High-End Cosmetics Industry: Why Even a Slight Temperature Variation Can Ruin Your Production

Climate Precision Is Essential to Preserving Cosmetic Product Quality

In the demanding world of high-end cosmetic production, every detail matters. But among all the factors influencing product stability, temperature plays a critical role. A shift of just a few degrees can alter the texture, color, or even the effectiveness of a cream or serum. At AirGreen, we understand what’s at stake — which is why we’ve developed a rigorous approach to commercial precision air conditioning for cosmetics companies in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore, and the North Shore.

Why Is Temperature So Crucial in the Cosmetics Industry?

Sensitive Raw Materials

The active ingredients in cosmetics — such as hyaluronic acids, peptides, essential oils, or natural extracts — are thermosensitive. This means that excessive heat or cold during formulation or storage can:

  • Alter their molecular structure

  • Reduce their effectiveness

  • Cause phase separation (in creams or emulsions)

  • Shorten the product’s shelf life

In cosmetic labs and production facilities, thermal stability is a hallmark of quality.

Strict Manufacturing Standards

Cosmetic manufacturing is governed by quality standards (like ISO 22716), which require strict environmental control. This includes:

  • A constant temperature, often between 20 and 24 °C

  • Controlled humidity

  • A filtered ventilation system limiting airborne contaminants

The Challenge: Maintaining These Conditions Without Interruption

The Limits of an Improperly Sized HVAC System

We’ve been called in to assist cosmetic production facilities in Montréal and on the South Shore, where traditional air conditioning systems were causing thermal fluctuations of several degrees, especially:

  • During shift changes

  • When restarting after weekend shutdowns

  • During thermal overloads caused by machinery or sunlight

These small but repeated temperature swings led to entire batches of costly products being lost.

AirGreen’s Solution: Precision Climate Control Tailored to Cosmetics

On-Site Technical Analysis

At AirGreen, every project begins with an in-depth analysis:

  • Mapping of heat zones

  • Study of internal heat loads (machinery, lighting, personnel)

  • Detection of air infiltration and heat leaks

  • Measurement of ambient humidity and airflow velocity

Selecting the Right Equipment

Based on the assessment, we recommend high-efficiency equipment with ultra-precise thermal tolerances, such as:

  • VRF heat pumps with continuous Inverter regulation

  • Multi-zone air conditioning systems with precision sensors

  • Air handling units with temperature and humidity control

  • Dual-redundancy systems to ensure uninterrupted operation

Real-world example: in a Longueuil plant specializing in bioactive serums, we installed a 36-ton Lennox VRF system with tenth-of-a-degree regulation. The result: zero product loss due to temperature instability.

Smart Monitoring and Real-Time Alerts

Every AirGreen installation includes a centralized management system (BMS) featuring:

  • Real-time display of temperature and humidity by zone

  • SMS/Email alerts when thresholds are exceeded

  • Historical data logs for quality audits

Additional Benefits: Comfort, Savings, and Compliance

Boosting Employee Productivity

A thermally stable environment also improves operator comfort, reducing fatigue and minimizing handling errors — a major advantage in packaging and assembly areas.

Energy Savings

Thanks to Inverter technology and smart zoning, our HVAC systems consume up to 30% less energy than traditional systems, while delivering superior temperature stability.

Easier Quality Compliance

Our systems are GMP-compliant, with full traceability of temperature data — making ISO audits and regulatory inspections simpler.

Common Errors We Frequently Correct

  1. Using residential HVAC systems in production: not designed for industrial precision requirements.

  2. Lack of cross-ventilation: leads to localized heat concentration.

  3. No humidity management: promotes mold or alters product consistency.

  4. Neglected maintenance: clogged filters, performance losses, and unexpected temperature swings.
