How to Measure Particle Size of Cosmetics

Cosmetic products contain particles and emulsions that require special distributions for coverage and other desired results. Cosmetic products may also be affected by particle sizes for their appearance, stability, and protection value. The beauty and cosmetic industry rely on particle size and characterization analysis to develop products that meet regulated standards for quality.
