance of signs of aging. These antioxidants are extremely sensitive to heat and temperature fluctuations, which is why they quickly lose their activity and therefore their usefulness when exposed to a period of heating or thermal shock.

This means that all active ingredients remain raw and alive in order to generously give the skin back its effect. The production of these products requires more know-how and sensitivity, as well as a more rigorous selection of raw materials before production to ensure that the fat phase is liquid and perfectly homogeneous with the formulation.

However, this does not change anything for consumers, except that they benefit from cosmetics that are rich in active ingredients, nutrients and vitamins: nature in its purest form. The service life is also not affected, as it depends on the preservation system chosen and not on the emulsion process. In terms of regulations, there is only one regulation on cosmetics, which applies to all products marketed on European territory. The manufacturing process in no way exempts the formulated products from regulatory requirements, which, as we remember, are among the most important and strict in the world.

Therefore, cold formulated products must pass various tests for stability, safety, challenge, etc. before they can be marketed. Another major advantage is that cold formulation requires less energy, thus reducing the overall environmental impact of the manufacturing process. Emulsifiers of 100% natural origin, which allow the production of cold emulsions, are rare and unprecedented in this very technical manufacturing process. This allows us to be as close as possible to nature and its benefits when producing cosmetic products.

This 100% natural approach makes the formulation process even more complex and requires an even more drastic selection of raw materials used in the composition of cosmetic products. However, it is even more sensible to use a natural emulsifier for cold formulation to provide consumers with all the benefits of the raw materials used in the composition of skin care products.

100% efficiency, with 100% nature.

We in this industry only use this process very few times because it is more delicate to implement and requires special knowledge that not all manufacturers have mastered. This formulation process requires a drastic selection of the raw materials used and in particular it is necessary to exclude the components of the fat phase that tend to solidify (butter, waxes and other oils), which is restrictive and would force manufacturers to revise formulas that allow cold production.

After all, cold emulsifiers of natural origin are more expensive to purchase than so-called classic emulsifiers.
