This study investigates the application of electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) sensing technology to evaluate the hardness of cosmetic creams. Traditional methods, like penetration resistance testing, can be intrusive and disrupt continuous monitoring by impacting internal structures. To overcome this limitation, a piezoelectric sensor is embedded in cosmetic creams to capture EMI signals. This experiment explores varying wax content levels in the creams, establishing correlations between conventional hardness values and EMI signals. The results demonstrate a positive relationship between wax content, hardness values, and the magnitude of EMI resonance peaks. This study emphasizes a robust correlation between established hardness metrics and EMI signals, showcasing the potential of non-destructive testing to drive advancements in cosmetic industry practices.
