What Is Peg-8 diisostearate（OILREE®MY936）？
In the rapid development of the beauty and skin care industry today, consumers have higher and higher requirements for product experience, stability and safety, and high-quality raw materials are the core foundation for creating high-quality cosmetics.Among the many cosmetic raw materials, OILREE® MY936 (INCI name Peg-8 diisostearate) has multifunctional characteristics and stable performance. The CAS number of this raw material is 68958 56 5, the appearance is a transparent liquid, and the conventional packaging is 25kg/drum.
From the point of view of chemical nature, Peg-8 diisostearate is a single compound with a clear structure, the molecular formula is C42H82O6, and the molecular weight is 683.097 Da.It is prepared through a precise chemical synthesis process. After a number of strict processes such as synthesis, packaging, and inspection, it will only enter the finished product warehouse after passing the indicators to ensure that the performance of each batch of products is stable and consistent.As a multifunctional raw material that integrates the functions of emulsification, softening and thickening, it can effectively solve common problems such as difficult fusion of oil and water, rough texture and poor stability in cosmetic formulas, and provide strong support for product quality upgrading.
Unlike a single functional raw material, the advantage of Peg-8 diisostearate is that it is “multi-purpose with one material”.In the formula, it can not only act as an
Emulsifier, allowing the oil phase and the water phase to blend perfectly, avoiding product stratification, but also as a softener to enhance the smoothness and skin feeling of the product when applied, and it can also play a thickening role, making the product texture more mellow, and it is easier to control the dosage when using.This multifunctional feature can not only reduce the types of materials in the formula, reduce production costs, but also avoid possible compatibility conflicts between multiple raw materials, making the product formula more concise and safer.
Core Performance Characteristics of Peg-8 diisostearate
Excellent Emulsifying Capacity, Stabilizing Oil-Water System
Emulsification is a key link in the production of cosmetics, especially for products such as makeup remover oil, foundation, and cream that need to contain both oily and aqueous components. The emulsification effect directly determines the stability and experience of the product.MY936 has excellent emulsifying ability, which can quickly reduce the interfacial tension between the oil phase and the aqueous phase, so that the two are evenly dispersed and a stable emulsifying system is formed.
The pH value of this raw material is 6.5-8 at 25℃ and 1% aqueous solution, which is close to the acid-base environment of human skin. It will not destroy the activity of other raw materials during the emulsification process, and it can also reduce skin irritation.Judging from the data of the product's quality certificate, the pH value of a certain batch of products was measured as 7.45, which meets the requirements of the standard and further verifies the stability of its performance.In the formula of makeup remover oil, it can blend with oil, silicone oil and other ingredients to form a uniform and delicate texture. It can quickly dissolve makeup when used, and it is not easy to appear layered and agglomerated, making the makeup remover process smoother.
It is worth mentioning that its solubility in silicone oil formulas is particularly outstanding.With the widespread application of silicone oil ingredients in cosmetics, how to improve their compatibility with other ingredients has become a difficult formula.And MY936 can effectively solve this problem, so that the silicone oil ingredients are evenly dispersed in the product, which not only retains the smooth skin feeling of the silicone oil, but also avoids the poor use experience caused by uneven dispersion.Compared with common emulsifiers, its emulsifying stability is stronger, allowing the product to maintain long-term stability under room temperature, light and sealed storage conditions, and its validity period can reach 2 years.
Gentle Softening Effect, Enhancing Sensory Experience
The skin feeling of cosmetics is an important factor affecting consumers' repurchase, and MY936, as a high-quality softener, can significantly enhance the product experience.Its molecular structure contains oleophilic groups and hydrophilic groups. The oleophilic groups can combine with the oil on the surface of the skin to reduce the loss of skin moisture.Hydrophilic groups can enhance the hydration of the product, make the application process smoother, and avoid sticky and heavy feeling.
In resident cosmetics such as creams and lotions, adding about 1% of Peg-8 diisostearate can make the texture of the product more delicate and silky. After application, it can be quickly absorbed by the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. At the same time, it can enhance the moisturizing effect of the product and make the skin appear hydrated and plump.In rinsing products such as facial cleanser and shower gel, the amount added can reach 5%, which can effectively improve the cleansing touch of the product, reduce the tightness of the skin during the cleaning process, and the skin is still soft and smooth after washing.
In addition, the chromaticity (APHA) of this raw material is ≤100, and the measured value of a certain batch is 70. The color is light and uniform, which will not affect the final color of cosmetics, and can be well adapted to various colors of makeup and skin care product formulas.Its acid value is ≤5mgKOH/g, and the measured value is 0.44mgKOH/g, which is much lower than the upper limit of the standard, indicating that the product has high purity and low impurity content, which further guarantees its gentleness and safety.
Efficient Thickening Performance, Optimizing Product Texture
Product texture is consumers' first impression of cosmetics. The appropriate thickness can not only enhance the visual texture of the product, but also facilitate the use and control the dosage.As a thickener, Peg-8 diisostearate can effectively adjust the viscosity of cosmetics and achieve the desired texture of the product.
Its thickening effect is mild and stable, and its viscosity will not fluctuate significantly due to changes in ambient temperature and humidity.In lotions, creams and other products, adding an appropriate amount can make the texture of the product from thin to mellow, while maintaining good fluidity, easy to apply and push away, in makeup remover oil, essence and other products, it can make the texture of the product more uniform, avoiding problems such as stratification and precipitation.Compared with professional thickeners such as
Thickening suspension, the advantage of MY936 is that it integrates thickening, emulsifying, and softening functions. It can optimize the texture of the product and enhance the comprehensive use experience of the product. There is no need to add a variety of additional raw materials to make the formula more concise and efficient.
