Cosmetics Silicone Hose | Cream, Serum & Lotion Transfer | FDA Compliant | Rekky
Creams, serums, lotions & fragrance transfer
Industry Overview
Cosmetics manufacturing demands the same level of purity as food and pharmaceutical production — with the added challenge of preserving delicate fragrance profiles and maintaining product stability. Creams, serums, lotions, and liquid formulations can be compromised by tubing that imparts odor, leaches plasticizers, or harbors bacteria between batches.
Rekky Technology’s platinum-cured silicone hoses are the ideal solution for cosmetics fluid transfer. The zero-odor, zero-taste properties ensure that your product’s carefully crafted fragrance and flavor profile remains intact from formulation through filling. The smooth, non-stick inner surface prevents product buildup — critical for viscous creams and emulsions that can cling to rough surfaces and create bacterial harborage points.
Our tubing is fully compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Steam-in-Place) protocols, allowing rapid color and formula changeovers without lengthy cleaning cycles. The wide temperature range (-40°C to +220°C) accommodates both hot-fill operations and cold-storage transfer.
For multi-product facilities, our Color-Coded Silicone Tubing provides instant visual identification of product lines — eliminating costly cross-contamination mistakes and simplifying changeover procedures.

Key Applications
Cream & Lotion Transfer
Viscous creams and lotions require smooth-bore tubing to prevent product buildup and ensure complete drainage. Our ultra-smooth platinum-cured tubing (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) allows viscous products to flow freely without sticking to the walls, while the CIP-compatible surface ensures thorough cleaning between batches.
Serum & Essence Filling
High-value serums and essences demand tubing that will not adsorb active ingredients or alter product stability. Our low-extractables platinum-cured silicone is chemically inert to common cosmetic ingredients including hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, and peptide complexes.
Fragrance & Essential Oil Handling
Fragrances and essential oils are highly volatile and can be degraded by reactive tubing materials. Our platinum-cured silicone is resistant to aromatic compounds and will not impart any foreign odor — preserving the integrity of your product’s scent profile.
Color Changeover
Cosmetics facilities frequently switch between different colored products (foundations, tinted moisturizers). Our Color-Coded Silicone Tubing allows instant visual identification of product lines, while the smooth surface enables rapid CIP cleaning between color changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Our platinum-cured silicone is specifically formulated for zero odor and zero taste migration. We have validated this with multiple cosmetics manufacturers for fragrance-sensitive products including perfumes and essential oil formulations.
Yes. The ultra-smooth inner surface (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) prevents product adhesion, and the wide ID range (up to 150 mm) accommodates even highly viscous products. For very viscous materials, we recommend our braided or wire-reinforced hoses to prevent kinking.
Yes. We offer 12 standard colors plus Pantone matching for OEM orders. Colors are fully dispersed in the silicone matrix (not surface-coated) and will not flake or migrate into product.
