Dropping point and slip melting point are the thermal parameters most frequently used to assess the quality of raw materials as well as finished cosmetic products of waxy nature. For cosmetics such as lipstick, foundation or mascara, these measurements provide valuable information about the thermal behavior and consistency of the sample, ensuring an invariant quality at all times.
Read our guide to learn more about the above parameters, how they are used, what the relevant standards in the industry are, and how to properly measure lipstick and other samples.
