Rich Skin Feel Cream Emulsion System Ester Oil Structured Formula
The resurgence of plump skin feeling: Are consumers beginning to get tired of “extremely lightweight skin care”? 1. A Shift in Texture Preference Is Emerging Lightweight texture, fast absorption in seconds, oil-free formula, and hydrogel touch are the mainstream standards.Whether it is a popular skin care line or a cutting-edge efficacy brand, they are constantly streamlining the formula and weakening the presence of the cream, striving to create a skin care product that is refreshing, zero burden, and not stuffy on the face. The ultimate lightweight has become the core standard for judging the superior skin feeling of the product. In the past two years, there have been intuitive structural changes in the market. Some consumer groups are more concerned about the sensory experience, and prefer skin care products with a more existential texture, a more solid moisturizing feeling, and a fuller skin care experience. 2. What “Rich Texture” Really Means Technically Many people have cognitive misunderstandings about the feeling of plump skin, thinking that the plump texture is simply to increase the oil content and make the product thicker.In fact, the core technical logic of the new generation of rejuvenating rich texture is a structured rheological system with a controllable demulsification and spreading system, relying on precise formula structure regulation to achieve a high-level skin feeling that is moist but not oily, plump and not stuffy, which is fundamentally different from traditional heavy and greasy face creams. 2.1 Structured viscosity The high-quality rich skin care formula has a stable yield stress system. The cream has a complete shape and full texture in the standing state. It is clean and does not procrastinate. It can be easily extended and pushed away during the application process. The fluidity is moderate, and there will be no problems of agglomeration, rubbing mud, and face-covering.This kind of system is built on a stable emulsifying and thickening framework. trihydroxystearin is often used to optimize the viscoelasticity of the system, so that the cream has both a sense of shaping and ductility, and creates a solid and smooth basic skin feeling. 2.2 Cushion effect The new generation of rich texture has unique shear and slow-release characteristics, which will slowly deform under the shear force of hand massage, fitting the surface of the skin, bringing a soft and elastic cushioning touch.Different from the instantaneous spreading of lightweight formulas, this slow-release effect can extend the skin care contact time, make the ingredients more evenly attached, and at the same time bring a healing skin care experience.Relying on the high-quality Water in oil emulsifier, the oil-water interface structure can further strengthen the cushioning touch and make the moisturizing feeling softer and more uniform. 2.3 Controlled breakdown The mature rich formula has the ability to change dynamic texture. After applying on the face, it will gradually transform from a dense and thick cream to an emulsion texture, and finally form a light and moisturizing essence film. There will be no oily surface, sticky and stuffy skin.This kind of controllable structural crushing and spreading effect is the core key to achieving a balance of richness and freshness. 3. What Product Categories Are Driving This Trend In this round of rejuvenation of the skin, the core is dominated by the polyglyceride and polyhydroxystearate systems, which are widely used in high-end nourishing skin care products. Among them, PEOFA™ MY987 (polyglyceryl-2 tetraoleate) is the core W/O emulsified raw material, pure palm oil plant source, gentle in nature and suitable for all skin types.The HLB value of the raw material is 3, the emulsifying ability is strong, it can efficiently emulsify high-polar oils and fats, and at the same time it has excellent powder dispersion. The biggest advantage is that it can be used alone as the main emulsifier without complex compounding.The liquid form at room temperature also makes production and deployment more convenient. A conventional addition of 1%-5% can create a full paste with delicate appearance, high gloss and stable system. Another core raw material, PEOFA™ MY989 (polyglyceryl-4 isostearate), is also a high-quality w/o main emulsifier of plant origin, with excellent compatibility and outstanding thermal stability.The formula cream with this raw material is bright and fair, and it is not easy to layer and thin under high temperature environment. It is often used in combination with raw materials such as MY986. The addition of 2.5%-4% can stably create a rich skin care system with advanced texture.With the adapted Emulsifier makeup system ratio, it can further balance the moisturizing and refreshing properties of the cream, and adapt to the needs of more skin types. The whole system relies on the structured oil phase and slow-release moisturizing properties to create a unique skin feeling that is full, soft and waxy, moist but not greasy. The core is suitable for night repair creams, high-moisturizing nourishing creams, high-end luxury care creams and other categories, accurately undertake consumers' skin care needs for deep nourishment and barrier repair. 4. How the Full System Works The core of the rich texture system is a multiphase structured emulsion system built on controllable rheology and interface architecture. Through multi-dimensional formula regulation, it realizes an all-round upgrade of skin texture, stability and efficacy. The complete set of mature system relies on the synergy of four core modules: · The layered network structure is responsible for building a long-lasting moisturizing framework to lock in skin moisture and improve dryness and dehydration. · Refined ester oils provide sufficient sensory moisturizing and enhance the soft and waxy texture of application. · The rheological control system stabilizes the structural integrity of the paste to avoid loose texture and long-term deterioration. · The composite emulsifying system stabilizes the oil-water interface to ensure the long-term stability of the formula. At the same time, it cooperates with the professional thickening suspension control scheme to accurately control the consistency of the paste to achieve the optimal state of plump, not heavy, full and not sticky. 5. Key Insight Consumers' needs have become more rational and diverse, and they are no longer sought after individually, but flexibly choose textures according to seasons, skin types, and skin care scenarios.It needs refreshing, breathable, lightweight protection during the day, and plump and plump deep repair at night. The need for skin texture stratification has become a new trend in the industry.The future research and development of skin care products will eventually achieve the perfect balance between functional elegance and controllable abundance.

Liquid Crystal Moisturizing Cream Emulsion System Analysis
Oil-in-water (O/W) liquid crystal structure moisturizing cream formula, the entire formula adopts an integrated phase separation feeding process, the ratio of each raw material is added after the skin feeling, high and low temperature stability is measured, the finished product can form a liquid crystal film highly similar to the lipid structure of the stratum corneum, light and smooth to apply, moisturizing but not sticky to the hands, the skin is soft and delicate after absorption, it is a mature solution suitable for the daily maintenance of stability and moisturizing of all skin types, and it also provides a complete reference for skin care brands to create gentle and repairing creams that can be directly mass-produced. LCD moisturizing system research and development background The stratum corneum on the surface of the skin relies on the lipid bimolecular layer to lock in internal moisture. Once the lipid is damaged, the moisture will be lost quickly, and problems such as dryness, peeling, and sensitive redness will follow.Ordinary moisturizing creams simply mix moisture with oil, cannot simulate the skin's original lipid structure, and have limited water-locking ability.To construct a liquid crystal structure, the core lies in the selection of liquid crystal-type emulsified raw materials of natural origin, with suitable lightweight emollient oils and mild stabilizing additives, which can stably form a continuous liquid crystal film. However, the threshold for debugging the formula of the liquid crystal system is not low. The procurement cost of similar imported liquid crystal emulsified raw materials on the market is high, and the compounding compatibility is poor, which is prone to problems such as paste layering, rough texture, and whitening.At the same time, many emollient oils are heavy and blocked, which will destroy the breathable structure of the liquid crystal film and make the product lose its refreshing feeling of use.The liquid crystal moisturizing cream formula developed by Mingya this time uses three raw materials, Cetearyl olivate/Sorbitan olivate, Ethylhexyl palmitate, and Beheneth-25, as the core skeleton, relying on natural liquid crystal emulsification with light and soft oils, to solve the industry pain points of high cost of liquid crystal system, heavy skin feeling, and unstable system from the raw material level. As a mature oil in water emulsifier application solution, the complete formula does not need to be complicated with a variety of emulsifying additives, the process is simple and easy to operate, and it is highly adaptable to production equipment. Formula analysis 1. VEGEFIERS™MY CSO 99 (cetearyl olivate/sorbitan olivate) Additive 3% This raw material is the core of the entire formula, and it is also a liquid crystal type nonionic emulsifier of natural origin. It is directly benchmarked with imported Olivem 1000 to achieve 1:1 performance substitution, with outstanding cost-effective advantages.It can spontaneously form a delicate and regular liquid crystal film structure during the mixing of oil and water. The film is highly similar to the lipid bimolecular structure of the human stratum corneum. After being applied to the skin, it can firmly lock in the moisture of the epidermis, greatly reduce the rate of percutaneous moisture loss, and improve the moisturizing and repairing ability of the product for a long time. The raw materials are gentle and non-irritating, and do not contain irritating chemical groups. They can be adapted to sensitive muscles, dry and sensitive skin, and fragile skin in season. The addition of 3% is just enough to build a complete and continuous liquid crystal mesh structure. It will not cause the liquid crystal film to break due to insufficient addition, nor will it cause the cream to be heavy and hard in excess. It is a key component to achieve long-lasting moisturizing and gentle repair. 2. The addition of NSOAF™2EHP (ethylhexyl palmitate) is 7.5% Ethylhexyl palmitate is a lightweight and soft oil with excellent overall performance, transparent liquid texture, excellent chemical stability and thermal stability characteristics, suitable for all kinds of O/W skin care systems.It has excellent spreading and breathability. It will not form a heavy oily film when applied to the skin. It can penetrate quickly and not stuffy the skin. It effectively neutralizes the sticky residue caused by heavy waxy and silicone oils, making the cream smooth and light to use. At the same time, this oil has excellent emulsification compatibility. When used with cetearyl olivate/sorbitan olivate liquid crystal emulsifier, it will not destroy the liquid crystal mesh structure, and it can also assist the liquid crystal film to spread evenly, further optimizing the feel of the skin. After absorption, the skin feels soft and delicate to the touch, and there will be no oily residue. 3. OILREE® MY922-25 (Beheneth-25) additive 1% Beheneth-25 is a green grade nonionic surfactant with a white granular appearance. It is used as an auxiliary thickening and stabilizing aid in this formula.It can assist liquid crystal emulsifiers to strengthen the oil-water interface film, improve the high and low temperature resistance of the entire O/W system, and avoid problems such as water analysis, stratification, and thinning of the paste in long-term storage. The low addition amount of 1% will not change the overall refreshing skin feeling. At the same time, the consistency of the cream can be adjusted, so that the liquid crystal cream has a soft and waxy texture, beautiful canning and forming, and the application time is greatly improved. The synergistic effect of the polyol moisturizing system further extends the moisturizing residence time. As a gentle makeup moisturizer supporting component, it can also be compatible with pre-makeup primer use scenarios. Functional description of the remaining auxiliary components Water is used as the base of the formula to replenish to 100%, and 10% glycerin is used to build a basic polyol moisturizing system, which continuously replenishes moisture for the epidermis and relieves dryness and tightness. Add 0.2% to the acrylyl dimethyl ammonium taurate/vp copolymer as an aqueous thickener to fine-tune the viscosity of the aqueous phase and reduce the probability of oil floating. EDTA-2Na 0.05% metal ion chelating agent, complexing metal impurities in water, preventing oxidation and discoloration of raw materials, and extending product shelf life. It is combined with 7.5% polydimethylsiloxane and 2% docosanol to further enhance the silky feel, soften the rough texture of the keratin, and adjust the degree of softness and hardness of the cream. 0.5% phenoxyethanol and 0.1% flavor have mild anticorrosive and perfuming effects, respectively. The added amount is low in irritation, will not destroy the liquid crystal structure, and is suitable for long-term daily use on the skin of the public. Advantages of comprehensive use of finished products First, the long-term water-locking and repairing barrier, the liquid crystal film fits the skin's native lipids, slowly releases moisture, and can be applied once in the morning and evening to maintain moisture throughout the day. People who are dry and peeling in the season and the barrier is slightly damaged insist on using it, which can significantly improve skin tightness, redness and discomfort. Second, the texture is light and non-sticky. ethylhexyl palmitate lightweight oil is combined with silicon raw materials. It is smooth and easy to push away, absorbs quickly, and does not leave a heavy oily film. Oily skin is used in summer without the burden of acne, and dry skin is used in autumn and winter. Sufficient moisturizing power, to achieve a two-way balance between refreshing and moisturizing. Third, the formula is gentle and suitable for a wide range of people. The core emulsifying and emollient raw materials are all low-irritating green grade, alcohol-free and non-irritating surface activity. Basic moisturizing for children, sensitive muscle repair, and daily skin care for pregnant women can all be used. The brand can simultaneously develop two subdivided products, the popular affordable line and the special repair line for sensitive muscles. Application value First of all, the compatibility and adaptability of raw materials is high, and there is no need to purchase a variety of auxiliary emulsifying and emollient raw materials, eliminating a lot of formula debugging and experimental costs, and greatly shortening the new product development and landing cycle. Secondly, CSO99 can directly replace imported liquid crystal emulsified raw materials, significantly reducing the cost of raw material procurement, helping brands increase product profit margins, and forming a dual differentiation advantage of price and texture in the homogenized market of moisturizing creams. The complete set of raw materials has a wide range of application scenarios. In addition to this basic moisturizing cream, it can also be extended to repair lotion, sensitive skin essence milk, baby moisturizer, makeup moisturizing milk and other O/W system products. Conclusion From cetearyl olivate/sorbitan olivate to build the core liquid crystal water-locking structure, to ethylhexyl palmitate to optimize the lightness and smoothness of the skin, to beheneth-25 to assist in stabilizing the entire O/W system, this liquid crystal moisturizing cream formula relies on clear component matching and mature and stable production technology to effectively solve the traditional moisturizing cream weak water lock, heavy skin feeling, and high raw material cost industry pain points. In the future, we will continue to focus on the research and development of natural gentle emulsified raw materials and liquid crystal skin care systems, and continue to output mature skin care formulas that can be directly landed, bringing more gentle, long-lasting and comfortable daily moisturizing skin care options to the majority of consumers.

