OILREE®MY930 GLYCERYL STEARATE/PEG-30 STEARATE CAS NO.85666-92-8 / 9004-99-3
What is it
The INCI name of
OILREE®MY930 is
GLYCERYL STEARATE/PEG-30 STEARATE, and its appearance is white to yellowish granules.When a cream or lotion needs to be stable and not layered during shelf storage, formulators usually choose this kind of raw material.Its composition is 20-30% Glyceryl Stearate and 70-80% PEG-30 Stearate. This compound ratio gives the product good self-emulsifying properties and is suitable for emulsification needs in oil-in-water/oil-in-water systems, which is especially suitable as an oil-in-Water
Emulsifier.
How to play a role in the formula
At the oil-water interface, OILREE®MY930 can form a thin and stable interfacial film, which helps the oil phase and the aqueous phase maintain uniform dispersion, and reduces the stratification, liquid analysis, or hard particles of the product during storage.
At the same time, it can also have a certain impact on the skin feeling and texture of the final product.The emulsified particles can maintain a smaller particle size, making the cream smoother during application and reducing the heavy, greasy drag.
In addition, OILREE®MY930 also has a certain thickening effect, so for some emulsions with a thinner texture, it can help the product increase a certain consistency and paste feeling without adding additional colloidal thickeners.
Which formula is suitable for
OILREE®MY930 is mainly used in moisturizing creams, face creams, repairing creams and lotions and other products.
In these formulas, its main role is to help the oil phase maintain a stable mixing with the aqueous active ingredients, so that the product can maintain a uniform texture from the first bottle to the last bottle.
When
CETYL PALMITATE is used in the formula as a softening and emollient ingredient,
OILREE®MY930 can be used in combination with it.Cetyl palmitate is mainly responsible for improving skin softness, while
OILREE®MY930 is responsible for helping the system complete emulsification and maintaining emulsion stability.
Specification and quality
The recommended addition amount is 1-5% of the total formula.
The product is stored in granular form. It is recommended to store at room temperature, avoid light, and sealed conditions, and control the storage temperature below 30°C to avoid product melting or performance deviating from specifications.
Use with other raw materials
For formulas that need to dissolve insoluble oil-soluble active ingredients or flavors, a small amount of PEG-40
Hydrogenated castor oil can be used on the basis of
OILREE®MY930. The two can play different roles:
OILREE®MY930 is mainly responsible for the emulsification and stability of the overall emulsion system, while PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor oil can help deal with a smaller proportion of the solubilized part, so that the already solubilized components remain clear and reduce turbidity.
