As one of the world’s largest industries, cosmetics supply the global population with products ranging from soaps and shower creams to mascara and lipstick. At the heart of this industry are powerhouse factories and laboratories that combine the latest research and innovation with cutting-edge equipment to deliver quality beauty and cosmetic products.
For today’s post, Ability Fabricators will look at the most essential pieces of equipment every cosmetic laboratory or facility needs to ensure quality production. Whether starting out your laboratory for the first time, or deciding to upscale your production line even further, these items are a must-have for any successful cosmetics company.
Cabinets
A staple to any facility or lab, cabinets provide an immediate storage solution for all laboratory ingredients and smaller pieces of equipment.
Because cosmetic laboratories often operate in different temperatures and store many unique materials, cabinets need to be resistant to external temperature changes and help preserve items inside it. For this reason, we strongly recommend choosing stainless steel cabinets for your cosmetics lab as they provide superior temperature control.
Blenders
From V-Blenders to Bin Blenders, cosmetics can be made using a variety of mixing tools. Mixers/Blenders play a vital role in combining ingredients or chemicals to ensure a successful final product. They either use agitators or ribbons to encourage a heavy mixing or operate gently through tumbling motions to preserve product quality, such as a bin blender.
They are an important investment for any cosmetics laboratory and must be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination. Once again, Ability Fabricators highly recommends choosing stainless steel for your blender of choice. Stainless steel blenders are strong against heavy wear and tear and more importantly are supplemented by chromium, a thin protective layer that prevents rust, keeping your products free from hazardous contamination.
Containers
A key storage item, containers keep products such as oils, gels and make-up safely stored before and after manufacturing. Every laboratory and facility should prioritize maintaining perfect hygiene standards to avoid contamination and maintaining high product quality, and cabinets fabricated from materials such as stainless steel are highly recommended for achieving that.

Tanks
An even bigger upgrade to the container, tanks act as the ideal storage solution for companies that mass produce and need to transport their cosmetic goods. Whether liquid or solid, storage tanks are safest when made with stainless steel, which promotes easy cleaning and significant resistance against corrosive substances that could cause major wear-and-tear in other metals.
It is worth noting that stainless steel tanks are not as light nor as portable as containers. They also take up considerable space on a facility due to their size. For this reason, it is a wise decision to purchase your tanks custom-made to your specifications, based on your average unit production and the square footage of your manufacturing facility.

Kettles
Much of cosmetic production relies on experimenting with different temperatures to create the right consistency. For example, many wax and make-up products need substantial heat to remove unwanted air. This is where temperature-regulating vessels such as kettles are essential for consistently crafting quality products that will not let you, nor your consumers, down.
To get the best value for money for your kettle or any cosmetic-processing equipment, Ability Fabricators have found that purchasing these new ensures a much longer lifespan that uses preowned.