Cationic Conditioning Agents in Scalp-Hair Interface Systems
Mechanism of action of cationic conditioning agent in scalp-hair interface system Scalp care skin care I.Scalp care≠hair care Traditional hair care products have a single core focus, focusing on only two points: the care of the surface of the hair, the smooth touch immediately after washing, and only the surface repair, ignoring the health of the scalp. But now the current trend of scalp care and skin care has changed this idea, no longer just staring at the hair itself, but focusing on a complete system: the scalp-hair follicle-hair interface system. This also allows the product positioning of cationic conditioners to be upgraded, getting rid of a single functional label: ❌ No longer just a simple hair softener instead ✔ Scalp hair interface regulator ✔ Charge neutralization and stabilization system ✔ Hair fiber arrangement regulator The daily formula is used in combination with Stearalkonium chloride, which can further optimize the interface adaptability and make the overall conditioning effect more balanced and gentle. II.Core principle The surface of our hair is naturally negatively charged, especially damaged hair, this characteristic will be more obvious. After the hair scales are opened and damaged, the negative charge on the surface increases, causing the hair friction to become larger, dry and frizzy. Daily combing and blowing can easily produce static electricity and blow hair into knots.The core action logic of our commonly used quaternary ammonium salt cationic conditioners is simple and intuitive: relying on electrostatic adsorption, they are firmly attached to the surface of the hair. In the end, three major effects are achieved: a uniform cationic protective film is formed on the surface of the hair, the coefficient of friction of the hair is greatly reduced, the messy hair fibers are straightened out, and the static electricity problem of frizz is improved from the root cause. III.OSMFACT® MY1631(Cetrimonium Chloride) 3.1 Molecular properties Cetrimonium Chloride is a short-chain quaternary ammonium salt, which is particularly water-soluble, adsorbs on the hair and scalp very quickly, and is effective and efficient. 3.2 Core functional features Focusing on rapid conditioning effect, it is the best choice for lightweight hair care formula: -Quickly neutralize excess charge in the hair and eliminate static electricity -Improve the knotting problem immediately after washing, and greatly improve the smoothness of combing hair -The skin feels fresh and light, without a heavy and sticky feeling 3.3 Applicable scenarios Based on the above characteristics, this system is more suitable for lightweight hair care products: -Refreshing light conditioner -Washed scalp care products -Special formula for fine and soft hair and oily scalp 3.4 Adaptability of scalp skin care In line with the core needs of scalp skin care, it focuses on refreshing, soothing, cleansing and conditioning the scalp. The biggest advantage is that there is almost no residue, no film will accumulate on the scalp, and the problem of clogging of hair follicles can be avoided to the greatest extent. It is very friendly to people with oily and sensitive scalp.Sebacic acid copolymer can further enhance the film-forming breathability of the formula, taking into account the conditioning effect and scalp breathing. IV.OSMFACT® MY2231(Behentrimonium Chloride ) 4.1 Comprehensive upgrade of molecular structure Behentrimonium Chloride is equipped with a long hydrophobic chain of C22, with a larger molecular weight, a stronger hydrophobic anchoring effect, and a binding force to the stratum corneum of the hair far exceeds that of the short-chain system. 4.2 Advantages of film-forming mechanism Compared with MY1631, it can form a thicker and longer-lasting conditioning protective film on the surface of the hair. The overall adsorption force is stronger, the adhesion rate of active ingredients is higher, the flushing speed is slower, the hair care effect is longer-lasting, and the long-lasting softening ability is outstanding.Adding tribehenin to the formula can help optimize the film-forming texture, make the film body more uniform and delicate, and improve the overall moisture content. 4.3 Getting started with somatosensory It is a typical high-end moisturizing experience: the cream is mellow and silky, and has a strong ability to comb and knot hair. After blow-drying, the hair is smooth and drape very well, and the effect of smoothing frizz is full. 4.4 Core structure advantages The long hydrophobic chain has its own crystallization properties, which can form a regular and orderly protective film on the surface of the stratum corneum of the hair. It is not a false slip floating on the surface, but a true and supple texture for deep repair. V.Synergy between cationic conditioning agent and formula system 5.1 Anionic surfactants (shampoo system) The interaction of cation and anionic components will form a condensed layer structure, which accurately regulates the adhesion of active ingredients to avoid excessive residues or insufficient effects. 5.2 Fatty alcohol/Structural regulator Stabilizing the structure of the overall conditioning system can greatly enhance the mellow texture of the paste of the MY2231 system and make the product texture more delicate and uniform. 5.3 Silicone oil/Ester grease Further enhance the smooth touch of the hair, reduce frictional resistance, and at the same time make the conditioning ingredients adhere more evenly to the surface of the hair, and the repair effect is more comprehensive. VI.Formula design ideas 6.1 Lightweight scalp Conditioning Products With MY1631 as the core raw material, the main low-residue, no-accumulation formula, with a quick rinse design, is suitable for daily refreshing care needs, nourishing the scalp and not stuffy acne. 6.2 High-end nourishing hair care cream With MY2231 as the core, it builds a layered and delicate structure, has a high adhesion rate of ingredients, and has strong moisturizing and repairing power. It is specially aimed at dry, perm and damaged hair. VII.Core product adaptation positioning OSMFACT® MY1631 Fast-acting lightweight conditioning raw materials, different solvent systems, low residue, scalp-friendly, suitable for refreshing, daily basic care formula. OSMFACT® MY2231 High-performance waxy conditioning system and different solvent systems can create a mellow and silky product texture and enhance the high-grade smooth texture of hair. It is the core raw material of high-end nourishing hair care products. VIII.Summary of core technologies Nowadays, cationic conditioners are no longer simple hair care, but engineering-grade repair raw materials for the scalp-hair interface. Its final use effect mainly depends on four core factors: component adsorption speed, hydrophobic chain molecular structure, hair stratum corneum adhesion performance, and compatibility with anions, silicone oils, fatty alcohol and other systems. Adaptability. Attribute MY1631 MY2231 Chain Length Short chain Long chain Adsorption Speed Fast Moderate Conditioning Intensity Light/Mild Rich/Intense Residue low Moderate Suitable Hair Type Fine, soft hair;Oily scalp Dry, brittle hair; Coarse, damaged hair Scalp Compatibility High Moderate

Interaction Between Ester Oils and Silicone Polymers in Emulsion Systems
1. Industry background Ester oils and silicone oils are two types of oil-phase raw materials that are widely used. Almost most moisturizing lotions, lightweight creams, makeup primer and other products will use the two together. In simple terms, ester oils can bring a gentle and moisturizing effect to the lotion, solving the problem of dryness and insufficient moisturizing power of the product, while silicone oils can optimize the spread of the product and create a popular dry skin feeling on the market.The interaction of the two can not only achieve a good film-forming moisturizing effect, but also ensure that the upper skin is light and malleable, and it is suitable for daily skin care, base makeup and other use scenarios. 2. Essential differences in raw materials The contradiction between the adaptation of ester oils and silicone oils is rooted in the different molecular structures of the two and the different basic physical and chemical properties, which also determines their different modes of action and interface performance in the emulsion. Ester oils are organic polar emollients. The commonly used raw materials such as pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate and isononyl isononanoate on the market have distinctive raw material characteristics, which are also the core advantages of their adaptation to the emulsion system. Core characteristics of ester grease: -The molecule has an ester-based functional group and has medium polarity -Strong intermolecular force, good grease structure stability -Excellent compatibility with hydrocarbon oils and similar ester raw materials -Good moisturizing, film-forming, and pigment dispersion ability Like the high-molecular-weight pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate, it not only has excellent moisturizing and sealing properties, but also has a good waterproof effect, which can improve the adhesion and gloss of the emulsion. It is the core raw material in the emulsion system that supports the skin feeling and efficacy, and it is also the skin feeling skeleton of the entire emulsion system.At the same time, adding an appropriate amount of Ascorbyl palmitate to the formula can also work synergistically with ester oils to enhance the oxidation resistance of the oil phase and delay the oxidation and deterioration of the oil. Silicone oil is an inorganic flexible chain raw material. Dimethicone crosspolymer, Dimethicone crosspolymer, etc., which are frequently used in market formulas, have different physical and chemical properties from organic ester oils. Core characteristics of silicone oil: -With silicon-oxygen bonds as the core molecular skeleton, it has the characteristics of inorganic raw materials -Extremely low surface tension and excellent spreading performance -High molecular chain flexibility and outstanding ductility -The overall polarity is very low, and it is an ultra-weakly polar oil phase raw material The biggest advantage of this kind of raw material is that it spreads quickly, there is almost no sticky residue on the skin, it can create the ultimate dry touch, and volatile silicone oil can evaporate quickly, further enhancing the lightness of the product. 3. Three common states of existence of ester-silicon mixed oil phase In the process of blending the oil phase of the emulsion, the two types of raw materials will show three different structural states after mixing. The different states directly determine the stability of the emulsion and the final skin feeling. The most common in daily formulas is the state of microscopic phase separation, but the stable state of complete miscibility is relatively rare. The first is a completely miscible state, which mostly appears in the system of light ester oils and low molecular weight silicone oils, and it is also the most ideal oil phase state in formula development. Core characteristics of this state: -The two types of grease can be partially miscible, and there is no obvious phase difference. -Form a uniform and unified complete oil phase system -The overall stability of the emulsion is excellent, and the storage is not easy to go wrong -The upper skin feels uniform and delicate, without local heavy and dry blemishes This stable system is mostly used in low-viscosity skin care products such as lightweight essences and refreshing water creams., Suitable for daily refreshing skin care scenes. The second is the microscopic phase separation state, which is the mainstream form of most esterosilicate complex emulsions on the market, and it is also the most common system state in the formula. Core characteristics of this state: -The two phases of ester silicon cannot be completely miscible, forming nanoscale microscopic partitions -With ester grease as the continuous phase, silicone oil gathers to form a tiny enrichment area -The microscopic separation structure is not visible to the naked eye, and there is no obvious stratification phenomenon -The system is in dynamic balance, there is no abnormality in appearance but there are hidden fluctuations in skin feeling This hidden microstructure change is the core reason why many lotion products are smooth and dry when they are first applied to the skin, and the texture of the skin deteriorates and the skin feels unstable after absorption. The third is the macroscopic phase instability state, which belongs to the failure state caused by formula design errors and improper matching of raw materials, and belongs to the unqualified emulsion system. Core characteristics of this state: -The two phases of ester silicon have obvious macroscopic phase separation, and the uniformity of the system is completely destroyed. -Tiny oil droplets continue to gather and merge to form a large-particle oil phase -The emulsion has obvious problems such as oil, sweating, and layering -The texture of the product is broken and the texture of normal use is completely lost Most of this failure state is caused by unbalanced ester-silicon ratio, mismatched emulsification system, incorrect selection of raw materials, etc., and the finished product cannot be produced and sold normally. 4. Skin sensation formation mechanism of different ratio systems The difference in skin feeling of emulsions felt by consumers is essentially the result of different ratios of ester oils and silicone oils and different phase structure distributions. There is a very obvious difference in skin feeling performance between the two types of raw material-led systems. The emulsion system dominated by ester oils has a warm and plump overall skin feeling, which is suitable for moisturizing skin care products, mainly for dry skin. Skin feeling characteristics of the ester-led system: -Smooth and soft application, with a soft waxy cushion to the touch -The oil absorption speed is moderate, it will not dry out quickly and it will not be sticky. -Good film-forming properties, excellent moisturizing and battery life -Long-lasting skin moisture, suitable for dry environments in autumn and winter The reason for this skin feeling is because the molecules of ester oils have stronger cohesion. During the application and rubbing process, the oil phase structure will be broken in an orderly manner and spread evenly, which can form a uniform moisturizing film on the surface of the skin and nourish the skin for a long time. The silicone oil-led lotion system focuses on refreshing and matte skin feeling, and is suitable for summer skin care and oily skin. It is a popular light-feeling lotion system at the moment. Skin feeling characteristics of the leading system of silicone oil: -The upper skin is instantly smooth, malleable and full, and it is easy to push away -Almost no greasy residue, light skin feeling and no burden -After absorption, the skin appears in a refreshing and matte state, not stuffy -Volatile silicone oil evaporates quickly to eliminate the problem of sticky rubbing mud This is based on the extremely low surface tension of silicone oil, which can achieve rapid spreading. With the rapid volatilization characteristics of volatile silicone oil, it can quickly take away the sticky feeling of the surface and create a dry skin feeling that the public loves. The mainstream complex ligand system on the market is not a simple oil superposition, the core is to balance the flow activity and interfacial stability of the oil phase.Ester oils make up for the shortcomings of dryness and insufficient moisturizing of silicone oils. Silicone oils neutralize the heavy stickiness of ester oils. The two counterbalance each other and complement each other's advantages in order to create a balanced skin feeling that takes into account smoothness, moisturizing power, and freshness. This is also the core reason why the ester-silicon complex ligand system can become the mainstream of the industry. 5. Emulsification system regulation In formula research and development, it is necessary to rely on the scientific emulsifier makeup matching logic, and customize the appropriate emulsion system according to the ratio of ester silicon and the molecular weight characteristics of the raw material.For the system of polymer ester grease with crosslinked silicone oil, it is necessary to choose emulsified components with both ester- and silicon-friendly properties, build a stable oil-water interface film, and firmly wrap the two oil-phase raw materials with different characteristics to avoid phase separation. Combined with the industry's mature formulation experience, the ester system with pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate as the core can be used as the skin-feeling skeleton of the emulsion, providing stable film-forming, moisturizing, and adhesion properties. It is used with volatile silicone oil and siloxane crosslinked polymer to optimize skin feeling, and then reconcile the two-phase adaptability through a dedicated emulsifying system.

