Sydney Beauty & Cosmetics

These are simple cosmetic formulas; they are homogenous mixtures made of soluble ingredients. Products include body wash, shampoos, hand cleansers, and colognes.

Some ingredients do not mix well, so they are added to a cream or emulsion. Cream products include hand moisturizers, hair conditioners, makeup, facial scrubs, and sunscreens.

Lotions are thinner versions of creams with the same formulation. They include Leave-in hair conditioners, facial moisturizers, and moisturizing cleansers.

Unlike creams and lotions, suspensions are clear liquids with tiny but visible suspended particles like inorganic minerals (such as titanium dioxide or gelatin beads). Products include hand washes, sunscreens, and shampoos.

These products are sticky and greasy, with no water in the mixture. They produce medicated skin products and some hairdressing products.

In this form of color cosmetics, solid raw materials are mixed ad blended into a fine powder. Ingredients in these products include silicates, talc, and starch. And end-products include foot powder and baby powder.

These thick liquids have shear-thinning properties (they remain thick until you apply a gentle force to make them flow). They contain a gelling agent such as natural gum, an acrylic polymer, or a cellulosic thickener. And they are used to make products such as body washes, hair, or shaving products.

Stick products deliver active ingredients by rubbing them on the skin. As the name suggests, cosmetic ingredients remain solid at room temperature, and products include underarm deodorants and lipsticks.

Aerosols are cosmetic formulations in a pressurized can that contains a cosmetic concentrate. They include fragrant sprays and body splashes.
Now that you know your cosmetics, you can shop for the products with the right active ingredients that suit your skin type.
