Lightweight Moisturizing Cream Formula for Silky Skin Feel
2026,09,20
Hubei Mingya launched a reference formula for light velvet hydrating moisturizing cream. The whole formula is positioned at affordable prices for the public. The whole formula builds a complete raw material framework around the goal of refreshing and silky skin feeling, and composes a variety of functional raw materials. The raw materials of the whole formula constitute the basic environment of the entire aqueous phase with water as the base of the system.
- The molecular weight of OILREE®MY EG-26 GLYCERETH-26 is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary glycerin, and it has sufficient moisturizing ability, but it will not bring the feeling of hot application that often occurs with ordinary glycerin. The moisturizing and heavy feeling is properly controlled, and it is not easy to produce a stuffy and sticky skin feeling. It is very suitable for use in cream systems that pursue warmth and not stuffy.A small amount of Kapom thickening raw materials are used in the aqueous phase to complete the swelling of the aqueous phase in advance, laying the foundation for the subsequent system after emulsification.The oil phase part combines a variety of emollient oils, OILREE®MY914, OILREE®MY918, supplemented by a small amount of wasp wax and NSOAF™2EHS, with polydimethylsiloxane, mineral oil, and a variety of oil phase raw materials. Division of labor and cooperation, respectively, assume the different functions of spreading, softening, and sealing protection.
- OILREE®MY914 MYRISTYL MYRISTATE has the appearance of white particles, and it has excellent emollient performance. It can play an auxiliary thickening and emulsifying effect inside the cream formula. Under suitable addition conditions, it can replace some cetearyl alcohol, reduce the whitening phenomenon that is prone to occur during the application process, and enhance the advanced texture of the cream application.In addition to skin care creams, this raw material can also be used in lipstick systems to replace some carnauba wax. Relying on its own high refractive index, it can improve the gloss performance of lipstick lips after application. As a polar synthetic wax, it can also improve the compatibility of different oils and waxes in the formula, and broaden the space for the formula to be adjusted.In this set of hydrating moisturizing cream, it is not used as the main force to add a lot of oil. The addition of small doses is more to optimize the overall smoothness when pushing away, to avoid the feeling of pulling the skin when the cream is pushed away, and to cooperate with the rest of the oil-phase raw materials.
- OILREE®MY918 CETEARYL ALCOHOL/CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE is a liquid crystal emulsified raw material of plant origin, showing the form of white to yellowish particles, does not contain EO components inside the system, has a low level of irritation, and has excellent biodegradable properties. When the formula is applied, there is no need to worry too much about the difference in the polarity and molecular weight of the oil inside the formula. The adaptation scenarios are very wide. Baby skin care products, eye creams, anti-allergic repair formulas, and sunscreen products with high sun protection index can all use this emulsified raw material. In many mild formula development cases, the emulsified raw material will also be combined with CETYL PALMITATE to further adjust the softness of the paste. In this reference formula, it assumes the basic emulsification work, combining the aqueous phase with various oils to construct a liquid crystal emulsifying structure. The liquid crystal structure has a certain similarity with the lipid structure between the stratum corneum of the human body. When applied to the surface of the skin, it can bring a smooth and soft contact feeling, and it also plays a positive role in the long-term stability of the system.When many formulators develop sensitive skin care products, they will give priority to such low-irritating emulsified components to reduce the overall potential irritation risk of the formula and adapt it to consumer groups with weak skin barriers.
- In the oil tank, NSOAF™2EHS ETHYLHEXYL STEARATE is a transparent liquid emollient raw material. It has good spreading properties and good application fluidity. It can give the skin a dry and smooth feeling of use. It has good thixotropic and smoothing effects. It can improve the tactile experience when the skin comes into contact with the product. At the same time, it can help the incompatible components of water and oil inside the system to better integrate and strengthen the stability of the milky system. It also has good skin penetration ability. Outside of the moisturizing scene, the raw material can often be seen in sunscreen formulas.In this formula, 6% of the added amount is matched with mineral oil and polydimethylsiloxane. Mineral oil brings basic sealing and water-locking ability, and polydimethylsiloxane provides a silky sense of slippage. NSOAF™2EHS reconciles the characteristics of various oils to avoid the skin feeling short-board caused by a single oil, so that the overall oil phase will not be too heavy and sticky.
- THICION®MY905 ACRYLAMIDE & AMMONIUM ACRYLATE COPOLYMER &MINERAL OIL & LAURETH-7 is a milky white viscous liquid. It can play the dual roles of moisturizing and lubricating in the formula at the same time, creating a refreshing, delicate and silky skin feeling, and relieving the common sticky burden on the cream system. In addition to the cream emulsion essence acting as a brightening and brightening component, it can also be used for styling and hair care products across borders.
The selection of raw materials is only part of the formula development, and the production process will also affect the final product.The cream is a typical systematic product, and the temperature, feeding sequence, homogenization, and cooling process may all affect the final state.The light velvet hydrating moisturizing cream is prepared in two stages A and B.The aqueous phase and the oily phase are prepared separately, and the relevant raw materials are kept warm to 80℃ to fully dissolve, and then the B phase is added to the A phase for homogenization.After cooling and cooling, add THICION®MY905 for homogenization, and finally add preservatives and flavors.Such a process arrangement allows the oil phase raw materials to be fully melted and dispersed, while further adjusting the consistency of the overall system after the emulsion is formed.The same formula may also produce different final effects under different production equipment and process conditions.
Summary
OILREE®MY EG-26 is responsible for the adjustment of moisturizing sensation, NSOAF™2EHS improves spreading and smoothness, OILREE®MY914 helps adjust the architecture, OILREE®MY918 assumes the role of emulsification, and THICION®MY905 participates in the rheological adjustment of the latter stage.These raw materials are not simple substitution relationships, but assume different roles in a complete system.
In the future, the development of moisturizing products may pay more attention to the overall structure of the formula, rather than emphasizing a certain ingredient separately.As can be seen from the formula of a light velvet hydrating moisturizing cream, a seemingly simple daily cream actually involves moisturizing, emulsifying, emollient, rheology and stability.The Moisturizer market is still mature, but there is still room for the product experience to continue to be optimized.How to ensure moisturizing and stability while making products lighter, more delicate and comfortable will continue to be an important direction in the development of skin care formulas.
The iteration of the skin care market is always driven by demand, and consumers' demands are also in dynamic changes. Sometimes they pursue strong efficacy and sometimes they pursue simplicity and gentleness, but a comfortable experience of use is always the underlying appeal of users.The efficacy determines the lower limit of the product, and the skin feeling will increase the upper limit of the product.For participants upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, paying attention to the research and development of matrix formulas, polishing the basic use experience, and studying the efficacy of active substances have the same important value.