Liquid Crystal Emulsifiers: Structure, Stability & Skin Feel
Many people may not know the specific difference between liquid crystal emulsions and ordinary emulsions. Our usual emulsions basically rely on oil-in-water emulsifiers and oil-in-water emulsifiers.The liquid crystal emulsifying system is different. It relies on the assembly and rearrangement of various emulsified molecules to form a layer-by-layer layered network structure. It looks like an onion at the microscopic level. Stacked layer by layer, it is very similar to the lipid structure of the stratum corneum of our human skin.It is also this special structure that makes it excellent in terms of stability, water-locking ability, skin repair effect and skin feeling.Next, let's talk about it in layman's terms, how this liquid crystal layered structure is formed, how it is stabilized, and what practical use it has in skin care products. I.Technological innovation: Emulsion microstructure The liquid crystal emulsifying system is a special state between a liquid and a crystal. The biggest feature is that it has a neat alternating layered structure, and water, surfactants, and oils are arranged in an orderly manner layer by layer. This is also the core reason why it is closest to the structure of human skin. A mature liquid crystal system is a three-dimensional network of countless bimolecular layers stacked on the micro level, with a dense and regular structure.Unlike the dispersion mode of ordinary emulsion particles, it relies on its own structure to form a gel network to stabilize the overall system. Without adding a large amount of thickener, it can have good consistency and stability.In the formula, Peg 80 sorbitan laurate is an auxiliary raw material. It can gently adjust the molecular arrangement of the oil-water interface, so that the layered structure of the liquid crystal grows more regularly, and there will be no structural confusion or local cracking. It can be used as an additive for the formation of liquid crystal systems. In simple terms, liquid crystal emulsions are a network of molecules assembled by themselves to form a body, which firmly locks oil and water in a layered structure. Not only is it not easy to deteriorate and stratify, but it can also trap moisture and skin care ingredients between the gaps and slowly release them. II.Core mechanism Liquid crystal structure, it is a process of gradual change and gradual progress.A simple understanding is the assembly process of molecules from chaotic to neat, from scattered to formed.The whole process can be roughly divided into four stages. The molecular state and system texture of each stage are different. Moreover, we can adjust the ratio of raw materials, production temperature and homogenization process to control the molding effect of the structure and adapt it to different skin care product needs. Stage one: When making emulsions at the beginning, we will first heat and homogenize and stir. At this stage, the temperature is relatively high. All emulsified molecules and grease molecules are evenly dispersed in the system, and they will spontaneously gather into small spherical micelles, wrapping part of the oil phase.At this time, the oil and water are only simply fused, and the whole is still in a messy and disordered state. The fluidity is very strong. The bottoming effect at this stage is very important. Myristyl Myristate can adjust the properties of the oil phase well, reduce the interfacial tension between the oil and water, and avoid the micelle getting together and agglomeration, so that the entire system is uniform and stable, and lay a good foundation for subsequent structural molding. Stage two: In the follow-up, as the system slowly cools and the moisture content stabilizes, the force state of the entire system changes, and the originally stable spherical micelle begins to become unstable.The emulsified molecules will slowly adjust their arrangement posture, no longer gather into balls, and gradually become columnar and flaky aggregates.This step is the transition stage. Although a complete liquid crystal structure has not yet been formed, the molecules have begun to become regular, and the arrangement density of the oil-water interface is slowly getting higher, preparing for the formation of layered structures. In order to make this transition process smoother and avoid messy molecular arrangement, OILREE® MY749-B (Bis diglyceryl polyacyladipate 2) is generally added to the formula.The adaptability of this raw material is particularly good. It can form a gentle coupling force with emulsified molecules and water molecules, actively guide the orderly arrangement of molecules, effectively prevent local structural deformities and uneven arrangement, and greatly improve the regularity of the final liquid crystal layered structure, so that the texture of the finished product is more uniform. Stage three: When the molecular arrangement density of the oil-water interface reaches a suitable critical state, the most critical step will be ushered in: the bimolecular layer is officially formed.This is also the core skeleton of the liquid crystal system that is truly formed.All emulsified molecules will be neatly arranged, the hydrophilic head is close to the aqueous phase, and the hydrophobic tail is firmly stuck in the oil phase, and the arrangement is particularly tight and regular, forming a stable oil-water isolation layer.Compared with the previous messy micelle structure, the order and stability of this bimolecular layer are not at the same level at all. Stage four: Finally, there is the stage of perfecting the overall structure. Countless regular bimolecular layers are constantly stacked, staggered, and extended to form many multilayer vesicle structures, which are finally intertwined into a complete and dense liquid crystal gel network.At this time, the system has both stability and practicality. When placed statically, it is a thick and stable cream. There are many nano-scale tiny gaps inside, which can firmly lock in moisture, oil and skin care active ingredients. It will not be lost easily, and it can be easily pushed away when applied, and the fluidity is particularly good. III.Underlying logic Many people may think that the liquid crystal structure is formed by a certain kind of raw material alone, but it is not.It can be formed stably and remain intact for a long time, which is the result of multiple forces working together.Simplicity can be classified into three points: hydrophobic interaction, interfacial bulk density, and hydrogen bond network.These three forces cooperate and restrain each other, so that the molecules can be assembled autonomously and in an orderly manner, and finally form a stable layered liquid crystal structure, which directly determines the texture and stability of the finished emulsion. 1. Hydrophobic interaction The first is the hydrophobic interaction, which is the most basic driving force for the formation of structures.The hydrophobic tails of grease and emulsified molecules naturally dislike contact with water. In order to keep the system stable and reduce their own energy, they will spontaneously gather together and arrange tightly.This innate tendency to gather gives scattered molecules the basic conditions to assemble into micelles and stack into layered structures. 2. Interfacial bulk density The second is the interfacial bulk density, which is simply the density of molecules at the oil-water interface, which directly determines what kind of structure can be formed in the end.If the molecules are arranged very loose, they will only form ordinary spherical micelles. If the density is moderate, they will become a soft worm-like structure. Only when the bulk density reaches a suitable high level can the molecules be spread out flatly and stacked into the layered liquid crystal structure we need.Usually when the formula is developed, everyone will adjust the ratio of emulsifiers and greases to accurately control this density to ensure the smooth formation of the liquid crystal structure. 3. Hydrogen bond network effect Finally, there is the fixation of the hydrogen bond network, which is the key to the long-term stability of the structure.In the aqueous phase of the liquid crystal system, emulsifiers, additives and water molecules will form a large number of hydrogen bonds with each other to build a stable structured water layer.This layer of network can not only lock in moisture, but also fix the position of the bimolecular layer to prevent the layered structure from loosening, misalignment, and collapse.Among them, Glycol distearate can participate in the construction of the hydrogen bond network, making the entire network denser and stronger, greatly improving the storage and shear resistance of the liquid crystal system, and it is not easy to go wrong with daily use and storage. V.Recipe code To make a high-quality liquid crystal emulsion, the core is to choose the right emulsifier and matching raw materials.The molecular structure, HLB value, and molecular morphology of the emulsifier will directly affect the molding effect of the liquid crystal structure.In simple terms, the HLB value is too high or too low. Only a medium value can form a layered structure smoothly.Molecules are regular long-chain forms, which are easy to be tiled and stacked, and molecules with messy structures will directly destroy the liquid crystal formation.At the same time, the emulsifying system with ionic action can make the interface bond stronger and the bimolecular layer structure more stable. Therefore, when developing formulas, everyone will give priority to adapting emulsified raw materials with suitable molecular morphology and moderate HLB value to ensure the regularity and stability of the liquid crystal structure from the root cause, avoid structural defects, system instability and a series of problems, and maximize the skin care advantages of the liquid crystal system. In the actual production formula, special additives are generally used to improve the quality of the finished product.MY965 (peg-100 stearate & glyceryl stearat) This raw material can well adjust the rheology of the system, help the liquid crystal emulsion stabilize and thicken, and strengthen the layered network structure; MY989 (polygyceryl-4 isostearate), MY987 (polyglyceryl-2 tetraoleate) ester system can optimize oil compatibility, so that the structure breaks more evenly when applied, the skin feels more delicate, and avoids heavy and false slippage. VI.Segmented application scenarios Relying on the advantages of gentleness and safety, advanced skin feeling, and strong stability, liquid crystal emulsification technology has now been widely used in all kinds of high-end skin care products, covering many fields such as repair, moisturizing, sunscreen, and sensitive skin care. It is the core technology of effective skin care products. In barrier repair products, the liquid crystal structure can accurately simulate the stratum corneum of the skin, quickly repair the damaged barrier, relieve skin redness, dry itching, and sensitive problems, and maintain a stable skin state for a long time. It is the preferred system for sensitive muscles and postoperative repair products.Among high-end moisturizing products, its long-lasting water-locking ability is matched with a cloud-like dense skin feeling, which easily opens the gap with ordinary moisturizing products, and its texture and efficacy are more outstanding. In sunscreen products, a regular liquid crystal network allows the sunscreen ingredients to be evenly spread out to form a complete protective film, which effectively reduces the problems of whitening, mud rubbing, and greasy after application, and stabilizes the activity of the sunscreen ingredients to ensure that the sunscreen effect does not decrease.Moreover, the whole system is gentle and non-irritating, and has strong compatibility. Whether it is adult skin care products or special products for infants and sensitive muscles, it can be adapted and has a wide range of application scenarios.

Oil-to-Milk Phase Transition Kinetics in Cleansing Systems
Phase Transition Kinetics in Oil-to-Milk Cleansing Systems The cleaning performance of the product is no longer only determined by the solubility of the oil phase, but more depends on a lower-level process-Oil-to-Milk Phase Transition. From the perspective of formulation, this kind of system is closer to an unbalanced phase conversion system than the stable mixed structure of “oil + emulsifier + water” in the traditional sense.What really determines the experience is the speed of structural reorganization of the system at the moment of contact with water, and how the interface quickly changes from the continuous phase of oil to a flushable dispersed and emulsified state. Oil-to-Milk Transition When makeup remover products are spread on the surface of the skin, the system first manifests as a typical oil-linked continuous structure.Ester oils, hydrocarbon oils, and some silicone oil systems will spread rapidly, and dissolve and wrap makeup. This stage is usually the smoothest period. But when water begins to intervene, the system will enter a very critical stage of interface instability.The local interfacial tension fluctuated rapidly, the emulsifier molecules began to rearrange, and the original continuous oil film structure was gradually destroyed.This process is not the beginning of simple emulsification, but the pre-kinetic stage of phase inversion. Then the system entered a real turning point: the oil phase broke from a continuous structure to dispersed oil droplets, and gradually transformed into oil-in-water emulsion, visually showing a state of “emulsifying into milk”.But from a microscopic point of view, this is actually a rapid transition from the continuous phase of oil to the dispersed phase. From a thermodynamic point of view, the oil-water system is inherently incompatible, and the final stable state is still stratified.However, the perceived “good or bad use” of consumers does not depend on the final state, but on the dynamic path-that is, the speed at which the phase transformation occurs and the stability of the path. In other words, the key is not whether it will be layered, but how it will change before it is layered.This is also the biggest difference between the oil-to-emulsion system and the traditional emulsification system. Interface behavior In system design, interface behavior is often more critical than oil phase selection.The emulsifier is not just a stable structure here, it is more like an interfacial dynamics dispatcher. In the initial oil phase stage, the emulsifier usually exists in the form of a single-molecule membrane, which is arranged preferentially towards the oil phase to maintain the continuity of the system.However, when the aqueous phase enters, these molecules will quickly hydrate and re-orient, the interface curvature begins to change, and the system gradually shifts from W/O tendency to O/W structure. In this process, different emulsifying systems will exhibit completely different kinetic paths.For example, some systems are designed to favor rapid interfacial rearrangement, causing the oil phase to quickly break into small oil droplets, while others retain a longer transition state, making structural changes more slow and gradual. This difference will eventually directly affect the flushing speed and residual feeling. In actual formulas, this kind of interface regulation is often achieved in combination with specific oil phase systems.For example, in some lightweight solvent systems, such as C13 14 isoproaffin, it will provide lower structural resistance and make the phase transition occur faster; while in high-moisture systems, such as capric capric triglyceride, it is more inclined to form a more stable oil film structure, thereby prolonging the milk-to-milk path. This combination relationship is essentially controlling the time of existence of the oil film. Three-stage evolution of microstructure If viewed from the perspective of structural evolution, the entire oil-to-milk process can be understood as a continuous but unstable three-stage path. The first stage is a continuous oil phase structure, the system has a high viscosity and a complete oil network, which is mainly responsible for dissolving makeup and spreading. The second stage enters a double-continuous transition state. At this time, the oil phase and the water phase begin to penetrate each other, and the interface continues to break and rebuild. It is the stage where the energy of the entire system fluctuates most violently, and it is also the key window that determines the final skin feeling. The third stage is transformed into a typical oil-in-water emulsion. The oil droplets are dispersed and wrapped in the aqueous phase, the fluidity of the system is improved, it presents a milky white appearance, and it has good flushing performance. Differentiation of flushing sensation: quick flushing vs residual From the point of view of user experience, the oil-to-milk system will eventually divide into two typical feelings. One is a rapid flushing system: the milk transfer speed is fast, the interface rigidity is low, the particle size of the oil droplets is small, and the system can quickly enter a dispersed state, so it is rinsed clean and the skin feels light. The other is a high residual system: the oil film breaks down slowly, the transition state exists for a long time, and part of the oil phase is not completely dispersed, resulting in a heavy skin feeling. This difference often does not depend on the amount of oil, but on the design of the phase conversion dynamics. In some systems, the initial aqueous phase intervention will be delayed through the pre-structural design of the water in oil emulsifier, thereby improving the makeup melting efficiency.However, this structure needs to undergo a stronger reverse rotation when encountering water, so the interfacial regulation ability of the emulsifying system is more demanding. On the contrary, in a more rapid flushing system, the tendency of oil in water emulsifier will be introduced earlier, causing the system to enter a dispersed state faster, thereby shortening the milk transfer path. These two paths are essentially different orientations of “efficiency” and “skin feeling”. Kinetic control: the real role of Emulsifiers In the modern formulation system, the emulsifier is no longer just a stabilizer, but a phase conversion control unit. It affects the system through three key mechanisms: The first is to adjust the interfacial tension so that water can enter the oil film structure faster or slower. The second is curvature control, which determines whether the oil phase tends to maintain a continuous structure or break rapidly. Finally, the oil droplet crushing control directly affects the final emulsified particle size and milky white fineness. When these three factors work together, the entire oil-to-milk process changes from a natural occurrence to a designable process. Conclusion The performance of the oil-to-emulsion system is essentially not determined by the solubility of the oil phase alone, but by the phase transformation dynamics and the interface reconstruction process. Truly excellent systems often have two characteristics: one is that the milk transfer process is fast enough, and the other is that the milk transfer path is controllable enough. When these two conditions are met at the same time, the final experience is usually: rinsed, the skin feels light, and there is almost no residual burden. In this sense, the Oil-to-Milk Cleaning System is more like a precision-designed interfacial phase change system than just a cleaning product system.

