Particle Characterization
Greetings from your friends at HORIBA Instruments!
Our 2008 Cosmetics newsletter includes invitations to attend our seminar in Houston, TX, our Camsizer course in Houston, TX, visit our new web page on cosmetics and download our new cosmetics applicaiton note.
Particle Characterization of Cosmetics
Many cosmetic products include particulate material or emulsions. Some examples of cosmetic products consisting of or including particulates include facial powders, moisturizers and lipstick. Particle size analysis of cosmetics is used to study formulation, characterize raw materials, perform quality tests on end product and to potentially determine the amount of nano-particles in a product.

Seminar in The Woodlands (Houston), Texas
HORIBA Instruments is hosting a free seminar on Thursday May 22 at the Holiday Inn Express in The Woodlands, TX. Topics covered include an overview of particle characterization, investigating colloidal dispersion, quality testing of glass beads used in highway paint, and chemical process applications with talks from both the vendor and end user perspective.
CAMSIZER Training
The first Camsizer users training course will be held Tuesday – Wednesday May 20-21 in The Woodlands, TX. Customers owning a Retsch Camsizer are invited to send one attendee to this training for a nominal fee of $100. The course will address Camsizer theory, data interpretation, software, and measurement techniques.
Cosmetics Conference
HORIBA will exhibit our particle characterization products at the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC) Suppliers’ Day May 13 – 14 at the NJ Convention and Expo Center at Raritan Center in Edison, NJ.
Effect of pH
In the cosmetics industry, it is said that beautiful skin is mildly acidic. Actually, healthy skin has a pH of around 5.5, which is, in fact, slightly acidic. Skin care products should naturally, then, have the same low acidity. As the leading manufacturer of pH meters, HORIBA has developed an array of pH meters since its founding. In pursuit of greater ease of use, our latest model is equipped with a large color LCD panel and a function to navigate operational procedures.
Masao Horiba Awards
The HORIBA Group invites young analytical scientists to apply for the 2008 Masao Horiba Awards. This award is intended to support researchers who are devoting themselves to the development of innovative technology in analysis and measurements. This year, the award focuses on the measurement and analytical technologies related to internal combustion engines used for mobility sources, especially vehicles, and the accompanying phenomena, emission and after-treatment systems.
Award winners will be chosen by a panel of judges and will receive a Certificate of Commendation, travel to and from Japan for the awards ceremony, a cash prize and research subsidy.
