Cosmetic Equipment - The Ultimate List

To make great cosmetic products, you are going to need some cosmetic equipment.

You don't have to be a cosmetic chemist to formulate the best product - but if you are one, that's a bonus!

All you need is a basic understanding on how to make emulsion and the right cosmetic equipment!

If you are a beginner, I suggest you start by using small scale and affordable ones first.

Then, as you gain more customers, you can then invest on bigger scale equipment.

*Please note that you may not need to buy everything that I mention below. If you already own some things, then use what you have! 

You can reuse old jam jars to store your emulsion.