Alkyl Phosphate vs PEG Emulsifiers in O/W Emulsion Stability
O/W emulsion system performance: Difference in phase behavior between alkyl phosphate and PEG emulsifier The emulsification stability of O/W emulsion is not a single performance index, but the result of the combination of the molecular structure of the emulsifier, the interfacial adsorption method, and the macroscopic phase organization.At present, the mainstream O/W emulsifiers on the market are mainly divided into two categories, namely PEG emulsifiers that have been used for many years and alkyl phosphate emulsifiers with advanced performance.Both seem to be able to achieve the effect of oil-water emulsification, but there are essential differences in molecular adsorption, interfacial film formation, phase stability, and macroscopic performance. I.The core logic of O/W emulsion stability To distinguish the performance differences between the two types of emulsifiers, we must first clarify the core logic of O/W emulsion stability.A qualified stable emulsion needs to rely on the complete phase organization support of the molecular layer, the interfacial layer, and the macrostructure. Any imbalance in the structure of any layer will lead to the collapse of the overall system stability. This is also the key reason why the phase behavior determines the quality of the emulsion. The first layer is the molecular adsorption layer, which is the basis for the stability of the emulsion.The emulsifier molecules need to be evenly adsorbed at the oil-water interface. Through the directional arrangement of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, the tension of the oil-water interface is reduced so that the grease can be evenly dispersed in the aqueous phase.The second layer is the interfacial film layer. The adsorbed emulsifier molecules will gather to form a continuous interfacial film, which wraps the oil droplets to resist the collision and aggregation between the oil droplets and avoid agglomeration and stratification.The third layer is a macroscopic droplet network structure, with countless stable wrapped oil droplets evenly dispersed to form a regular and uniform overall system, and ultimately achieve long-term stability. The core gap between PEG emulsifiers and alkyl phosphate emulsifiers is reflected in the molding quality and stability of these three-layer structures.Different molecular structures have created very different interface orientations and phase organization forms, which also directly determine the stability, skin feeling, weather resistance and other core properties of the finished emulsion.In formula design, reasonable matching of oil in water emulsifiers is the key to controlling the basic performance of the system. The difference in the selection of the two types of emulsifiers will directly rewrite the comprehensive performance of the finished product. II.Molecular structure differences The phase behavior of an emulsifier is essentially determined by its own molecular structure. The molecular hydrophilic and hydrophobic group characteristics of PEG emulsifiers and alkyl phosphate emulsifiers are different. The adsorption method, binding strength, and migration ability at the oil-water interface are very different, and two completely different interfacial membrane structures are eventually formed. 2.1 PEG emulsifier PEG emulsifiers such as Ceteareth-20 and Steareth-21, which are commonly used in daily formulas, are typical nonionic emulsifiers. The core stabilization mechanism relies on the hydration of the EO chain.The polyethylene glycol chain segment in its molecular structure can form a large number of hydrogen bonds with water molecules, build a dense hydrated layer on the surface of the oil droplets, and rely on solvation to achieve oil-water emulsification. This adsorption method forms a flexible interfacial adsorption layer, which is characterized by high dynamic activity.The exchange speed of PEG emulsifier molecules on the interface is fast, and the interface can be quickly rearranged, which is suitable for the production needs of rapid emulsification, and is suitable for batch and efficient emulsion production.However, the shortcomings are also very obvious. The structural strength of the flexible interfacial membrane is limited, the binding force of molecules to the interface is weak, and the interfacial mobility is high, making it impossible to form a stable interfacial skeleton. From the perspective of phase behavior, the O/W system built by PEG emulsifiers is a typical kinetic stable system, relying on continuous dynamic balance to maintain the emulsion state, rather than the rigid stability of the structure itself.This also explains why many PEG system emulsions are in good condition for short-term storage at room temperature, but after long-term placement, heating up or disturbance by external forces, they are prone to state fluctuations. 2.2 Alkyl phosphate emulsifier The alkyl phosphate emulsifier represented by potassium potassium cetyl phosphate and c20-22 alkyl phosphate has a unique molecular structure and dual advantages.One end is a strongly polar phosphoric acid group, which can produce a strong ionic interaction with the aqueous phase and firmly bind the molecules of the aqueous phase. The other end is a long-chain hydrophobic alkyl structure, which can deeply anchor the oil phase and realize the strong binding of the oil and water phases. Compared with the flexible membrane of PEG emulsifiers, alkyl phosphates can form a semi-rigid interfacial membrane, the interfacial binding force is greatly improved, the mobility of molecules at the oil-water interface is significantly reduced, and the regularity and stability of the interfacial structure are higher.The molecular bulk density on the surface of the oil droplets has been greatly increased, which effectively reduces the overall interfacial energy and builds a quasi-structured interfacial network.This structure is not rigid and cured, but has both stability and flexibility, which can resist interference from the external environment and ensure the smooth texture of the emulsion when applied. Relying on the unique advantages of interfacial structure, alkyl phosphate emulsifiers are often used in the formulation of thickening suspension system. While achieving emulsification stability, they can also assist the system in thickening and suspending the powder, and solve the problems of emulsion stratification and powder sedimentation in one stop. Suitable for high-demand makeup and sunscreen products. III.Phase organization and phase zone characteristics Based on the different interfacial film-forming characteristics, the phase organization morphology, phase zone range, and phase drift resistance of the two types of emulsifiers in the O/W system are significantly differentiated. This is also the core source of the stability difference in the formula. The critical difference between the two can be clearly distinguished from the perspective of the phase diagram. 3.1 PEG emulsifier system The range of O/W phase regions of PEG emulsifiers is relatively wide, and the HLB value can be adjusted to adapt to a variety of grease systems, and the formula is highly adaptable, which is also the main reason for its high popularity.However, the shortcoming of this system is that the phase stability is poor and it is sensitive to temperature, electrolyte, and storage time. 3.2 Alkyl phosphate system The O/W phase region of alkyl phosphate emulsifiers is relatively concentrated, which requires higher accuracy of formula ratio, but in exchange for extremely strong phase stability.The quasi-structured interface network it builds has a stable structure, is not susceptible to temperature, electrolyte, and external force disturbances, and there is almost no phase drift problem. When using an appropriate amount of fat-soluble active ingredients such as Ascorbyl palmitate in the formula system, the alkyl phosphate system can be stably compatible with various active substances, and there will be no problems of system demulsification and component inactivation, and it is suitable for the research and development and production of high-value-added emulsions. IV.Macro application performance comparison The microscopic phase behavior differences will eventually be intuitively reflected in the macroscopic properties of the finished emulsion, including viscosity stability, skin texture, weather resistance stability and other dimensions, and the applicable scenarios of the two types of emulsifiers are directly divided. 4.1 Viscosity stability PEG emulsifiers themselves have almost no thickening ability, and the viscosity of the system depends on the adjustment of additional polymers and thickeners, and the overall viscosity system is passive and fragile.At the same time, the PEG system is very sensitive to electrolytes. After adding minerals and active electrolyte components to the formula, it is prone to sudden drops in viscosity, thinning of the system, and poor storage stability. The alkyl phosphate system has the ability to actively thicken, and the regular interfacial accumulation structure can directly provide viscosity support for the system. There is no need to add a lot of exogenous thickeners, and the viscosity of the system is more natural and stable.At the same time, its excellent electrolyte tolerance can be adapted to various additives, long-term storage viscosity fluctuations are minimal, and the finished product is in a more stable state. 4.2 Skin texture performance PEG system lotion is smooth to apply and light to use. The skin feeling of the alkyl phosphate system is more advantageous. Relying on the semi-rigid interface structure, it presents a structured and smooth texture during application, and the texture is uniform and delicate. V.Exclusive product landing In view of the current formulation pain points of beauty and skin care lotions, two green-grade alkyl phosphate emulsifiers PHSPTER™16PK and PHSPTER™922P, relying on the advantages of differentiated phase behavior, accurately adapt to different scenarios of O/W emulsion research and development, taking into account stability, skin feeling and functionality. 5.1 PHSPTER™16PK: INCI is called potassium cetyl phosphate. Its core advantage is excellent water resistance. After the film is formed, a uniform and breathable waterproof film can be formed on the surface of the skin, which can effectively enhance the waterproof ability of sunscreen and makeup-free products to hold makeup, and avoid the problem of sweating, water-stained makeup and sunscreen.At the same time, the skin feels extremely light, without a heavy film, and is suitable for lightweight makeup creams, moisturizing sunscreens, refreshing skin care lotions and other products.The product has a wide range of adaptation systems, and the recommended addition amount of the formula is 1-5%. 5.2 PHSPTER™922P INCI is named c20-22 alkyl phosphate & Stearyl phosphate & Behenyl alcohol. The appearance is white particles. As a high-stability skeleton-type emulsifying system, this product focuses on optimizing the thickening capacity of the system on the basis of retaining excellent water resistance. Compared with single phosphate emulsifiers and PEG emulsifiers, 922P adapts to scenes covering high-end products such as high-stability makeup creams, high-magnification sunscreens, and makeup lotions with powder. The recommended dosage of the formula is also 1-5%. It has wide adaptability and simple operation. It is the preferred raw material for emulsifier makeup scenes. VI.Formula selection summary In the formula selection, if you pursue rapid emulsification, extremely refreshing and light texture, and control the cost of raw materials, ordinary skin care lotions and basic moisturizing lotions can choose PEG emulsifiers to meet the basic emulsification needs.However, if the product needs long-lasting stability, waterproof makeup, uniform powder dispersion, high temperature resistance freeze-thaw, or high-demand categories such as sunscreen, makeup cream, and high-end makeup lotion, alkyl phosphate emulsifiers are the best choice. Among them, PHSPTER™16PK is mainly light and water-resistant, suitable for lightweight and moisturizing high-end emulsions, and PHSPTER™922P is mainly high-stability thickening, suitable for powder, high-stability, and high-holding makeup products. The two products accurately cover the core formula needs of high-end O/W emulsions.

5 Types of Makeup Removers That Were Unwanted Five Years Ago but Are Now Huge Hits
5 types of makeup remover products that no one wanted five years ago, but now they are on fire If you put the time back, most consumers' understanding of makeup remover is actually relatively simple-either it is cleanly removed or it is easy to use.But today's choice has obviously become complicated. It's not just about removing makeup, but starting to pay attention to the skin feeling, rhythm, and state of the skin after use. This change has allowed some categories that were once not optimistic to re-enter the mainstream vision. 1. Cleansing Balm Five years ago: Consumers' first reaction is usually more direct: · Too oily · Too heavy · Not easy to rinse In the consumption habits at that time, refreshing, fast, and burden-free were almost the first priority. It was naturally difficult for a product with a creamy and oily feeling like makeup remover cream to enter the mainstream choice. The situation is obviously different now. Under the influence of Japanese and Korean skin care habits, makeup remover cream has gradually been re-understood.It is no longer just oil, but a more efficient and complete form of makeup remover. Consumers are beginning to accept: · Stability brought about by anhydrous system · Stronger makeup dissolving ability · And more suitable for travel and commuting This change looks like a product trend, but in essence, the usage scenario has changed. Why Modern Cleansing Balms Feel Different? If you compare the products of five years ago, you will find that the changes are not just better to use, but the entire use path has been redesigned. In the past, the problem with makeup remover creams was usually concentrated in one link: the transformation after encountering water was not smooth enough. If the emulsification speed is slower, the rinsing will become longer, and the oil phase dispersion is not fine enough, and the skin feeling will easily leave a sense of existence. And now consumers are more concerned about a very direct experience: · Instant Emulsification · Fast Rinse · No Residue In simple terms, it is: It can change rapidly as soon as it comes into contact with water The flushing process is cleaner and cleaner There is no obvious burden on the skin after the end This change in experience has changed the makeup remover cream from a high threshold of use to frequent daily use. The Formulation Challenge But to achieve this seemingly simple experience, it is not easy for you. Formulators need to balance several directions: Makeup dissolving ability Emulsification speed And the final performance These three are not linearly related, but affect each other. For example, improving the makeup-dissolving ability of the oil system usually makes the overall structure heavier, and if excessive emphasis is placed on rapid rinsing, it may affect the cleaning efficiency of waterproof makeup. Therefore, in recent years, the more common practice in the industry is to introduce some more systematic structural design ideas. For example: Self-Emulsifying Systems Phase Inversion Technology High-Efficiency Emulsifier Blends The common feature of these systems is to allow the product to undergo faster and more uniform structural changes at the moment of contact with water. In some formulation practices, different raw materials will also be used in combination to perform different functions separately. For example, when developing rapid-emulsification cleansing systems, formulators may combine ingredients such as sorbeth 30 tetraoleate and peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate to balance makeup dissolving power, emulsification speed, and rinse-off performance. Within Mingya's ingredient portfolio, OILREE® MY943 is commonly used in cleansing oils and cleansing balms that require strong cleansing efficiency, while OILREE® MY945 is often selected to help improve self-emulsification behavior and enhance the rinse-off experience. In terms of system stability, some formulation designs will introduce Sebacic acid copolymer to help improve structural dispersion, make the emulsified system more uniform, and not prone to local oily residues. These raw materials will not change the product experience alone, but after they are combined, they will significantly affect the fluency of the entire makeup remover process. 2. Beyond Balm: The Rise of Multi-Texture Cleansers If makeup remover cream is the most typical counterattack category, then multi-texture makeup remover products are another obvious trend.Five years ago, most consumers were more accustomed to a single form of cleaning products, such as pure water or pure oil.But now, emulsified structures and gel-transformed structures are beginning to become more common. The core logic of such products is to continuously change their shape during use, thereby reducing the burden on use. In some system designs, O/W will be used to help the system form a more delicate dispersion structure after adding water, making the cleaning process smoother. At the same time, some structural adjustment components will also be combined to improve the fluidity and tactile touch of the system, so that the product has a better extension performance at different stages.This multi-structure design allows the makeup remover process to change from a single cleaning action to a more continuous experience. 3. Waterless Cleansing Oils Five years ago, the existence of makeup remover oil was actually not weak, but its threshold for use was equally obvious. Many consumers will feel that “the oily feeling is obvious” and “it is not easy to wash.”But now the makeup remover oil products have undergone significant changes. On the one hand, the raw material system is lighter and lighter. Some raw material systems will reduce the overall oiliness and make the ductility better. At the same time, the touch is improved, so that the skin is closer to a silky state during use, rather than a heavy sense of coverage. On the other hand, the choice of oils also pays more attention to structure. For example, an oil phase system such as Bis diglyceryl polyacyladipate 2 can maintain the ability to dissolve makeup while making the overall skin feel lighter. The essence of this kind of change is actually the redefinition of the oil itself-from the source of heavyness to part of the regulation of skin sensation. 4. Hybrid Makeup Removal Systems Another category with more obvious changes is the mixed makeup remover system. They no longer strictly distinguish between oil or water, but emphasize the intermediate state.For example, some systems will have both makeup remover and care characteristics, and the structural design is more complex. In these products, you can see the surface active system, which is used to enhance the overall dispersion ability. At the same time, it may also be used with glycol distearate to improve the texture and make the system show a more delicate visual and tactile performance. This change in product form is essentially reducing the complexity of consumers' perception of cleaning steps. 5. Functional Cleansing as Skincare The last change is actually beyond the makeup remover itself.More and more cleaning products are beginning to emphasize functionality.In other words, they are not just cleaning tools, but also bear a certain skin care experience. In some systems, antioxidant ingredients are added to blur the line between the cleansing process and skin care.At the same time, through the introduction of conditioning raw materials, some cleaning products have also begun to have a slight softening effect, so that the skin feels no longer just clean after washing, but comfortable. Final Thoughts Looking back at the past five years, the changes in the beauty cleaning industry are not the result of a certain explosive product, but the entire system is evolving simultaneously. Consumers began to pay attention: · Is the process easy? · Is the skin feeling comfortable? · And whether it is stable for long-term use? When these needs gradually became mainstream standards, many products that were not favored five years ago naturally re-entered the market center.

