A process for making granular solids involving: (a) providing a substantially
anhydrous
preparation, which is solid at room temperature and contain at least one cosmetic
feed material; (b) liquifying the substantially anhydrous preparation to form a
melt; (c) providing a vibrating casting plate used for droplet formation; (d) introducing
the melt onto the vibrating casting plate to form melt droplets thereon; (e) providing
a cooling medium; and (f) contacting the melt droplets with the cooling medium
which is passed countercurrently to the melt droplets, thus forming the granular
solids, and wherein the granular solids have a monodisperse particle size distribution
and are substantially free of particles having a diameter of less than 0.3 mm.
