The difference between powder cake and loose powder

The difference between powder cake and loose powder is: different shapes, different powder particles and different using techniques.

1, different shapes

Powder cake is a compressed solid, mostly round or square, which is a cosmetic made by pressing a mixture of powder and matrix; Loose powder does not contain oil, but is a fine powder made of powder raw materials.

2. Different powder particles

Loose powder is slightly more delicate than powder cake, which can make makeup thinner and more transparent; The powder cake is designed in the form of compressed dry powder, and the powder particles will be denser and have stronger hiding power.

3, the use process is different

Powder is generally used in the first step of makeup, and loose powder is generally used in the last step of makeup, but both can be used for makeup at any time.

There are two kinds of production technology of powder cake:

Wet method: firstly, the colored pigment and powder raw materials are ground and mixed evenly, then sieved, and then glue solution or emulsion and essence are added, fully mixed and sieved, and the obtained mixture particles are dried at room temperature or warm air. Finally, the product is pressed and put into a suitable packaging container.

Dry process is suitable for large-scale production, mainly because it needs more pressure.

The colored pigment is mixed and crushed in a mixer, then mixed with the matrix and essence dissolved and mixed in advance, mixed and colored, sprayed and added, and evenly mixed. Pulverizing the above materials with a pulverizer, sieving, and packaging.
