OILREE® MY719, MY720, and MY722 are three self-developed cosmetic raw materials. They all belong to the C16-22 fatty acid triester class and each has its own advantages: MY719 is a yellow liquid, and it is quite good at adjusting the skin texture and moisturizing. If you want to make a product that is smooth and shiny when applied, choose it. MY720 has very stable emulsification and a good lubricating feel. If you want a stable formula, you can use it. MY722 has good waterproofness and compatibility, and it is very suitable for functional products such as sunscreen and lipstick.You don't have to stare at the most fully functional raw materials when choosing raw materials. It's a serious matter to get along with your own formula.
Now that the cosmetics industry is developing rapidly, everyone has higher and higher requirements for product texture, effect, and safety. Formulators are always looking for raw materials that can improve product performance and meet various needs. These three models-MY719 (triisostearin), MY720 (
TRIHYDROXYSTEARIN), and MY722 (
TRIBEHENIN), relying on the characteristics of stable quality and many functions, have slowly become popular in the market.They can be seen in lipsticks, face creams, conditioners, and sun protection products, which can help the products to be more comfortable and effective.
However, the chemical structure, physical appearance, and functional characteristics of these three raw materials are not the same, and they are definitely not a universal model that can be used in all recipes.For cosmetics companies and formulators, how to pick out the most suitable one from these three is the key to optimizing the formula.Next, let's talk about the differences between these three raw materials in terms of basic appearance, core functions, where they can be used, how to use them, and whether they are safe or not.
I.Comparison of basic characteristics
The basic appearance of the raw material directly affects whether it can be mixed with other things in the formula, and whether it can be used during production.The appearance and parameters of these three raw materials are quite obvious, and these differences also determine where they are suitable for use.
1. Physical form
MY719: It is a yellow liquid at room temperature. The advantage of this liquid is that it can be quickly blended with other liquid raw materials in the formula. It does not need to be stirred for a long time during production, and it can be evenly distributed in the product. It is suitable for products with uniform texture such as creams and lotions.
MY720: At 25℃, it is a white granular solid. The solid is relatively stable and will not leak out or change shape, but it must be dissolved or dispersed before use. At this time, you must pay attention to controlling the temperature and stirring speed, otherwise it may not melt evenly.
MY722: It is the same as MY720. It is a white particle, but there is a difference between whether the particles are fine or not, and whether they are densely piled up.This difference will make the speed at which it dissolves and the uniformity of mixing with other solid raw materials different from MY720. The formulator can choose according to his own production process.
2. Key physical parameters
Melting point: The melting point affects how many degrees to be heated during production.MY720 has to be at 85-88℃ to melt, MY722 is at 60-62℃, and MY719 is a liquid without a melting point, so it can be processed at room temperature.If there are ingredients that are afraid of heat in the formula, use MY722 to heat less, which saves energy and protects those ingredients that are afraid of heat. MY720 needs a higher temperature, which is suitable for use with formulas that are not afraid of heat.Acid value: The acid value depends on whether there are too many free fatty acids in the raw materials, which will affect the stability of the product and not irritate the skin.These three acid values are within ≤5mgKOH/g, MY719 is 4.7mgKOH/g, and MY722 is as low as 0.1mgKOH/g, which all meet the standards of cosmetic raw materials.If the acid value is low, the raw materials are not easy to break, and the skin irritation is small. It is very suitable for products that can be used for sensitive muscles.
II.Comparison of core functions and features
What the raw material can do determines its role in the formula.These three raw materials have their own focus on skin tone, moisturizing, and stable formula, which can meet the needs of different products.
1. Skin sensation regulation ability
Skin feeling is the first feeling of consumers when using a product, and it also affects whether the product is sold or not.MY719 is very prominent in this regard. It is C16-22 triglyceride. The fatty acid esters in the molecule can penetrate into the stratum corneum of the skin and match the lipids in the stratum corneum. It will be very smooth when applied, and it can make the product push away better. It will not rub mud or slimy. It is often used for products that require a good skin feeling such as creams and serums.MY720 is also C16-22 triglyceride, which has a softer skin tone. After application, there will be a film on the surface of the skin, which can lock in water and will not feel oily. If used with cosmetic emulsifiers, the skin will feel more even. Moisturizing products for dry skin or baby skin care products are very suitable.MY722 has a large molecular weight, and the skin feels refreshing and long-lasting. The film formed is breathable, and it is not stuffy to apply to the face for a day. It is very comfortable to use sunscreen and isolation products that take a long time to be on the skin.