Where is the next billion-dollar opportunity in the sunscreen industry?
Where is the next billion-dollar opportunity in the sunscreen industry? A very obvious change in the skin care industry in recent years is that sunscreen is gradually changing from a seasonal single product to a basic step in daily skin care.Whether it is commuting, outdoor activities or going out for a short time, more and more consumers are beginning to get used to using sunscreen products every day. At the same time, the industry has also entered a new stage.Mainstream sunscreen products have been highly convergent in terms of core properties such as SPF50+, PA++++, broad-spectrum protection, waterproof and sweat-proof, and their basic capabilities have almost leveled off. In this context, the focus of market competition is shifting, from “who is more protective” to “who is better to use and more willing to be used every day.” Firstly: Non-sensitive skin sunscreen is becoming the number one growth breakthrough The core complaint of consumers about sunscreen is not that the protection is not enough, but that the use experience is not friendly enough, such as obvious greasy feeling, heavy upper face, whitening, or subsequent makeup rubbing mud. Therefore, “non-sensory sunscreen” is becoming one of the important product upgrade directions at present.The industry is trying to make sunscreen maintain a high degree of protection while minimizing the presence of the skin as much as possible, so that the use experience is close to a state that is applied but not felt. In this direction, the optimization of the basic grease system has become particularly critical.For example, cetyl palmitate is often used in sunscreen systems to improve ductility and smooth application, making the product easier to spread out, while reducing the heavy feeling and making the overall skin feel closer to the state of cream or light lotion. This kind of experience optimization is gradually becoming a key factor in consumer repurchase, not just the sun protection index itself. Secondly: The boundary between skin care and sunscreen is continuing to merge The rhythm of modern skin care is constantly being simplified, and multi-step skin care is gradually being replaced by “one-step” products.Consumers are more inclined to choose composite products that can provide basic skin care effects and have protective capabilities. As a result, sunscreen has undergone structural changes, from a single UV protection to a multi-functional skin care system, such as moisturizing, basic repair, antioxidant and other capabilities began to be integrated into the same formula. In this composite system, structural stability becomes very critical.For example, Ammonium acrylate copolymer is commonly used to enhance the consistency of film formation, so that a stable structure can be maintained after multiple activities are superimposed, and the problem of stratification or unstable efficacy can be reduced. This trend essentially means that sunscreen is changing from a “single-function product” to a “daily skin care solution”. Thirdly: Colored sunscreen is entering the alternative market for base makeup As the trend of light makeup continues to strengthen, more and more consumers are beginning to reduce the multi-layer base makeup steps such as liquid foundation and cream, and turn to simpler “sunscreen + skin tone modification” integrated products. As a result, colored sunscreen has entered a stage of rapid growth, and it is particularly prominent in commuting, daily light makeup, and plain makeup demand scenarios.Such products not only provide basic protection, but also even out the skin tone to a certain extent, modify dullness, and make the overall makeup look more natural. In the formula system, some structural raw materials are also improving their overall performance.For example, myristyl myristate, which is commonly used to improve the smoothness of the skin, make the product more skin-friendly and easier to push away, while reducing the phenomenon of stuck powder and mottling, and making the makeup effect more stable. Colored sunscreen is gradually eroding the traditional light base makeup market, which is a very clear structural change. Fourth: Scenario-based segmentation is accelerating the expansion of sunscreen The use scenarios of sunscreen are constantly fragmented, from traditional seaside and vacation scenarios to commuting, night running, fitness, cycling, and short-term outings and other lifestyles. The differences in the demand for sunscreen in different scenarios are also becoming more and more obvious.Sports scenes pay more attention to water resistance, sweat resistance and durability, commuting scenes emphasize lightness and comfort, while sensitive muscles pay more attention to low irritation and gentleness. In some gentle system designs, Stearalkonium chloride is commonly used to optimize the overall skin feeling and system stability, so that the product can reduce irritation while maintaining good comfort. Sunscreen is gradually changing from a “unified standard product” to a “scene-customized product”. Fifthly: Portable patching is becoming a new growth opportunity A long-standing problem in the sunscreen industry is the low implementation rate of replenishment.Although scientific skin care emphasizes the need for regular replenishment, most consumers in real life do not strictly implement it. The core reason is that traditional sunscreen products are not portable enough and the way to use them is not simple enough. Therefore, lightweight products such as sunscreen sticks, sunscreen creams, and air-cushion sunscreen have begun to grow rapidly.This kind of product is more suitable for carrying with you, and it is also more in line with the actual needs of fragmented patching. In portable systems, Peg 7 glyceryl cocoate is commonly used to improve the smoothness of the texture, make the product easier to apply evenly, while enhancing the overall skin-friendly experience, and make the replenishment process more natural and non-sticky. The essence of portable sunscreen is actually to lower the threshold of use, rather than simply changing the form. Overall: The industry is moving from parameter competition to experience system competition Overall, the competitive logic of the sunscreen industry is undergoing a significant shift, from the competition for protection parameters in the past to the system competition with user experience and scene adaptation as the core. Sensorless skin feeling, multi-function fusion, scene segmentation, and portable replenishment, these directions essentially point to the same problem: how to increase the frequency of daily use of sunscreen. In this process, the role of the raw material system is further enlarged. Basic raw materials such as cetyl palmitate and myristyl myristate are more used to build the foundation of skin feeling and texture, while system adjustment raw materials are used to improve overall stability and fineness. AI personalized sunscreen is becoming the next stage direction In addition to existing trends, AI-driven personalized sunscreen is becoming an early but potential new direction. Traditional sunscreen products use a unified formula, which is difficult to cover differences in different skin types, skin tones, and UV environments. In the future, based on the user's skin type, UV index, and life scenarios, it may be possible to match different textures, protection levels, and even architectural sunscreen solutions for different groups of people. In the system design, the choice of structure, including Water in oil emulsion, may also become one of the important foundations for personalized formulation in the future. End Overall, the growth of the sunscreen industry has not slowed down, but structural migration is constantly taking place. The industry is moving from the “era of parameter competition” to the “era of experience and scene competition”.Products with real growth potential in the future are not necessarily the most protective, but the kind of products that can be continuously used and naturally integrated into daily life.

Sunscreen Lotion Formula Guide: Stability, SPF & Skin Feel
Relying on our own green raw materials, we have innovatively built a three-phase step-by-step preparation process of A, B, and C, and landed a complete formula of O/W system SPF30+ sunscreen. The complete ratio has been tested by high temperature circulation, waterproof, and powder dispersion. The finished product is smooth and easy to push away, the film is dense, water-resistant and sweat-resistant, and the long-term protection is stable. It provides a mature technical solution for skin care and sunscreen oem brands that can be directly mass-produced. I.Oil in water sunscreen R&D industry pain points With the advantages of light texture, no burden on the skin, and adaptability to all skin types, Oil in water sunscreen sunscreen is the mainstream system of offline circulation and online mass sunscreen products, but there are three research and development shortcomings that are difficult to reconcile for a long time. First, it is difficult to disperse the physical sunscreen powder.Inorganic powders of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide can easily agglomerate and settle, which will not only reduce the actual sun protection index, but also cause whitening and mottling of mud. Ordinary emulsifying additives cannot fully cover the powder, and problems of stratification and precipitation occur frequently after storage. Second, there is no balance between refreshing skin feeling and moisturizing.The simple use of lightweight oils will cause dryness and tightness, and the addition of highly moisturizing oils will cause heavy and slimy, slow film formation, and easy to suffocate the skin after long-term wear. Third, the waterproof and sweat-resistant performance is weak.The continuity of film formation of conventional emollients is poor, the protective film is damaged after sweating and getting wet, and the UV blocking ability is greatly reduced, making it difficult to meet the needs of commuting and outdoor travel. In addition, the limited dissolution of chemical sunscreens, the high irritation of the formula, and the unstable stratification of the high and low temperature storage system are also the key to restricting the quality upgrade of sunscreens.The SPF30+ sunscreen formula raw materials we developed bear the multiple functions of moisturizing and soothing, powder dispersion, chemical sunscreen dissolution, moisturizing film formation, and emulsifying and stabilizing. II.Formula three-phase disassembly (1) Phase A Phase A is all water-soluble raw materials. As the continuous external phase of sunscreen, it is mainly responsible for long-term moisturizing, enhancing the hydration of the system, and assisting in stabilizing the emulsified structure. Specific components: Deionized water replenishes to 100%, glycerol 5%, hydroxyethyl cellulose 0.1%, OILREE® MY EG-26 (glycereth-26) 2%, sodium benzoate 0.25%. Glycereth-26 is a classic water-soluble moisturizing raw material of Mingya. It is a safe grade 1 green transparent liquid with a molecular weight of more than ten times that of ordinary glycerin. It moisturizes and fills but does not bring a sticky feeling. After application, the skin's fever and irritation are lower than that of traditional glycerin. It is suitable for products such as sunscreen that adhere to the skin for a long time. The 2% added amount is combined with glycerin to double lock in water and relieve the dryness and tightness caused by sunscreen. As a universal makeup moisturizer, it can take into account the daily moisturizing and repairing needs of sunscreen and is suitable for long-term use on dry skin and sensitive muscles.As an aqueous thickener, hydroxyethyl cellulose slightly improves the consistency of the aqueous phase and reduces the sedimentation rate of the powder. Sodium benzoate is a mild aqueous phase anticorrosive, inhibits the growth of microorganisms in the aqueous phase, and extends the product shelf life. (2) Phase B Phase B is the core sector of the entire sunscreen lotion, including emollient oils, sunscreen solvents, composite emulsifying systems, physical sunscreen powders, and chemical sunscreen additives, which directly determine the powder's dispersion ability, emulsifying stability, skin smoothness, and waterproof film-forming effect. Mingya's six self-developed raw materials are all concentrated here, and each performs its own duties in a coordinated compound. 1. NSOAF ™ MCT (capric capric triglyceride), add 2% Medium-chain triglyceride lightweight emollient oil, green grade colorless transparent liquid, excellent permeability of small molecular structure, can greatly reduce the irritation of the entire sunscreen formula to the skin, balance the burden of a high proportion of sunscreens.At the same time, it can be used as an oil coupling medium to reconcile the compatibility between silicon, synthetic esters, and mineral oils, so that the cream is evenly and smoothly, and a low addition of 2% can weaken the stuffy skin feeling of heavy oil and create a refreshing and watery texture. 2. NSOAF™1815 (ppg 15 stearyl ether), add 3% High-polarity special sunscreen solvents are the key raw materials for dissolving oil-soluble chemical sunscreens. They can couple polar and non-polar oils and fats to achieve miscibility between ethanol and mineral oil, optimize the liquid structure of the oil phase, avoid low-temperature precipitation and crystallization of chemical sunscreens, and ensure stable and undiminished SPF protection.It is used with silicon-based raw materials to further weaken the false smoothness and stickiness caused by silicone oil and enhance the lightness of application. 3. NSOAF™PTIS (pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate), add 3% High-performance emollient film-forming synthetic esters, yellow liquid texture, breathable and not stuffy, can build a continuous flexible protective film in the sunscreen system, which is the basis for the product's water resistance and sweat resistance.The unique molecular structure will not affect the viscosity and foam stability of the system, and there will be no thinning of the cream after long-term storage. After application, a thin and light hydrophobic layer will be formed on the surface of the skin to resist sweat and water scouring, and greatly extend the duration of sunscreen. 4. OILREE® MY6530 (glyceryl stearate se), add 2% Classic oil-in-water self-emulsifying stabilizer, white and yellowish particles, suitable for all kinds of O/W sunscreen systems, the recommended dosage range is 1-10%, the 2% addition of this formula can assist the composite emulsifying system to strengthen the oil-water interface film, improve the storage stability of high and low temperature, prevent the system from stratification and water analysis, and optimize the soft and waxy texture of the paste, push it away without resistance, and reduce stuck powder and mud. 5. PHSPTER™94TS (trilaureth-4 phosphate), add 1 amount% The core powder dispersion emulsifier of the formula has an HLB value of about 12. It is a mild anionic oil in water emulsifier, which is less irritating than traditional phosphate emulsifiers, and has a strong powder coating and phase transfer dispersion ability. It is a key component in the treatment of titanium dioxide inorganic sunscreen powder.It can completely wrap the powder particles to prevent agglomeration and precipitation, evenly disperse inorganic sun protection, and improve the actual sun protection index, so that there is no whitish and no graininess when applied. The 1% addition amount is used with other emulsified raw materials to take into account the dispersion power and the system temperature. 6. PEOFA™ MY986 (polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate), add 1 amount% Plant-based oil-in-water emulsifying ester, yellow liquid, suitable for waterproof and sunscreen system, can be perfectly compatible with the main oil-in-water emulsifier, strengthen the density of the interface film, assist in improving the integrity of the waterproof film, while softening the body of the cream, balance the slight dryness caused by the emulsifier, and adapt to the development of special sunscreen formulas for infants and sensitive skin. In addition to self-developed raw materials, phase B compound cyclopentamethylene dimethyl siloxane 3%, cetyl polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol-10/1 polydimethylsiloxane 2%, titanium dioxide 3%, cetyl alcohol 3%, ethylhexyl salicylate 3%, ethylhexyl methoxy cinnamic acid 5%, diethylhexylphenol methoxyphenyl triazine 5%.Silicon-based raw materials optimize silky skin feeling, three types of chemical sunscreen are combined with inorganic titanium dioxide to build broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, which completely covers the daily ultraviolet band, and cetyl alcohol regulates the consistency of the cream to avoid the system from being too thin and flowing. (3) Phase C Phase C contains 0.15% phenoxyethanol, which needs to be cooled to below 45℃ before being put into the system. As an oil-soluble and mild anticorrosive, it supplements the antibacterial ability of the whole system. It is combined with Phase A sodium benzoate to form a broad-spectrum anticorrosive system. It is non-irritating and will not destroy the emulsion and powder dispersion structure formed in the early stage. It is suitable for sunscreen products for sensitive skin. III.Overall performance of finished products Relying on the three-phase scientific compatibility of A/B/C, the four core advantages of this SPF30+O/W sunscreen product are outstanding: 1. The powder is evenly dispersed and there is no whitish mud.Trilaureth-4 phosphate is completely coated with inorganic titanium dioxide, stored without precipitation and layering, the upper face is light and translucent, there will be no heavy mask, whitish mottling, and the primer will not rub mud before makeup. 2. The skin feels smooth and refreshing, long-lasting moisturizing and not tight.Glycereth-26 is used with caprylic/capric triglyceride for multiple moisturizing and moisturizing. After the film is formed, it is non-sticky and oily. Oily skin is used in summer without the burden of stuffy skin, and dry skin does not dry out with makeup for a long time. 3. Waterproof and sweat-resistant, long-lasting and stable protection.Pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate and polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate work together to build a dense hydrophobic protective film. Daily sweating and short-term wading will not quickly release the film. It can be used for outdoor commuting and short-distance swimming. 4. The system is gentle and stable, suitable for many types of skin types.The full set of emulsified and emollient raw materials are all green and low-irritating grade, without strong irritating surface activity and oil. Sensitive muscles, students, and pregnant people can use them with peace of mind. After the high and low temperature cycle test, the cream is uniform without stratification, no crystallization and precipitation, and the mass production has a high fault tolerance rate. Conclusion From the water-soluble moisturizing base of phase A to the soothing base, to the Mingya raw materials of phase B to complete the multiple core functions of powder dispersion, emulsification stability, moisturizing, waterproof, and sunscreen dissolution, to the C-phase low-temperature anticorrosive fine blending, this SPF30+ oil-in-water sunscreen formula relies on standardized three-phase production technology to effectively solve the multiple industry pain points of traditional sunscreen powder that is easy to precipitate, sticky, weak waterproof, and highly irritating.The complete set of formula is up to standard in all dimensions of skin feeling, protection, and storage stability. It can be used as a cheap commuter sunscreen for the public, and it can also be used to fine-tune the components to upgrade the high-end skin-nourishing sunscreen series.

