1. Maximum Product Recovery
Pigging systems recover up to 99.5% of product from pipelines—perfect for high-value items like lotions, creams, shampoos, serums, and gels. This reduces product loss and increases profit margins.
2. Faster Product Changeovers
Switching between product types, formulations, or fragrances is faster and more efficient with pigging, leading to reduced downtime and higher production output.
3. Reduced Cross-Contamination
Pigging thoroughly clears out previous batches, preventing mixing of scents, colors, or active ingredients, which is essential for maintaining product integrity and brand consistency.
4. Lower Cleaning and Disposal Costs
Since the product is nearly fully recovered before cleaning, less water and fewer cleaning agents are needed—leading to cost savings and reduced wastewater disposal.
5. Improved Sustainability
With less product waste, lower chemical use, and reduced rinse water, pigging helps self-care and beauty manufacturers minimize their environmental footprint.
“Natural” doesn’t always mean safer—certified preservatives and well-tested synthetic actives can be more stable and non‑irritating than poorly sourced natural oils.
Look for fragrance‑free, hypoallergenic, non‑comedogenic, and dermatologist‑tested labels; check for irritants via trusted reviews or patch tests.
Common preservatives like phenoxyethanol, parabens, benzyl alcohol, and organic acids are safe within regulated limits set by authorities like FDA or EU panels.
Most have a symbol indicating PAO (e.g., 6M, 12M) which tells you how many months the product remains stable after opening.
Check for expiration date, batch number, certification seals (e.g., ECOCERT), and full ingredient lists to assess transparency and safety.
