Manufacturing problems affecting the industry today are identified, investigated and solved in this practical and engaging technical book. Take advantage of the 50 years of knowledge and experience the author has acquired working in and visiting cosmetic factories around the world, talking to production managers, cosmetic chemists and engineers about a variety of challenging manufacturing problems.
With energy costs expected to increase along with the continuing global warming trend, many large manufacturers of consumer products are already facing demands to reduce their energy consumption. Learn more about LEE to tackle energy issues and significantly reduce processing times.
The pressures and time constraints placed on cosmetic chemists have never been greater. Increased global competition, the ability to produce a wide range of products at a consistently high level of quality, increased batch sizes and manufacturing failures are fully addressed in this book. Discover how to control the quality and stability of emulsion products, optimize emulsion droplet size, understand composition variables and so much more.
This book educates and empowers, providing readers with the tools necessary to meet challenges head-on and manage everyday issues. Discover how to avoid formulating and manufacturing mistakes that have been made by others, in order to save time and expenses in your company. Explore the pages of this book to uncover the exciting and challenging area of emulsion science!
Expert Reviews
"Joe Lin has been teaching cosmetic chemists how to best formulate emulsions for many years. This book focuses on optimizing manufacturing of these products and teaches us many invaluable 'tricks.' I urge all people who are involved in the development or production of emulsions to read this book and learn from his wealth of knowledge."

"This is truly a long awaited book! Ever since the 1980 IFSCC Congress in Venice, when for the first time I read a scientific paper written by T. Joseph Lin, I have continued searching for his new studies on industrial emulsification techniques. His publications have been essential to my successive consulting carrier, when putting in practice his many findings provided me a way to solve the production troubles of customers around the world. My only surprise was that very few people seemed to have read Lin?s work. In my cosmetic courses, my students were always given this information as a precious gift. 'Less is Gain, More is Confusion,' is the motto that leads this book, which is as enchanting as an adventure tale, suggesting a path in the jungle of emulsion formulation strategy and production scaling-up. By reading this book, one recalls the many daily issues of the formulating scientists and technical directors: how to produce the same formula in the most simple and economic way, with the available equipment, by contemporarily saving costs and with a constant outcome of product performances. The Low Energy Emulsification technique is, in my opinion, the most brilliant finding I have read on production strategy, and is here explained in simple terms with even simpler types of demonstration, like particle size and conductivity studies—no complex mathematical formulae, only pragmatic approaches and intelligent reasoning. This book demonstrates how there is no need for complicated instruments, just a wise experimental strategy in order to solve scaling-up problems. It represents a good source of self-identification memories for the skilled reader, and a real valediction for all the technology people in cosmetic factories, where the formulation technology universe is unfolding."
