Moisture in Cosmetics Analyzers

Cosmetics companies rely on moisture analyzers to determine the water content in their products. By accurately measuring moisture levels, manufacturers can ensure the stability, quality, and performance of their cosmetics.

Which equipment is used for moisture testing?

  • Karl Fischer Titration: This method involves chemically reacting a sample with iodine. The amount of iodine consumed is proportional to the moisture content.
  • Loss on Drying (LOD): This technique dries a sample at a specific temperature and determines the weight loss due to moisture evaporation.
  • Hygrometry: This method measures the dew point or relative humidity of a sample to determine its moisture content.

The choice of moisture analyzer depends on factors such as sample type, accuracy requirements, and desired turnaround time. These analyzers are essential tools for the cosmetics industry, providing reliable and accurate moisture measurements to ensure product quality and safety.