2.Moisturizing and water-locking properties
Moisturizing is one of the basic functions of cosmetics, and the methods of moisturizing these three types are different.The molecules of MY719 can combine with water molecules to form a water-locking structure. It is like a small reservoir that locks water in the skin, which can reduce moisture and run away. It can also replenish the skin with nutrients and make the skin soft and smooth. Use it as the core raw material for long-lasting moisturizing products.MY720 relies on sealing and locking water. The membrane it forms has good sealing properties, which can block the influence of the external environment on skin moisture and reduce moisture evaporation. Products used in dry places or powerful moisturizing formulas for desert dry skin are very suitable.MY722 is not the main moisturizing ingredient, but it works well with other moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which can make the moisturizing effect of the entire formula more stable, and it will not be worse because of changes in the environment. Moisturizing, it plays an auxiliary and enhanced role.
3.System stability
In addition to the effect on the skin, it is also important whether the raw materials can stabilize the product.MY720 has good emulsifying ability, which can make the oil and water in the formula melt more thoroughly, and it is not easy to layer and precipitate. It can also keep the product longer. It is used as a stabilizer for emulsified products such as lotions and creams.MY722 is waterproof and compatible. It has a large molecular weight, so it can be used as a waterproof agent to enhance the waterproof effect of sunscreen and waterproof makeup. It will not fall off as soon as it touches water. It can also be mixed with pigments and powders. Makeup ingredients are very evenly mixed to ensure that the texture and color of the product are stable.MY719 relies on adjusting the viscosity of the cream to stabilize the formula. It can control the viscosity in just the right range. The product is easy to take and will not flow everywhere. It is often used for products that require a fixed form such as lipstick and hand cream.
III.Comparison of application scope
Because the basic characteristics and core functions are not the same, these three raw materials can be used in cosmetics and have their own focus, which can just match the needs of different products.
1. The main application scenarios of MY719
It is a liquid, with good skin tone and moisturizing. It can be used in many places: lip care and makeup: As a lipstick brightener, it can make the lipstick better to apply, the color is brighter, and the lipstick is more moisturizing. , Will not get stuck lip lines.Facial skin care: Adding it to creams and essences can make the product smoother and better absorbed, and it can also moisturize. Basic skin care products of various skin types can be used.Hair care: Adding it to conditioners and shampoos can reduce static electricity in the hair, make the hair smoother, make the hair more shiny, and improve dry and frizzy hair.
2. The main application scenarios of MY720
It is stable in emulsification and gentle on the skin. It is mainly used in these places: skin softening products: body lotion, hand cream, etc. It can provide a gentle moisturizing feeling and form a protective film. It can be used on dry skin and sensitive muscles.Emulsified skin care products: As an
Emulsifier and stabilizer, it can make lotions and creams more stable, not easy to layer, and last longer. It is often used in moisturizing lotions and repairing creams.Baby skin care products: it is less irritating, has a mild skin feeling, and meets the requirements of baby skin care products. It can be used in baby moisturizers and massage oils.
3. The main application scenarios of MY722
It is waterproof and has good compatibility. It is mainly used in functional cosmetics: sunscreen products: as a waterproof agent and oil-phase thickener, it can enhance the waterproof effect of sunscreen, and it can also make sunscreen better to apply, and it is not easy to whiten.Makeup products: Adding it to lip glaze, lipstick, and eye makeup can make the product more stable and lasting. It is not easy to take off makeup. It can also improve skin feeling and reduce irritation to the lips and eyes.Special care products: Adding it to antiperspirants can make the product more stable and comfortable to use, reduce the irritation of antiperspirant ingredients to the skin, and make the effect more lasting.
IV.Comparison of usage specifications
When actually making the formula, the amount of raw materials, packaging, and how to store them will affect production efficiency and cost. These three models are also different in these aspects.
1. Recommended dosage
MY719: The dosage should be adjusted between 1-10%, such as 3-5% for lipstick as a brightener, and 5-8% for face cream to adjust skin feeling and moisturizing.
MY720: The dosage is also 1.0-10.0%, 2-4% as an emulsion stabilizer, and 5-7% as a softening agent.
MY722: The dosage is 1.0-5.0%, 2-3% for sunscreen, and 1-2% for makeup as a stabilizer.
2. Packaging and storage
Packaging: MY719 is a barrel of 20kg, which is convenient for liquids to be poured upside down. MY720 and MY722 are 25kg in a bag. Solid particles are packed in bags and can be moved in places.Storage: Keep it at room temperature, away from light, in a sealed place, and moisture-proof.MY720 and MY722 are particles, don't let it clump by moisture, otherwise it will not dissolve well. MY719 is a liquid. Don't break the bucket and leak it out, and don't put it with strong oxidizing things to avoid reaction.
In general, although OILREE® MY719, MY720, and MY722 are all C16-22 fatty acid triesters, they are also high-quality raw materials of Yichang Mingya, but their basic characteristics, core functions, and places where they can be used are different, so they have their own advantages. The right choice can make the formula effect more in line with expectations.