The partner of the company has a double master's degree in petroleum engineering and marketing. He is responsible for the distribution and supply chain management of various products all year round. He is mainly responsible for the company's warehousing and logistics, project landing and daily execution. The division of labor between the two is very clear. One is responsible for market development and product planning, and the other is responsible for supply chain and logistics construction. The cooperation is very smooth, and the company's overall business closed loop is very perfect. Business direction and market layout The customer's core business is the distribution of cosmetics and personal care raw materials, covering a wide range of product categories, including: -Raw materials for ester emulsification system -Silicon and liquid silicon hair care raw materials -Moisturizing and functional skin care ingredients -OEM/ODM OEM supporting supply -System of raw materials related to personal cleaning and home care In addition, they have long-term cooperation with many Korean raw material manufacturers, mainly introducing moisturizing and skin care active raw materials for the development of various skin care and hair care products. The downstream customers of customers are mainly various skin care and hair care brands, as well as major OEM foundries, which belong to a multi-category, multi-scene synchronous distribution model. Key product communication 1. MY925 emulsifying system products MY925 (ceteareth-25) is a very core oil-in-water emulsified raw material. Customers are already using it stably, and the annual usage is about 24MT. This emulsifier technology is very mature, and it is very suitable for making stable skin care lotions. There are many core advantages: -Good ion resistance, acid and alkali resistance -After long-term storage, the viscosity of the system is very stable and basically does not change. -The emulsified system made out has a delicate texture and a uniform and good-looking overall appearance. -The conventional addition amount can be controlled at 1-5% This raw material is mainly used in skin care products such as basic lotions and creams, and is a very important basic raw material in customer formulas. 2. MY940 solubilizing system products MY940 is an optimized and improved raw material based on peg 40 hydrogenated castor oil. It is mainly used for solubilizing and adapting to various transparent texture products. In this meeting, we focused on this product. It is very suitable for functional care products and essential oil products. The specific advantages are as follows: -Can be used for mouthwash and various personal care liquid products -Cold water can be dispersed, and there will be no gumming or clumping. -The solubilized system has high transparency and is stable for long-term placement - Will not affect the smell and taste of the product itself -Conventional use ratio 0.2-5% This raw material is particularly adaptable and can be used in most functional formulas, especially for solubilizing flavors, plant extracts and various active ingredients. 3.

Industry trends and market observation Judging from the content of this communication, several obvious trends can be seen in the Indonesian personal care raw material market.: First, everyone now prefers systematic raw materials, no longer just looking at a certain function of a single raw material.Customers pay more attention to the stability and instability of the entire formula, and whether the various systems of emulsification, solubilization, and cleaning can be adapted to each other and in place. Second, the boundaries between cleansing and skin care are becoming less and less obvious. Makeup remover, cleansing, and skin care are slowly integrated together, and the market needs more complex formula products. Third, the market for hair care raw materials and silicon raw materials has been steadily rising. Liquid silicon is improving hair smoothness, gloss and film-forming protection. There is no better alternative raw material for the time being. In addition, now in skin care formulas, lightweight ester oils such as Caprylic capric triglyceride and C12 15 alkyl benzoate are used more and more, mainly to optimize skin feeling and make the formula system more stable. Follow-up cooperation arrangements At the end of the meeting, we finalized the follow-up sample cooperation process with the customer: Next, we will connect with customers by email, confirm the products they want to test, and then arrange to send samples. After the customer receives the sample, he will do the formula testing and verification in-house by himself, according to the measured results to see if the product is suitable, and then decide whether to formally cooperate and purchase in bulk. This customer is a typical result-oriented, testing first and then cooperating. All procurement and cooperation decisions are basically based on laboratory test data. Meeting summary This is the first comprehensive and systematic product docking between our two sides, and we have basically figured out the direction of follow-up cooperation: Emulsified raw materials are already in use by MY925 customers and have a stable basis for cooperation; there is still a lot of room for expansion of cleaning and makeup remover products; the application potential of solubilized raw materials in functional care products is very good.At the same time, the customer's Korean supply chain and Indonesia's local distribution channels can complement each other, and the advantages of cooperation are obvious. In general, this customer has sufficient experience, clear thinking, and good product planning.Next, we will follow the rhythm of sample testing and formula verification, step by step to promote product landing and in-depth cooperation.

Why is Sorbitan widely used in sunscreen systems?
Why is Sorbitan widely used in sunscreen systems? Sorbitan's raw materials have unique multi-functional advantages in the field of cosmetic formula research and development, taking into account the stability of the emulsifying system, the construction of the internal structure of the oil phase, and the improvement of the water resistance of the finished product. Three core roles.At present, mainstream sunscreen products on the market are basically equipped with oil-in-water and oil-in-water mixed emulsification systems. During daily use, the skin sweats, rinses with water, and infiltrates its own sebum will destroy the surface sunscreen film, directly weakening the protective effect. Sorbitan ester can just solve this kind of actual use pain point.In addition to sunscreen products, the complete set of raw materials can also be adapted to various cosmetics such as skin care, base makeup, and body care, and the application scenarios are very wide. The core reason why Sorbitan is widely used in sunscreen systems Why are Sorbitan raw materials suitable for various sunscreen formula systems? 1) Oleophilic characteristics Sorbitan is an oleophilic emulsified raw material. Its own HLB value is low. The long fatty acid chain attached to the molecule can be firmly attached to the formula oil, forming a dense and continuous interfacial film on the contact surface of the oil and water phases. It is also an essential core substrate for the deployment of mature water in oil emulsifier, or as an auxiliary stable structure of the O/W system. When put in sunscreen products, this structural advantage can bring multiple practical effects. It can reduce the loss of sunscreen raw materials caused by rinsing with water. After sweating, the ultraviolet filter material will not be allowed to spread at will, and the sunscreen protection ability will not fluctuate significantly during the application process.If a brand wants to create a sunscreen product with waterproof properties, this raw material is also an essential component in the formula and an important foundation to support the claim of related efficacy. 2) Stable long-term SPF protection performance For sunscreen emulsions to play a stable protective role, organic and inorganic sunscreen powders need to be evenly dispersed throughout the system.Sorbitan can wrap every oil droplet carrying sunscreen. It is not easy for oil droplets to fuse and agglomerate under high-speed stirring and storage in high and low temperature environments. After being applied to the skin, a thick and uniform protective film is formed. The finished product is stored for a long time or used on the face for a long time, and the sun protection index will not drop significantly, effectively avoiding the loss of efficacy caused by formula stratification and powder precipitation. 3) Excellent adaptability to the high-oil additive formula Most sunscreen products will add a large number of functional oil-phase raw materials, including all kinds of commonly used organic sunscreens, emollient oils, silicon-based smooth raw materials and film-forming additives. The system is often used with cetyl palmitate to synergistically adjust the moisturizing degree of the cream.Sorbitan has good compatibility with non-polar oils, synthetic ester oils, and hydrophobic sunscreen filter materials. Even if the amount of oil added is high, the entire system can still maintain a stable state, which is suitable for the deployment of high-oil sunscreen products. 4) Wide adjustable range of HLB There is a clear distinction between the polarity intervals of different types of sorbitan esters · smoothness · The paste grasps the feel · Residual feeling of skin after application · Overall water and sweat resistance level Practical application of OILREE® Sorbitan in sunscreen formulas OILREE®MY S40 INCI name: Sorbitan palmitate This raw material has outstanding shaping ability and its own melting point is relatively higher. Adding it to the formula can improve the fullness and viscosity of the cream, and further improve the film-forming integrity of O/W sunscreen products. It is more suitable for creating a nourishing sunscreen with a rich and thick texture and a stable cream state. OILREE®MY S60 INCI name: Sorbitan stearate It belongs to the classic emulsified substrate used in sunscreen formulas for many years. It has a solid emulsifying ability and excellent long-term stability under a high-oil system. It can also achieve good synergy with fatty alcohol and waxy raw materials. It is suitable for the traditional sunscreen cream formula that pursues long-term storage and stability, and it is also the most commonly used general-purpose raw material for daily proofing in daily chemical factories. OILREE®MY S80 Raw material INCI: Sorbitan oleate The molecular fluidity is stronger, which brings excellent spreading ability to the formula, optimizes the feeling of applying on the face, reduces the feeling of pulling, and makes it easier to make sunscreen products with a refreshing and light texture. A light-feeling sunscreen lotion suitable for daily commuting, which fits the skin care needs of the public who prefer a refreshing skin feeling. OILREE®MY S85 INCI name: Sorbitan trioleate It is the preferred raw material for the deployment of water-resistant formulas. The oil-phase skeleton has outstanding ability to build. After compounding a small amount of Peg 7 glyceryl cocoate, it can further enhance the product's ability to resist sweat and sebum dissolution. The waterproof and sun protection system that focuses on outdoor travel and sports scenes will give priority to this raw material. A set of sunscreen products with excellent overall performance usually adopts a variety of compound ideas, using Sorbitan to build the basic cream structure, polymer emulsifiers to strengthen the overall stability, with film-forming raw materials to extend the makeup holding time, and finally with a variety of ultraviolet filter materials to achieve stable SPF protection capabilities, taking into account the multiple needs of texture, stability, and use tolerance. Summary (core application logic) Sorbitan can be widely used in sunscreen formulas, and its comprehensive advantages are very intuitive.Such raw materials can build a firm and complete oil-water interface film inside the oil phase, enhance the overall water- and sweat-resistant use effect of the finished product, stabilize the uniform dispersion of the sunscreen powder inside the system, and rely on a variety of differentiated models to freely adjust the product texture, from heavy nourishing cream to light and light moisturizing lotion can be achieved, in real use scenarios such as sweating, water-stained, and long-term storage, a stable sunscreen protection effect is continuously maintained. Extension plate Not only is sun protection a single product, OILREE® Sorbitan series raw materials can play a role in all kinds of skin care and makeup products, and the underlying adaptation logic is highly interlinked with the sun protection formula.The main high-moisturizing moisturizing creams and large-capacity body creams promoted in autumn and winter will add a lot of emollient oils, which are prone to oil-water separation and rapid shedding of the surface moisturizing film. A compound of S60 can stabilize the high-ester oil phase system and extend the moisturizing time on the surface of the skin.Adding a small amount of S85 to base makeup products such as liquid foundation and cream can relieve the mottled makeup problem caused by the dissolution of sebum in the afternoon, and enhance the ability of the powder to blend into the skin.

