The precise measurement of consistency, hardness, spreadability, bending strength and powder compaction is critical in the development and quality control of cosmetics. Gel and cream consistency is measured using a back extrusion cell. The force required to extrude the sample is measured by the TA1 texture analyzer. Lipstick bending and cutting force, penetration test, consistency and eye pencil breaking are just a few of the test types you can perform when combining the TA1 texture analyzer with our grips and fixtures for cosmetics testing.
