Balm and stick

We offer texture analysis services for balm and lipstick products to support quality control, formulation development, and stability assessment. Texture plays a critical role in consumer perception and product performance, with hardness, firmness, and consistency influencing application, wear, and shelf-life. Our testing helps identify formulation effects, such as variations in wax content, and monitors texture changes due to temperature exposure during storage or transport.

We use modern texture analyzers to assess key properties such as hardness in balm and lipstick products. By applying a controlled force to penetrate the product to a defined depth, our method provides consistent and detailed measurements. In addition to evaluating structural strength, this approach can identify formulation issues like air entrapment or graininess, which may result from incomplete mixing or cooling processes. These findings support formulation development, improve process control, and help ensure uniform quality across production batches.

Turnaround time: 3 – 7 days