Cyclopentasiloxane vs Isododecane: Which Carrier Works Better in Silicone Elastomers?
Cyclopentasiloxane vs Isododecane: Which Carrier Works Better in Silicone Elastomers? I.Foreword: The carrier system is the key to determining the actual performance of the silicone elastomer formula In the field of cosmetic formula research and development, silicone elastomers have always been the core raw materials for creating skin sensation, modifying skin texture, and enhancing makeup effect. They are also widely used functional components in the categories of base makeup, sunscreen, and makeup primer.When most formulators choose silicone elastomer raw materials, they will give priority to the performance parameters, molecular structure and gel state of the crosslinked polymer itself. They repeatedly compare the differences in use caused by different crosslinking systems, but often ignore one decisive part-the volatile carrier system. In the design of various makeup and skin care formulas, reasonable matching of Emulsifier makeup can further integrate the elastomer system with other raw materials and adapt to the product needs of different dosage forms.Focus on the two commonly used carriers Cyclopentasiloxane and Isododecane to share in detail, and talk about the different performance of the elastomer system constructed by different carriers in terms of use scenarios, skin feeling, and makeup effect. II.SMOICON® MY652: Elastomer system with Cyclopentasiloxane as carrier SMOICON® MY652 is a silicone elastomer gel with Cyclopentasiloxane as the dispersion carrier, and it is also a representative raw material in the soft focus and silky skin texture route.Relying on the physical and chemical properties of Cyclopentasiloxane itself, this elastomer gel has built a distinctive style of use system, which has fixed application scenarios in the fields of skin care and makeup. 1. Overall characteristics of the system Relying on the natural properties of Cyclopentasiloxane, the most outstanding feature of the MY652 complete system is the outstanding smoothness of getting started.There is almost no resistance during the application process, and the smoothness of pushing away is the effect that many formulas pursue.At the same time, this carrier has a moderate volatilization rate, will not dry out instantly, nor will it stay on the surface of the skin for a long time and cause stickiness.The overall texture is light to use, the skin feeling is released naturally when applied, and the ductility is further magnified. 2. Smear texture performance Cyclopentasiloxane has excellent spreading ability, which is directly reflected in the product application link.After products containing MY652 come into contact with the skin, they can quickly extend on the skin of the face and body, and they can be spread into a uniform thin layer in a short period of time, without local accumulation or rubbing.While the carrier spreads quickly, a silky film will immediately form, improving the roughness and irregularities on the surface of the skin. For people with daily makeup, the drag and drop feeling when applying makeup is a point that affects the experience very much, and after this carrier is matched with an elastomer, it can greatly reduce the frictional resistance in the early stage of application.As Cyclopentasiloxane slowly evaporates, the oily feeling on the surface gradually fades, and finally leaves a soft powder touch on the surface of the skin, which is refreshing and not stuffy.Whether it is used alone as a pre-makeup product, or superimposed on subsequent foundations and loose powders, the natural texture of this transition will not conflict with subsequent products. 3. Visual and optical modification effects From the point of view of visual performance, the gel network formed by MY652 has high permeability, which will not cause the product to appear whitish or gray, and retains the natural luster of the skin itself.The elastomer polymer is very finely dispersed in the carrier, and the particle uniformity is excellent, and there will be no large particle agglomeration that affects the texture of the makeup surface.It is also this delicate distribution state that gives it excellent soft-focus dermabrasion ability, which can gently modify pores, superficial fine lines, and weaken imperfections on the surface of the skin. 4. Summary of comprehensive skin feeling indicators Characteristic Dimension Actual Performance Spreadability Excellent; spreads effortlessly with no resistance Drying Speed Moderately fast; evaporates at a steady, gradual pace III.SMOICON® MY613: Elastomer system with Isododecane as the carrier SMOICON® MY613 uses Isododecane as a volatile carrier, and is also made with polydimethylsiloxane crosslinked polymer.Unlike the previous Cyclopentasiloxane system, which took the route of silky soft focus, the physical and chemical properties of Isododecane itself have allowed the entire elastomer system to develop in the direction of strong makeup, high matte, and friction resistance. It is also the core choice in long-lasting makeup formulas.The two carriers are only different in basic raw materials, but the final product style and applicable scenarios are completely distinguished. 1. Overall characteristics of the system Compared with the Cyclopentasiloxane system, the elastomer system created by Isododecane has better compatibility with various grease raw materials. In the formula of compounding a variety of grease components, the stability and adaptability are more advantageous.The core positioning of the entire system is biased towards long-lasting makeup, and it has been optimized for scenes such as sweating, friction, and rubbing. The anti-metastasis ability is one of its highlights. At the same time, the dry texture brought by this carrier will be stronger, the overall skin feeling tends to be extremely matte, and the oily feeling is suppressed very low.Many makeup products that focus on all-weather makeup, waterproof and sweat-proof will give priority to MY613 to build a basic skin feeling system. 2. Smear texture performance The initial skin feeling brought about by Isododecane will be more dry, and the refreshing texture can be clearly felt as soon as it is applied to the skin, with almost no oily feeling.After the product comes into contact with the skin, the styling speed is very fast, and a stable film can be formed on the surface in a short period of time. There will be no long-term sticky hands and sticky problems, and the overall stickiness is greatly weakened. Relying on the combination of carrier and elastomer, the matte effect of MY613 is very outstanding, it can effectively absorb excess oil on the surface of the skin, and create a matte makeup effect from the application stage.For people who prefer matte makeup and hate shiny and shiny, this skin feeling will be very suitable.Although the initial dryness is stronger, its ductility is still at a high level, and there will be no problems of unwinding or stuck lines when applied normally, but the overall touch is obviously different from the silky feeling of Cyclopentasiloxane. 3. Film-forming properties The elastomer network structure formed by MY613 on the surface of the skin is tighter, the arrangement between the polymers is compact, and the surface film formed has a higher density.This firming membrane structure directly enhances the adhesion between the raw material and the skin. The membrane body fits firmly on the surface of the skin and is not easy to fall off due to facial activity, hand touch, and sweating. It is precisely because of the excellent film-forming adhesion that the product's makeup holding time, sweat resistance, and anti-rubbing ability have been significantly improved.In scenes such as high temperature environments in summer, outdoor sports, and long commutes with makeup, the advantages of this type of system will be fully demonstrated. The makeup surface is not easy to be mottled, take off makeup, and smudge, and can maintain a complete makeup state for a long time. 4. Summary of comprehensive skin feeling indicators Characteristic Dimension Actual Performance Spreadability Excellent; applies smoothly Drying Speed Extremely fast; sets quickly to a matte finish IV.Analysis of core differences 1. Volatilization rhythm difference The volatilization process of Cyclopentasiloxane is gentle and coherent, and the whole process is gradual.From application to complete dryness, the rhythm transitions evenly, and the skin feeling slowly shifts from silky and oily to soft and powdery. The change process is very natural and will not cause the skin to feel suddenly uncomfortable.This gradual volatilization method is also an important reason why it can create a soft and natural makeup effect. The volatilization mode of Isododecane is very different. Its volatilization process is simpler. It volatilizes quickly in the early stage, and the surface surface is dried in a short time, and the volatilization curve drops significantly.It can enter a completely dry state soon after application, without a long transition stage, which is the core reason why it can quickly form a matte film and reduce stickiness.The different volatilization rhythm directly determines the overall experience direction of the two products after getting started. 2. Polymer network arrangement status The different molecular structure of the carrier will affect the arrangement of the silicone elastomer crosslinked polymer in the system.In the Cyclopentasiloxane system, the gel network structure formed by the elastomer is looser and more transparent, with more internal voids, and the overall preference is for a light and fluffy state.This open network structure has a softer touch and better light penetration, and ultimately presents a soft and natural visual effect. In the Isododecane system, the elastomer polymers are stacked more tightly with each other, the entire gel network is tight and solid, there are fewer internal voids, and the structural density is higher.The compact network not only makes the adhesion of the film stronger, but also allows light to form diffuse reflection on the surface, enhancing the visual effect of the matte matte surface, while further improving the stability of the overall structure and making the film more resistant to friction. 3. Interaction with the skin When the two systems act on the surface of the skin, the dominant source of skin sensation is completely different.The Cyclopentasiloxane system mainly relies on the smoothness of silicone itself as the core experience. The first thing you feel when you touch the skin is the silky and soft touch unique to silicon raw materials. The powder body feeling is gradually manifested after subsequent volatilization, and the overall preference is silky. Mainly, supplemented by powder. The Isododecane system is dominated by powder and matte texture. The dry powder touch can be felt at the beginning of application, and the smoothness of silicone is weakened, highlighting the matte and dry experience throughout the process.In simple terms, one focuses on silky and soft light, and the other focuses on matte and dryness. The skin type and use preference groups are also naturally divided.When using Water in oil emulsifier to deploy W/O emulsifier-type products, the adaptation logic of the two carriers and the emulsifying system also needs to be flexibly adjusted in combination with this skin-feeling difference. V.Product series division recommendations: Route 1: Soft Focus Texture System The main Cyclopentasiloxane carrier route, the core advantages are soft focus dermabrasion, silky ductility, natural soft makeup effect, and light texture.This series is uniformly aimed at lightweight skin care, daily light makeup, and soft base makeup products, and is suitable for consumer needs that pursue a natural skin feeling and no heavy film. Route 2: Long-lasting makeup matte System The main Isododecane carrier route, the core advantages are powerful oil control, extreme matte, waterproof and sweat-proof, anti-transfer, and long-lasting makeup.This series focuses on professional makeup, outdoor protection, and special products for oily skin. It focuses on use scenarios where makeup is worn for a long time, high temperature and sweating. It is the core choice for long-lasting makeup formulas.

What is OILREE® MY92 (Ceteareth-2)? What are its application advantages?
What is OILREE® MY92 (Ceteareth-2)? Emulsifiers are one of the core raw materials that determine product texture, skin feel and storage stability.Many consumers will find that some skin care products and cosmetics are prone to oil-water separation, thinning texture, rough paste, ph imbalance and other problems after being stored for a period of time. Most of this is related to the insufficient adaptability and stability of the emulsifying system.With the continuous improvement of the public's requirements for the quality of personal care products, emulsified raw materials with both weather resistance, adaptability and texture advantages have gradually become a popular choice for formula research and development.As a high-quality emulsified raw material suitable for beauty and personal care products, OILREE® MY92 has solid overall performance. At the same time, the raw material can be used in combination with OILREE® MY972 to form a classic emulsifying system to further enhance the overall stability and fineness of the formula. The core ingredient of OILREE® MY92 is ceteareth 2, which has a pure white waxy appearance. It is routinely packaged in standardized packaging of 20kg per barrel, which is convenient for storage and suitable for industrial mass production. It fits the large-scale production needs of cosmetics and personal care products.As a highly adaptable basic emulsified raw material, MY92 itself has excellent basic emulsifying, dispersing, and stabilizing capabilities, and can quickly and evenly blend the aqueous and oily raw materials in the formula to build a uniform and stable basic emulsified structure. Adding electrolytes, acidic whitening ingredients, and alkaline repairing ingredients to the formula is prone to problems such as demulsification, stratification, agglomeration, and precipitation, which not only affects the appearance of the product, but also directly leads to the inactivation of the active ingredients and shortens the shelf life of the product.MY92, on the other hand, has excellent ion and acid-base resistance characteristics, and can resist various ion disturbances and acid-base environmental fluctuations in the formula system.Even in highly active formulas with complex ingredients, the overall emulsified structure can still be stabilized to ensure uniform and uniform paste state.If you pursue the ultimate stable formula effect, it can be used in combination with MY972. After the combination of the two, the viscosity stability of the system can be further strengthened, so that the finished product is not easy to thinning, oiling, and agglomeration after long-term storage, creating a delicate emulsion with excellent texture. The overall addition amount of the formula is only 1-5%, and the dosage is streamlined and cost-effective. In the application of skin care categories, MY92's adaptation scenarios cover a comprehensive range of mainstream skin care products such as lotions, creams, essences, body creams, hand creams, and moisturizing creams.The core of skin care products pursues delicate skin feeling and long-lasting moisturizing. MY92 can make the finished cream soft, waxy and transparent. When applied, it is smooth to push away and absorbs quickly. There will be no sticky and heavy film feeling left, taking into account the refreshing skin feeling and moisturizing effect.In order to further improve the moisturizing performance of the product, the formulator will add tribehenin to the system for compound matching.Ttribehenin has excellent moisturizing, water-locking and film-forming capabilities, and can form a light and breathable moisturizing film on the surface of the skin, which locks in skin moisture for a long time.When used in combination with MY92, the two raw materials have excellent compatibility, and there will be no rejection of raw materials and unstable system. It can not only enhance the moisturizing and repairing effect of skin care products, but also completely retain the stability of the emulsifying system. It is suitable for creating skin care products with high moisturizing and dry skin in autumn and winter. In addition to skin care products, personal care products are also the core application of MY92, including conditioners, hair masks, body care creams, moisturizers and other products can be widely used.The formula structure of hair care products is generally more complex, and a variety of functional ingredients such as softening, moisturizing, repairing, and antistatic are often added at the same time. After mixing a variety of raw materials, the system is prone to turbidity, stratification, flocculation and other problems, and the stability of emulsified raw materials is extremely demanding.With its strong dispersion stability performance, MY92 can evenly disperse all kinds of active and conditioning ingredients in the care formula, firmly stabilizing the overall system.In the research and development of high-end hair care products, Stearalkonium chloride is a commonly used high-quality hair conditioning ingredient, which can effectively improve hair dryness, frizz, knotted and bifurcated, dry and dull, and enhance hair smoothness and fluffiness.Synergistic collocation, the emulsifying system is stable and not layered, and the conditioning ingredients can be evenly attached to the surface of the hair, so that the finished product can not only have a delicate and high-quality ointment, but also achieve excellent hair care effect. Makeup products have more stringent requirements for the stability, fineness, and compatibility of raw materials. Base makeup products such as liquid foundation, cream, makeup cream, and light concealer not only require the cream to be delicate and particle-free, but also require the powder to be evenly dispersed, the makeup to be obedient, and long-term storage without agglomeration and layering.Ordinary emulsified raw materials are difficult to adapt to powders, pigments, and functional additives in makeup, and they are prone to powder accumulation, rough paste, and long-term deterioration.With its excellent emulsifying and dispersing ability, MY92 can evenly wrap makeup powder particles to avoid powder agglomeration, make the finished cream delicate and silky, and apply makeup lightly and obediently, effectively reducing the problem of stuck powder and floating powder. In view of the research and development needs of long-lasting makeup and highly active makeup formulas, Sebacic acid copolymer has excellent film-forming properties, adhesion and formula compatibility. When added to makeup products, it can form a light and breathable protective film on the surface of the skin, effectively enhancing the makeup-holding power of makeup, reducing makeup removal and mottling problems.At the same time, it can also reconcile the compatibility of various raw materials in the formula, and avoid the problems of precipitation, stratification, and failure caused by the mixing of multiple raw materials.After using with MY92, the entire formula system is more stable and balanced. The makeup products created have a delicate skin feeling, long-lasting makeup effect and high-quality stability, and are suitable for daily commuting, long-term makeup, outdoor travel and other use scenarios. The core competitiveness of MY92's market is also reflected in its flexible formula adaptability and gentle product attributes.The addition range of this raw material is very wide, and the addition amount of 1-5% can be flexibly adapted to different dosage forms such as light and moisturizing lotions, heavy and moisturizing creams, and nourishing care products. At the same time, it belongs to a non-ionic emulsifying system with mild properties, low irritation, and no excess residual burden. Looking at the current development trend of the beauty and personal care industry, efficacy, gentleness, and stabilization have become the core development directions. Various niche efficacy products, customized skin care products, and segmented scenario care products have emerged in an endless stream, and the overall performance requirements of emulsified raw materials continue to increase.MY92 accurately fits the development needs of the industry, and has multiple advantages such as acid and alkali resistance, ion resistance, strong texture adaptability, mild and safe, and long-term stability. At the industrial production level, the physical characteristics of MY92's white wax are suitable for all kinds of cosmetic production equipment. It has convenient feeding, fast dissolution speed, and high mixing uniformity. There will be no production problems such as agglomeration and insoluble, uneven feeding, and residual waste. It can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce mass production losses and quality control risks. Overall, OILREE® MY92 is an all-round emulsified raw material that takes into account practicality, stability, cost performance and safety. It can be used in a single dose to meet the emulsification needs of conventional beauty and personal care products. With MY972 as needed, it can be advanced to create an ultra-stable and extremely delicate high-end emulsifying system. In general, this high-quality emulsifier is right, which can bring consumers a milder, more delicate and stable experience.

