Over the last decade, soft gel capsules have become popular in the cosmetics and skincare industry. Hence, soft gel encapsulation machine manufacturers have seen a rising demand for them by different industry players. The soft gel encapsulation machines create soft gel capsules that contain anti-aging compounds, oils, serums, and other beneficial ingredients.
According to research reports, global cosmetics will likely hit USD 560.50 billion by 2030. The cosmetic soft gel capsules play a big part in this. Advancements in machine capabilities contribute to market expansion. Increased customization and flexibility in machine offerings allow manufacturers to cater to the specific needs of their customers.
In this article, I explain the types of soft gel beauty products and the benefits of using a soft gel encapsulation machine to produce them. You will also learn about the common ingredients for making soft gel cosmetics and skin care products and the machines available at Jangli Equipment.
Types Of Soft Gel Beauty Products

Cosmetic soft gels are available in various types depending on their composition and use. Manufacturers use the same soft gel encapsulating equipment to produce supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic soft gel. However, cosmetic soft gel capsules have different fill contents and require the adjustment of some critical components to deliver the desired results.
However, developing a cavity-size die roll set for cosmetic skincare soft gel requires a higher capacity due to the various types of cosmetics. The end product is full, beautiful, and has the desired shape.
There are different types of cosmetic soft gel capsules available in the market.
Cosmeceuticals
“Cosmeceuticals” refer to soft gel beauty products with medicinal or drug-like advantages in the cosmetics industry. A drug, a cosmetic, or both can be a cosmeceutical beauty product. However, the term “cosmeceutical” is not recognized by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (FD&C).
Cosmeceuticals contain bio-active plus plant extracts and botanical ingredients that do the following:
- Treatment of skin challenges such as redness, dryness, age-related changes, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and acne.
- To stimulate the formation of collagen.
- Shield skin from environmental damage.
Most people refer to them as a less expensive alternative to cosmetic surgery.
Natural Ingredients Soft Gel Cosmetic Capsules
Natural Ingredients Soft Gel Cosmetic Capsules
Most individuals prefer using beauty products with natural components. Then, some prefer not to use products made from animals. That has been made possible by the soft gel encapsulation machinery. There is a vegetable-based alternative for those who choose not to use the more traditional soft gel capsule made of animal gelatin.
Nowadays, the most widely used vegetable gelatin in most sectors is starch. There are two types of starch: tapioca starch and pea starch. Tapioca starch is strong and can make the shell of the vegetable-based soft gel capsules alone. But pea starch is not strong enough and therefore needs carrageenan for extra viscosity and gelling properties.
In our YouTube channel, you see a demonstration of a vege-based soft gel.
Dermatological Soft Gel Capsules
They are applied to treat various skin conditions. Dermatological soft gel capsules improve the brightness and radiance of your skin. They accomplish this by lessening the harmful effects of free radicals and assisting the skin’s defense mechanisms against oxidative stress.
Isotretinoin Softgel Capsules are an example of a dermatological soft gel capsule. It is a member of the retinoids family of drugs used to treat severe acne. When all other forms of treatment have failed, an Isotretinoin soft gel capsule is a good option. However, you must only use it as per your doctor’s advice.
Customized Cosmetics Soft Gel Capsules
Soft gel capsules have the advantage of being adaptable for different uses. As a result, you can customize them to meet your supply specifications. Our designer team at Jangli Equipment can modify the soft gel die roll set to get you the ideal cavity setup.

What Ingredients Are Common In Soft Gel Beauty Products?

Silicone oil is a main ingredient in cosmetic soft gel capsules and acts as a skin conditioner. Since the 1950s, silicone oils have been a common ingredient in skincare products. Silicone has good spreading properties. Consequently, the soft gel capsules’ other cosmetic elements function better.
The soft gel die roll set cavity’s well-proportioned design is most frequently used with animal gelatin. At room temperature, the capsules are easy to twist off. However, the freezing temperatures make the animal gelation element hard in some regions. The capsules will be difficult to twist off.
Vegetable cosmetic soft gel capsules are a better choice in these cold regions. Vegetable cosmetic soft gels are simple to twist off regardless of temperature. Carrageenan, a plant seaweed extract, is used to make veggie caps.
Other cosmetic soft gel capsule ingredients include purified water, glycerin, liquid paraffin, and vitamin E. Some of the cosmetic soft gel capsules also contain fish and borage oils.
You can mix soft gels with fillers and acids to produce wrinkle-fill serums. Cosmetic soft gels make excellent stick-based creams and massage oils. They also work well for delivering soft ingredients (retinol, alpha hydroxy acids).
Soft Gel Encapsulation Machines In Production Of Soft Gel Cosmetic Products?

How To Choose The Perfect Soft Gel Encapsulation Machine
You should consider a soft gel encapsulation machine’s technical specifications before buying. After all, they control the machine’s overall performance. Let’s examine some of the most critical technical specifications.
- Capacity: Soft gel encapsulation machines vary in capacity. As a result, you must first decide how many capsules you wish to produce. Next, divide by the number of working days. You are then able to determine the soft gel machine’s maximum capacity.
- Shape of soft gels: It describes the layout of soft gel capsules produced by encapsulation machines. The most common shapes are round, oblong, oval, and tube. The shape of the gelation capsules is determined by the exterior fill, which is also the capsule shell.
- Speed of the machine: It specifies how many soft gel capsules a machine can produce in a certain amount of time. We can customize the soft gel machine’s speed depending on your needs.
- Control mechanism: Buying a machine with an easy-to-use control system is advisable. By doing this way, you can prevent errors in the process. Choose a machine with a HMI control panel.
- Power consumption: Soft gel encapsulating machines require a lot of electricity. Therefore, it is advised to choose a machine of energy-efficient materials. Before buying, check the soft gel encapsulation machine’s power consumption rate.
- Size and dimensions of the machine: Soft gel encapsulation machines come in small, medium, and large sizes. Your ideal size will depend on your production capacity and available space.
