packaging-of-cosmetics-packaging-and-packaging

In the present work I first try to give the basic product definitions, the types of products to be analyzed, describing the type of packaging used by 6 line products.

In the end, we made proposals for improvement to them, which was difficult for us, since obviously these products have been subjected to strict design quality control by large corporations.

COSMETICS

1. CONCEPT

Cosmetics is a general term that is applied to all preparations and items for external use to condition and beautify the body, cleaning, coloring, softening or protecting the skin, hair, nails, lips or eyes.

The use of cosmetics and perfumes is not limited to women, as might be supposed. The preparations used by men include powders, colognes, lotions (especially those containing alcohol for post-shave application), hair tonics, based on quinine or alcohol, and deodorants.

The annual sales of beauty products for men and women make this industry have an important development today and it is very profitable.

PRODUCTION

At each stage of production, measures must be conceived and effectively carried out to guarantee the safety of use of the product. A piece of equipment, an instrument, a raw material, a packaging material, a cleaning product, or a document should be identifiable at all times.

Any substance other than a raw material or bulk product must not and cannot be collected with the aforementioned items, in order to avoid contamination.

Companies may carry out production operations in their own plant or go to third parties.

Processing instructions must be available at the beginning of the process. Before starting a new process, it must be checked that the machinery is clean and in good operating condition. On the other hand, there must be no elements belonging to previous processes.Each product to be manufactured must be identified so that at each stage of the process, each operator can find the reference to carry out the necessary controls. Unique formula with an operating mode for a specific quantity and machine associated with it. It is important to specify data and conditions for:
- Machinery necessary to manufacture, Unique formula. Batch size. List of intervening raw materials with batch number and heavy quantity. Detailed operating mode: aggregate sequences, temperature, stirring speeds, times, transfer process, among others.
In filling and packaging operations:
- Preparation: consists of identifying the packing and bulk materials Filling and packing: before starting, the correct cleaning of the equipment must be checked, as well as the absence of materials corresponding to the previous filling and packing.

QUALITY GUARANTEE

Quality Control Operations

Quality control operations are understood as all those operations that are carried out during manufacturing with a view to monitoring compliance with quality.

It is the responsibility of the laboratory personnel to control the goods received, as well as the control of the finished products. It is the responsibility of the manufacturing personnel, the control in the process. Both laboratories and manufacturing personnel must have the Next information:
- Sampling procedure Inspection and testing methods Acceptance limits
Regarding manufacturing, controls such as the following should be carried out:

Exceptions may be considered for related products, with prior authorization from the competent health authority. Drains must be of an adequate size and be directly connected to the drainage ducts, preventing backsiphoning with the necessary elements. In addition, drains must be adequately protected, especially those located in manufacturing areas. Adequate waste management must be guaranteed in accordance with environmental control standards. Both changing rooms and bathrooms must be installed near work areas., conveniently separated from manufacturing areas. They will be exclusively intended for the cleaning and change of clothing of the staff.They will be adequately ventilated and equipped with the necessary services. All areas where there is a danger of contamination by contact or projection of liquids, must have shower facilities and eyewash basins, for the immediate treatment of personnel accidents, depending on the degree of contamination. Production areas are susceptible to two main groups:
- Black Zones: entrance and reception rooms, changing rooms and bathrooms, maintenance workshops, dining room, warehouses and offices. Gray Zones: Manufacturing and packaging areas.

Such qualification is established for the purpose of taking extreme precautions to avoid product contamination, with gray areas being the most demanding in the application of health risk reduction measures.
