What is OILREE ® MY AP-18?
OILREE ® MY AP-18 It's a complex based on alkyl glucosides and fatty acid monoglycerides. It has both gentle cleaning power and the ability to enhance fat regulation. It looks like a transparent yellow viscous liquid with no odor, and has a safety level of 2 green. It is packaged in two specifications: 100kg/barrel and 200kg/barrel.
Core mechanism of action
1. Gentle cleaning: Coconut oil glucoside, as a non-ionic surfactant, can reduce the surface tension of water and remove dirt from the skin and hair through emulsification. Glycerol oleate can adjust the structure of foam to make foam more delicate, rich and stable, and avoid the tightness brought by traditional cleaning ingredients after washing.
2. Viscosity enhancement: In aqueous systems, MY AP-18 molecules can form a three-dimensional network structure between each other, which thickens the system by encapsulating water molecules without the need for additional components such as
Thickening suspension. It can also enhance the low-temperature stability of the formula and prevent delamination and water separation.
3. Skin barrier repair:
Glyceryl oleate can form a breathable protective film on the surface of the skin, reducing the loss of skin lipids during cleaning.
Coco glucoside, with its low irritation, can effectively repair the skin barrier and is suitable for sensitive skin and infant care products.

OILREE ® Innovative Application of MY AP-18 in Washing and Care Formula
The application of MY AP-18 in washing and care formulas has long been more than just a mild cleaning ingredient. In recent years, there have been many innovative research and application directions. Below, we will systematically discuss the innovative applications of MY AP-18 in the field of washing and care, including its basic principles, limitations in traditional applications, and the latest technological breakthroughs.
I. Why OIL REE ® Is MY AP-18 compatible with washing and care formulas?
Before discussing innovation, we need to first clarify OIL REE ® Why does MY AP-18 work well with washing and care systems? It has these inherent advantages:
(1) Functional features: Cleaning and conditioning can be achieved simultaneously. Coco Glucoside provides gentle cleaning power, while Glyceryl Oleate also plays a role in fat enhancing and conditioning, solving the old problem of skin damage caused by cleaning in the industry. Moreover, it can also adjust the viscosity and foam at the same time. Without adding additional thickening agent and foam stabilizer, one raw material can optimize the product texture and use feeling, making the formula system simpler.
(2) Formula compatibility: High polarity matching, MY AP-18 molecule contains multiple hydroxyl and ester groups, which can form stable hydrogen bonds with anionic and non-ionic (such as amphoteric surfactants) to disperse ingredients more evenly and avoid layering or precipitation. It also has a wide range of pH adaptability, with stable performance between pH values of 5.5-8.5 commonly used in washing and care products, meeting the design requirements of formulas for different skin types.
(3) Sustainability advantages: The ingredients come from natural sources, with Coco Glucoside derived from renewable coconut oil and starch, and Glycyryl Oleate extracted from vegetable oils, which is in line with current consumption trends. It has low irritation and is suitable as a care product for special populations such as sensitive skin and infants.
II. Limitations and Challenges of Traditional Applications
Although OIL REE ® MY AP-18 is a high-quality ingredient in skincare formulas, but it still has some inherent limitations in traditional applications that need to be overcome through innovation
(1) High dosage requirement: In traditional formulas, it is usually necessary to add 3% -5% to achieve the desired viscosity and fatliquoring effect. High dosage may not only increase the formula cost, but also be difficult to apply in products that require low viscosity.
(2) Insufficient low-temperature stability: When the temperature drops below 5 ℃, some traditional formulas of MY AP-18 are prone to crystallization, which affects the appearance and smoothness of the product during use, and also increases storage and transportation costs.
(3) Single functionality: Traditional applications mainly focus on cleaning, thickening, and conditioning functions. When combined with high-efficiency ingredients, the synergistic effect is not good enough, making it difficult to meet the multifunctional needs of high-end care products.
(4) Limitations of foam volume control: In the hard water environment, the amount of foam produced by MY AP-18 in the traditional formula will be significantly reduced, affecting the consistency of consumer experience.
III. Innovative application direction and cutting-edge research
In response to these limitations, in recent years OIL REE ® The innovative application of MY AP-18 in the field of washing and care mainly revolves around three directions: synergistic efficiency enhancement, structural modification, and functional expansion.
1. Development of collaborative efficiency system
This is currently the most active field of research, and by using it in combination with other ingredients, it can reduce the total amount of additives while improving overall performance.
(1) OILREE ® MY AP-18 synergizes with quaternary ammonium salts:
→ Mechanism: In combination with
Cationic Conditioner, the non-ionic group of MY AP-18 can help the cationic component better adsorb on the hair surface, enhance the antistatic property and flexibility, and at the same time solve the problem of insufficient amount of cationic component foam.
→ Effect: The amount of MY AP-18 added can be reduced, and when combined with quaternary ammonium salts, the resistance during hair drying and combing can be reduced, making it suitable for use in high-end repair shampoos.
(2)OILREE ® MY AP-18 synergizes with natural polysaccharides:
Mechanism: When combined with natural polysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid and xanthan gum, polysaccharide molecules can interweave with the network structure of MY AP-18 to form a more stable thickening system, while also enhancing moisturizing and skin soothing effects.
→ Effect: In cleansing products, adding MY AP-18 and hyaluronic acid can achieve the viscosity of traditional formulas, and the skin moisturizing rate can also be improved, making it suitable for sensitive skin cleansing formulas.
2. OILREE ® Structural Modification of MY AP-18
By changing the physical form of MY AP-18, its performance in the formula can be improved.
Wrap MY AP-18 in microcapsules, and this shell can serve these purposes:
A. Control the release rate of MY AP-18 to prolong the cleaning and conditioning effects
B. Improve its compatibility with oil phase components, suitable for use in water oil dual phase cleaning products
