Why The World's Leading Cosmetics Companies are Using RAM as Their Go To Cosmetics Mixer
17 Reasons Why Cosmetics Companies Choose RAM for Blending Make Up, Powders, Lotions, Creams, Lipsticks, Mascara and So Much More!
Resonant acoustic mixers (RAM) are top rated industrial cosmetics mixers for low shear mixing. They are essential cosmetics manufacturing and processing equipment used for a wide variety of purposes. RAM Mixers ensure the highest-quality cosmetic products available for the mixing and blending of beauty products of all types.
RAM's cosmetics mixer machines are used to combine ingredients efficiently, ensuring unbeatable uniformity and long lasting stability in formulas. Here are 17 big benefits in which Resodyn's bench top mixers are used with incredible success in the cosmetics industry:
1. Emulsion Formation
Many cosmetic products, such as creams, lotions, and moisturizers, are emulsions (mixtures of oil and water). RAM mixers are used to combine these ingredients into stable emulsions by reducing the size of oil droplets, preventing separation.
2. Blending Powders and Pigments
In products like foundation, eyeshadow, or other color cosmetics, powder ingredients (e.g., pigments, powders, minerals) need to be mixed thoroughly to ensure consistency in color and texture. RAM mixers are ideal with gentle blending powders action used to achieve an even distribution without damaging the delicate powders.
3. Viscosity Control
The texture and viscosity of many cosmetics, such as gels, serums, or hair care products, need to be controlled precisely. RAM mixers are used as a primary cosmetics mixer to achieve the desired consistency, ensuring smoothness and the right application characteristics.
4. Formulation of Creams and Lotions
Creams and lotions are typically thick mixtures, often requiring emulsifiers and stabilizers. RAM mixers facilitate the creation of smooth, homogeneous products by carefully controlling temperature and mixing speeds, allowing for uniform distribution of all ingredients.
5. Blending Active Ingredients
Active ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, and botanicals are incorporated into formulations like skin creams and serums. These ingredients must be uniformly mixed without degrading or losing their potency. RAM mixers are essential at ensuring that these active compounds are effectively blended into the base formula and blends with low shear as to not destroy any sensitive materials.
6. Dispersion of Ingredients
Ingredients such as fragrances, essential oils, or silicone derivatives are often difficult to disperse evenly due to their varying properties. Acoustic mixers help disperse such substances uniformly within the formula, ensuring consistency and the desired sensory characteristics.
7. Batch Mixing Production
Cosmetics are often produced in batches, with industrial mixers designed to handle large volumes of ingredients efficiently. These cosmetic mixers are optimized for scalability and repeatability, ensuring that each batch meets the same quality standards.
8. Heat and Cooling Processes
Many cosmetics formulations require heating or cooling during the production process, such as when melting waxes or cooling down thick creams. Resodyn's mixers can be equipped with jackets for heating or cooling and ensure even temperature distribution, which is crucial for achieving the desired texture and stability of the final product.
9. Stabilization and Shelf Life Extension
Stability testing is a critical aspect of cosmetics production, as the final product must maintain its texture, color, and scent over time. RAM mixers help in ensuring ingredients are mixed evenly, contributing to the stability and extended shelf life of the product by preventing phase separation or clumping.
10. Spray Drying (for Powder Cosmetics)
For powdered products like dry shampoos, face powders, or blushes, industrial mixers are part of the spray-drying process, where a liquid formula is turned into a fine powder. These mixers ensure that the liquid formulation is suitable for spraying and that the end product has the desired texture and consistency.
11. HIGHLY Improved Product Quality
Homogeneity and stability: Cosmetics require highly uniform blends (lotions, creams, serums, powders, foundations). RAM's non-contact, high energy mixing ensures even distribution of pigments actives and fillers.
No trapped air: The acoustic mixing environment reduces aeration, improving product texture and shelf life.
12. Gentle on Sensitive Ingredients
Many cosmetic actives (vitamins, peptides, fragrances, botanical extracts) are heat- or shear-sensitive. Traditional blade mixers can degrade them.
RAM is bladeless and non-contact, so it preserves ingredient integrity
13. Versatility Across Formulations
Handles powders, liquids, gels, emulsions, suspensions—all common in cosmetics.
Effective at dispersing nanoparticles, pigments, and difficult-to-wet powders (like titanium dioxide or iron oxides in sunscreens and makeup).
14. 10x to 100x Faster Cosmetic Processing Times
RAM often mixes in seconds to minutes compared to hours with conventional methods.
This increases throughput, reduces bottlenecks, and lowers production costs.
15. Scalable Mixing from Benchtop to Pilot to Full Production
RAM technology scales from lab R&D mixers to full production systems, making it ideal for cosmetic companies that move from small-batch formulation to mass production.
16. SIGNIFCANTLY Reduced Cleaning & Maintenance
Since there are no blades or impellers, cleaning is simpler and cross-contamination risks are minimized—important for cosmetics with diverse product lines.
17. Sustainability Benefits
Shorter mixing cycles and reduced energy use support environmentally friendly manufacturing practices, a growing priority in the cosmetics industry.
In short, cosmetic companies all over the world use RAM mixers for cosmetics because it gives them faster, cleaner, and higher-quality mixing, while protecting delicate ingredients and enabling innovative formulations.
In short, Resodyn's acoustic mixers are crucial for cosmetics mixing because they ensure the efficient, consistent, and safe blending of expensive ingredients to produce the very best possible end product!
