The main purpose of lotion is to protect and moisturize the skin. There are many types such as body cream, hand cream, and lip cream but all are basically composed of some kind of oil, such as mineral oil or Vaseline, water, an emulsifier in order to mix the two, a moisturizing agent, and fragrance. There are differences in texture depending on the balance of the combined ingredients, anything from a lotion that is light and absorbs quickly to thicker deep moisturizing creams. Texture is an important factor in choosing a hand cream and many consumers choose based on the season or even their mood.

Customer comments
The customer’s company produces many types of hand lotions and body creams. The customer does not only use the VISCO™ for quality purposes but to test samples from products returned as defective or in the case of a user dispute. Due to the fact that the customer has users all over the world, the products are exposed to many different climates and temperatures. The consistency of the products can change due to climate. The company makes a wide range of lotions from very high to low viscosity. Products of the highest and lowest viscosity were the hardest to get a stable measurement. But since using the VISCO, the customer has been able to go stable results despite the viscosity of the product.
