1. Introduction
Lipstick is part of cosmetics, which are requested biotechnology biotechnology and c hemical software together with mechanical engineering engineering hardware. Cosmetic is one of the profitable items for manufacturing and selling, since it is the necessity for the women more than 5 thousand years since ancient Egypt, queen of Patricia, and women of ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty. Since it is one of necessity for women makeup, the profit between manufacturing and sales are quite a big margin. Therefore, the businessmen and capital owner are interesting to enter the cosmetic manufacturing. Upon the shape and applications, cosmetics for lip are including lipstick, lip-balm and lip-pencil etc. that are similar in manufacturing. The differences of process are the mixture and container only. What we will introduce in this proposal are the standard manufacturing procedure, procedure, equipment and packaging, which is the typical model for the production line. Manufacturing process process of the lipstick can be defined as front end and back end. The former is processing as chemicals of biotechnology and the later is similar the pharmaceutical. Therefore, Therefore, the bacteria free concept and cleaning management management should be necessity for cosmetic i ndustries. The steps of front-end process are including power, paste and liquid measurement, mixing, grinding, and heating. Normally, cleaning room and bacteria free material and container will be provided. The steps of back-end are including the container cleaning, positioning, positioning, filling, molding, releasing, modifying and packaging. Of course, cleaning is also necessary if you will ensure the product stability to keep away from the bacterial contamination. In order to meet the worldwide multiple market requirement, we can arrange many choices of production line upon the buyer investment amount, among manual, semiautomatic or fully automatic. Of course, prescription service or turnkey basis are including in our scope of supply.
