Background

A company wanted to test cosmetic packed powders made by two of their sources. Their penetrometer studies were “all over the place” and their sensory panel results showed that the materials were not the same. Samples were tested on the TA.XTPlus model with a 25 kg capacity and a TA-53 3 mm stainless steel punch probe.
