As Austria’s largest manufacturer of solid cosmetics, we are constantly evolving \u2013 as are our textures. Previously firmly convinced, we are now… a little softer. More precisely: semi-solid. <\/p>\n

Thanks to an investment in modern plant technology, we are now offering hot filling<\/strong> as well. This expands our portfolio to include products such as deodorant sticks, lip care, anti-chafing sticks, and solid lotions<\/strong> \u2013 hot filled, sustainably packaged, and always with the highest quality standards. <\/p>\n

But what does hot filling actually mean \u2013 and why is it indispensable for many products in the cosmetics industry?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is how hot filling works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hot filling is a process in which the cosmetic mass is heated and directly filled into its packaging while in a liquid state. These are typically formulations that are solid at room temperature but become liquid or pasty when heated \u2013 making them ideal for solid deodorants, lip care, or solid lotions. <\/p>\n

Sounds technical? It is \u2013 but here\u2019s a quick look behind the scenes: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Heating<\/strong>: The finished cosmetic mass \u2013 for example, based on plant waxes, butters, and oils \u2013 is carefully heated to a specific temperature, ensuring it becomes evenly liquid.<\/li>\n
  2. Homogenizing<\/strong>: During the heating process, the mass is continuously stirred to ensure an even consistency and optimal distribution of all ingredients.<\/li>\n
  3. Filling<\/strong>: The liquid mass is directly and precisely filled into prepared packaging, such as stick forms or push-up paper tubes. The temperature and speed of the filling process are carefully coordinated to ensure quality and accuracy in filling. <\/li>\n
  4. Cooling and solidifying:<\/strong> After filling, the products cool under controlled conditions and take on their solid final form \u2013 ready for sale. A bit of chilling, so to speak \u2013 just without the lounge chair \ud83d\ude0a <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