In addition to these three key raw materials, in the category of emollient ester oils, 2EHP, ININ, and CE08 with large market circulation are available from stock, and test samples are available. Confidentiality agreement During the negotiations, the Indian side mentioned that they have been deeply engaged in the beauty raw material industry for many years, and their business philosophy is biased towards long-termism. They do not pursue short-term flow-based cooperation, and they value stable and sustainable supply chain binding.The other party refers to its own mature cooperation model with domestic raw material companies, starting from small single samples and long-term testing, and gradually developing into in-depth exclusive cooperation after deep cultivation. The procurement volume continues to double, and we also hope to establish a long-term partnership of the same depth with us. In terms of the details of cooperation, the two sides also fully respect each other's industry models.Local Indian companies are generally accustomed to the integrated operation of raw materials, formulas, and finished products, and pay attention to the independent control of the whole chain. The domestic beauty raw material industry is mostly subdivided and specialized in research and production. The two sides respect each other's industry differences, do not worry about different models, and always focus on product quality and formula adaptability to promote cooperation.The Indian side recognizes the quality of our products, and at the same time honestly gives optimization suggestions, hoping that we will continue to iterate the formula process.The two sides reached a consensus on technical normalization and docking. The technical teams of the two sides can communicate and linkage at any time in the future, and continuously optimize product performance based on the feedback of the terminal formula application. The relaxed and harmonious communication atmosphere also makes the foundation of cooperation between the two sides more stable. Testing and logistics landing promotion For the Indian side, the stability of raw materials is the core of the safety of the terminal formula, so their raw material testing process is extremely rigorous and standardized.Starting from the receipt of the samples, the Indian side will first deploy the corresponding formula in the laboratory, carefully evaluate the skin feeling, compatibility and adaptation scenarios of the raw materials, and then pass the 6-month long-term stability test and the high temperature accelerated aging test, and then carry out cross-testing of multiple batches of samples to check the consistency of the data. After all the tests are passed, a small batch of trial production will be carried out to verify the terminal landing effect.The cycle of the complete set from the sample to the formal batch purchase is about 6-12 months, and the rigorous process guarantees the stability and safety of the subsequent mass production formula to the greatest extent. From initial contact to offline face-to-face in-depth negotiations, from product screening and performance verification to channel planning and long-term layout, this meeting across mountains and seas has made China and India two companies deeply engaged in the beauty industry closely connected.We respond to India's expectations for high-quality domestic raw materials with standard international high-quality raw materials, sufficient production capacity reserves, and a sincere attitude of cooperation. India provides a high-quality platform for our overseas layout with mature overseas market channels, strict quality control system, and long-term cooperation concept. In the future, with the smooth advancement of testing of a variety of core raw materials and the gradual landing of bulk procurement, the cooperation between the two sides will steadily expand from more category cooperation, from sample testing to stable mass production and supply, from unfamiliar docking to deep-bound multinational partners, and ultimately achieve mutual benefit and win-win situation in the beauty industry chain of the two countries. The early summer sun shone through the glass windows of the hotel lobby and sprinkled on the picture of the two sides shaking hands. This offline meeting did not have a gorgeous ceremony, but it was full of sincerity and expectation.And this cross-border trust will also become the starting point for cooperation between the two sides. In the coming days, it will slowly grow and bear win-win fruits.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate vs Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate: What's the Difference?
Polyglyceride raw materials have many advantages such as natural origin, low irritation, and wide adaptation range, and are widely used in various personal care products such as cleansing, skin care, and care.Among them, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate (PEOFA™ MYPG1210) and Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate (PEOFA™MYPG1410) are two classic raw materials frequently used by formulators. The two have the same decameric glycerol hydrophilic skeleton, and the basic physical and chemical properties are similar. The industrial packaging is 20kg/barrel, and the formula adapts to the addition amount in the range of 1%-4%, and they are both safe and green daily chemical raw materials. The only core difference between the two raw materials lies in the length of the fatty acid carbon chain at the hydrophobic end and the subtle molecular structure differences, which allow them to form completely complementary characteristics in foam performance, cleansing ability, skin feeling effect, and formula adaptation scenarios. It is also the key reason why daily chemical formulas will not completely replace each other.In order to allow industry practitioners to more clearly distinguish the application value of the two raw materials, this article will explain the core characteristics and beauty personal care application scenarios of MYPG1210 and MYPG1410 respectively.At the same time, the two raw materials have excellent compatibility, and can be stably combined with common emollient components such as cetyl palmitate, effectively optimizing the overall texture of the formula system. PEOFA™ MYPG1210(Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate) MYPG1210 is a decameric glyceride synthesized by laurate esterification. It has a C12 short carbon chain molecular structure, high overall molecular activity and excellent water solubility. It is a mild nonionic surfactant that focuses on refreshing, clean and efficient foaming.Relying on the structural advantages of short carbon chains, the raw material has a fast molecular stretching speed after encountering water, and can quickly absorb oil, dust and light makeup residues on the surface of the skin. The foaming response speed is very outstanding, and it can quickly generate a fluffy and rich foam system. The cleaning efficiency is stable and suitable for daily deep cleaning scenarios. In terms of skin feeling performance, the biggest feature of MYPG1210 is that it is refreshing and residue-free. After cleaning, it will not form a heavy protective film on the surface of the skin. It can quickly detach from the surface of the skin. After washing, the skin is transparent and dry, and there will be no sticky and stuffy skin at all. It is highly suitable for oily, oily skin and summer high temperature scenes. Cleaning needs.For consumers whose pores are easy to clog and their skin is prone to oil, this raw material can achieve efficient oil control and cleansing on the basis of ensuring mild and low irritation, taking into account cleanliness and comfort. In the actual formulation application, the adaptation scenarios of this raw material are very wide, and the core focus is on various types of washable refreshing personal care products.It is often used in foam cleansing mousse, amino acid compound cleansing products, makeup remover cleansing two-in-one products, and can also be added to shampoo, shower gel and other body care products.In the makeup remover formula system, MYPG1210 relies on its excellent oil emulsifying ability to quickly dissolve daily light and thin makeup such as foundation and makeup remover, realize one-step cleansing and makeup remover, and simplify the daily skin care process. In order to further optimize the performance of the formula, the cleaning system of this raw material can be used in combination with Peg 7 glyceryl cocoate, which can effectively balance the cleaning strength and basic moisturizing performance, and solve the common problems in the industry that are prone to excessive dryness or insufficient cleaning power in a single cleaning surface activity.From the point of view of market adaptability, MYPG1210 accurately fits the needs of mass consumers for refreshing care products. It is cost-effective and has a high formula fault tolerance rate. Whether it is mass-produced cheap daily chemical products or conventional mid-range skin care and care products, it can achieve stable application and is the core basic raw material of refreshing personal care formula. PEOFA™ MYPG1410(Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate) PEOFA™ MYPG1410 is a decameric glyceride synthesized by esterification of myristic acid. It adopts a C14 long carbon chain molecular structure. Compared with the C12 short carbon chain structure, it has stronger molecular stability, better film-forming properties, and milder interfacial activity. It is a multifunctional emulsified cleansing raw material that focuses on soothing, repairing, moisturizing and moisturizing.The cleansing logic of this raw material is different from the traditional powerful cleansing surface activity. It will not quickly peel off the natural sebum membrane on the surface of the skin. It only gently removes dust and excess dirt from the surface of the skin, and retains the skin's own moisturizing barrier to the greatest extent. Reduce dryness, tightness, and redness after cleansing from the root cause. At the level of foam and skin feeling, the foaming speed of MYPG1410 is relatively gentle, and the total amount of foam is slightly lower than that of MYPG1210, but the foam body is more delicate and dense, the durability is higher, and the foam feels warm to the touch. It can effectively reduce skin friction and irritation during the cleaning process.After the cleansing is over, the raw materials will form a thin and breathable moisturizing protective film on the surface of the skin, which locks in skin moisture for a long time and brings a warm and comfortable feeling of skin after washing. It is perfectly adapted to dry skin, sensitive muscles, damaged barrier muscles and other fragile skin types. It is also the preferred core raw material for infant and child personal care products, which fits the maintenance needs of low irritation and heavy moisturizing of infant and child skin. In terms of formula adaptability, MYPG1410 breaks through the limitations of a single cleansing raw material. Relying on its excellent oil in water emulsifier ability, it can be widely used in skin care and repair products, no longer limited to cleansing and care categories.In skin care formulas such as lotions, creams, serums, etc., this raw material can evenly blend the oil components with the water-based active ingredients, effectively avoid product stratification and precipitation, and greatly improve the storage stability and application texture of skin care products. As the fields of sensitive muscle repair, baby skin care, and gentle skin care continue to heat up, the market advantages of MYPG1410 are becoming more and more prominent.Many skin care brands that specialize in safe and gentle skin care have used them to replace traditional irritating synthetic raw materials and enhance the gentle level of products and the added value of skin care.At the same time, the raw material is extremely adaptable and can be used with various functional additives. Combined with thickening suspension additives, it can also optimize product consistency and suspension stability, and solve problems such as cream, emulsion, and care product thinning, powder precipitation, etc. Overall, there is no distinction between the performance advantages and disadvantages of MYPG1210 and MYPG1410. Only the structural characteristics are different and the adaptation scenarios are complementary. They correspond to the two core market needs of refreshing oil control and gentle moisturizing, covering the general public's daily skin care and refined repair skin care product development needs in all directions.

Why Do Japanese Sunscreens Feel Invisible?
Why Do Japanese Sunscreens Feel Invisible? One obvious change in the past few years is that the way consumers evaluate sunscreen has changed. Ten years ago, everyone was more concerned about direct issues, such as whether the SPF was high enough, whether the sun protection was black, and whether it could be used by the beach.But now the evaluation system has obviously become more active and more demanding: whether it can be used every day, whether it will rub mud, whether it will be greasy, whether it will smoke the eyes, and whether it will affect the obedience of the base makeup. In other words, sunscreen is no longer a functional step, but is incorporated into the daily skin care experience system as part of it. So a very interesting conclusion appeared: For most consumers, the best sunscreen is no longer the one with the highest SPF, but is naturally obeyed after application. It is also because of this standard that Japanese sun protection is frequently described in the international market as: Invisible, Weightless, Second Skin, Barely There. The common denominator of these words is not protection, but almost zero sense of existence. Then the problem comes: Why can Japanese sunscreen achieve this sense of invisibility? I.The bifurcation of the logic of sun protection: not to do "sun protection”, but to do “skin feeling” If you simply compare the logic of global sunscreen development, you will find that the two routes are actually very different. The European and American systems are more inclined to “protection first”, and the core goal is outdoor strong light environments, such as beaches, long-term exposure, and extreme water-resistant conditions.Therefore, formula design often revolves around SPF stability, water resistance, and film-forming strength. The key word of the Japanese system is closer to “Daily Wear”, which is the sense of daily wear. The logic behind it is actually very direct: If consumers are unwilling to use it every day, no matter how high the SPF is, there is no point. So the R&D goal will become a very abstract but very critical direction: Let sunscreen "disappear”. It is not to reduce protection, but to reduce perception. This concept has changed the priority of formulation engineering: From UV protection efficiency to skin perception path optimization. II.The heavy feeling is actually not caused by the UV filter Many consumers subconsciously think that the heavy sunscreen is because there are too many sunscreens or the chemical composition is irritating. But from the perspective of formula engineering, this judgment is not accurate. It is often the four systems that really determine the weight of somatosensory: · Emulsion structure · Grease system ·Film-forming system · Powder dispersion state The UV filter itself is only the core of the function, but the somatosensory source comes more from the carrier system. To give a very typical example, the same SPF50+ products, some are pushed away like water, and some are pasted on the face like a film. This difference is often not determined by the sunscreen, but by the system design. Especially in the oil phase system, the spreading capacity of different oils and fats varies greatly. For example, like some lightweight ester grease systems, with a high spreading structure, the drag feeling can be significantly reduced. Among them, light-sensitive ester oils such as C12 15 alkyl benzoate are frequently used in many Japanese sunscreens. The essential reason is that it spreads quickly, has a weak oily film, and does not significantly increase the burden on the skin surface. III.Why is Japanese sunscreen natural and non-greasy when pushed away? A very key experience point is: Japanese sun protection is almost always instantaneous. Behind this experience, the essence is the rheological control ability of the system. On the one hand, it is the lightweight oil phase structure, and on the other hand, it is the choice of emulsifying system. Many formulas use a highly malleable emulsifying system to reduce structural resistance, so that the system quickly breaks the film on the surface of the skin and spreads evenly, thereby reducing the sense of residence that is difficult to push away.A very important but often overlooked point here is the continuity of the film-forming process.If there is a local structural fracture of the system during the spreading process, there will be a sense of pulling or uneven residue. In some high-end systems, volatile silicone oil systems are even used to further enhance the instantaneous dryness. For example, volatile silicon-based structures like Cyclopentasiloxane can reduce the surface oiliness in a short period of time and bring the product closer to the state where the skin feeling is 0. IV.The key to non-whitish-decentralized system Many people directly attribute the whitening of sunscreen to zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, but in fact, it is the powder dispersion system that really determines the visual effect.The same physical sunscreen powder, if the dispersion is not good, will have a significant white film, if the dispersion is delicate enough, it will show a near-transparent light scattering effect. The advantages of Japanese sunscreen in this regard are very obvious, the core lies in two capabilities: · Powder wetting ability · Dispersion stability When the powder is fully wetted and evenly dispersed, its light scattering on the skin will become very uniform, rather than local accumulation.This is also why some products look almost transparent, but the actual protection is still very high. In system optimization, stable structure is as important as uniform dispersion. This kind of stability sometimes depends on the overall emulsification network, not just a certain raw material. V.Sunscreen is more and more like lotion, the essence is the introduction of liquid crystal structure Japanese sun protection is beginning to look more and more like skin care lotions, even like essences.The core of this change is the introduction of the liquid crystal emulsification system. For example, plant-derived liquid crystal emulsion systems like OILREE® MY918 are gradually being used in many high-end sunscreen systems. A key feature of it is that the structure is closer to the lipid layer of the skin than the traditional emulsified structure. This will bring several direct experience changes: Softer extension More natural moisturizing feeling Lower tension More stable active carrying capacity In terms of sense of use, it is closer to skin care steps than functional coatings. Therefore, there has also been a trend: The Sun Screen is becoming Essence Sun Screen or Serum Sun Screen. In other words, sunscreen is no longer just a protective layer, but a part of skin care. Under this system, the design idea of Oil in water emulsifier has also changed. It is no longer just simple emulsification, but it is necessary to take into account structural softness and long-term stability. VI.Why Japanese sunscreen hardly rubs mud Mud rubbing is a very sensitive issue for many consumers, but its causes are actually more complicated than imagined. Many people think that rubbing mud comes from thickeners, but in fact, it often comes from three system problems.: · Partial aggregation of powder ·Uneven film formation · The emulsified structure is destroyed by friction When the system is unstable, the product will form a micro-agglomerated structure on the surface of the skin, which is rolled up in friction, forming a so-called rubbing mud. Especially in high-SPF products, if the sunscreen powder is unevenly distributed, this problem is more likely to occur. The solution is usually not to simply reduce the viscosity, but to reconstruct the stability of the system so that the structure remains continuous under external forces. If you summarize the logic of the entire Japanese system, it is actually not a single technical advantage, but a set of system engineering. It is solving four things at the same time: · Reduce perceived weight · Improve spreading efficiency · Control visual transparency · Maintain structural stability There are even certain conflicts between these goals, such as: If you want to be thinner and thinner, you need to reduce the structural strength But reducing the strength of the structure will affect the stability of the protection. In some system designs, it will be balanced by the synergy between the grease structure and the emulsifying network, such as combining light ester oils with a stable emulsifying structure to make the system soft when spreading and stable when standing. At the same time, some functional raw materials such as sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, a highly stable thickening system, are also commonly used to improve the overall rheological control ability, so that the product finds a balance between lightness and stability. Conclusion If you go back to the original question: Why is there almost no sense of existence in Japanese sunscreen? The answer is actually very clear. Because they were not making sunscreen from the beginning, but doing a skin care experience that was accepted by the skin. Under this logic, the highest evaluation of sunscreen is no longer strong protection, but: You even forgot to apply it today. And this is the true meaning of Invisible.
