Choosing the right pump for shampoo and body wash
There are many types of pumps available on the market. Therefore, when choosing the appropriate pump body structure for products such as shampoo and body wash, factors such as ease of use, the desired product dispensing method, and compatibility with the product formula need to be considered. This article will introduce three different pump body structures - lotion pump, foam pump, and vacuum pump, and discuss the key points for product adaptation for each pump body structure.
1.Lotion Pump: lotion pumps are commonly used to distribute liquid products such as hand sanitizer, shampoo, and body wash. They are usually equipped with a long immersion tube that can reach the bottom of the container, ensuring that the products can be fully dispensed. Lotion pumps are convenient to use, have controllable dispensing volume, and dispense approximately 2cc and 4cc per press. Therefore, they are popular choices for products that require a small amount of dispensing. When adapting products to lotion pumps, it is important to ensure that the product is in a liquid formulation that can be easily dispensed through the pump mechanism. If the liquid is thick and contains particles such as flakes, an external spring lotion pump should be chosen.
2.Foaming Pump: Foaming pumps are designed to generate rich and thick foam when the product is extruded. They are ideal for products that require foaming, such as foaming shampoo, facial cleanser, and body wash. Foaming pumps use a special mechanism to mix air with the product when it is extruded, forming a luxurious foam that is gentle and non-irritating to the skin. When adapting products to foaming pumps, it is important to use a formulation that is compatible with the foaming action and can form stable foam that does not separate or collapse.
3.Vacuum Pump: The unique feature of a vacuum pump is that it uses a vacuum seal to distribute the product. They are often used for products sensitive to air exposure, such as essences and emulsions. Vacuum pumps prevent air from entering the container, helping to maintain the freshness and efficacy of the product. When adjusting products for vacuum pumps, it is important to ensure that the formulation is stable and can be effectively dispensed through the vacuum mechanism.
In summary, when choosing the pump structure for shampoo and body wash products, factors such as ease of use, desired product dispensing method, and compatibility with the product formulation should be considered. No matter whether you choose a lotion pump, a foaming pump, or a vacuum pump, adjust the product accordingly to ensure optimal performance and user experience.
