There are three basic ingredients in lipstick. We have best Lipstick Manufacturing plant in Kolkata, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand & all over India.

• Oil- Used in lipstick to provide texture, hardness and appealing shine to the finished product. Eg. Olive oil, Cocoa butter, Petrolatum, Castor oil etc.
• Waxes- Most important ingredient as it adds texture, shape and Integrity. Eg. Beeswax, Candelilla wax, and Carnauba wax
• Preservatives- Used to prevent the lipstick from becoming rancid as it contains mostly organic components.
• Pigments/Fragrance- Adds the necessary varieties of dye, odour and more texture that separates the lipsticks from each other.

LITCO’s standard Lipstick Mfg. Plant Model consists of the following:

• Wax Phase Kettle (Top Agitator)
• Manufacturing Vessel (Top Central Agitator & Bottom Emulsifier)
• Pigment/Solvent Vessel
• Roll Mill
• Vacuum System for Online Transfer
• In-line Homogenizer or Colloid Mill
• Plant Pipeline
• Automated Control Panel

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LIPSTICK MANUFACTURING PLANT

The Wax Phase Kettle at first is used to heat the oil up to a temperature where its texture becomes like a paste. The Wax after heating is added to the Manufacturing Vessel which is a jacketed vessel along with a Central Top Agitator and a bottom emulsifier. The Oil and Wax are mixed together and agitated under heating conditions till a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The Pigment, in the meantime, is grinded in a Roll Mill to get rid of the granules and produce a smooth powder. As per requirement the pigment is sometimes mixed with oil or alcohol in a separate vessel to produce a pigment solvent which is finally added to the Manufacturing Vessel. The solution is emulsified with the help of an In-line Homogenizer or Colloid Mill if required before the final lipstick is obtained. The hot lipstick solution is poured on moulds later to obtain them in desired shapes.
