Moisturizers in Cosmetics Market Growth and Key Applications
In the fields of cosmetics and personal care, moisturizers have always been essential key ingredients. As consumers pursue more refined skin care, from simply seeking hydration to craving long-lasting, comfortable, and skin friendly moisturizing experiences, the market for
Moisturizer ingredients continues to heat up, becoming a highly anticipated sector in the beauty and personal care industry chain.
I. The driving force behind the development of the moisturizing agent raw material market
1. Upgrading consumer demand
Consumers' demand for moisturizing is no longer singular. People with dry skin hope to deeply lock in water, allowing their skin to stay hydrated for a long time even in dry weather. People with oily skin want refreshing hydration that not only replenishes moisture but also avoids feeling sticky. Sensitive skin places great emphasis on gentle moisturizing, fearing that while moisturizing, it may also irritate the skin. This diversified demand makes brands pay more attention to choosing moisturizers, which in turn drives the continuous expansion of the moisturizer raw material market. In recent years, the market demand for moisturizer ingredients in the international beauty and personal care field has maintained a good growth trend.
2. The assistance of technological innovation
From a supply perspective, the research and development technology of moisturizers is constantly advancing. The commonly used glycerin used in the past may have problems such as skin stickiness and burning sensation when used at high concentrations. Nowadays, new moisturizers have made significant improvements by optimizing their molecular structure. For example, some moisturizers draw inspiration from the skin friendly properties of amino acid substances, resulting in better compatibility with the skin. Some extract effective ingredients from plants and combine them with nanotechnology to make moisturizing ingredients more easily absorbed by the skin, while also conforming to the trend of green beauty. The technological innovation has made moisturizing products more diverse and injected new vitality into the market.
II. The core advantages and wide applications of moisturizers
Moisturizing agents can occupy an important position in the field of beauty and personal care, thanks to their core advantages and wide application in various products.
Core strengths
1. Powerful moisturizing and water locking ability
The core function of moisturizers is to hydrate and lock in water. Like small molecule moisturizers, the molecules are small and can quickly penetrate into the stratum corneum of the skin, directly replenishing moisture to the skin, just like watering dry land in a timely manner; And polymer moisturizers, with large molecules and slow penetration, can absorb many times their own weight of moisture, forming a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin that locks in moisture for a long time, like holding a water umbrella for the skin. The combination of the two can achieve the effect of rapid hydration and long-term water locking.
2. Good skin sensation regulation effect
In addition to moisturizing, skin texture is also a concern for everyone. A good moisturizer can moisturize while making the product more comfortable to use. For example, moisturizing agents such as hyaluronic acid not only have outstanding moisturizing ability, but also make skincare quality lighter, smooth and easy to apply when applied.
GLYCERETH 26， Moisturizing feeling is thick but not greasy, which can improve the moisturizing degree of the product without bringing sticky burden, making the skin feel fresh and moist after the use of face cream and lotion.
Application scenarios
1. Moisturizing agents are present in skincare products, from cleaning to care. Moisturizing agents are added to facial cleansing products to reduce the damage to the skin barrier caused by cleansing, and the face will not feel tight after washing. Moisturizer in toner and essence can quickly replenish water for skin and prepare for subsequent skin care. Humectants in lotion and face cream, like OILREE® MY EG-26(GLYCERETH 26)， The molecular weight is more than ten times that of glycerin. The moisturizing effect is good but not greasy, and the burning sensation is much less than glycerin. It is suitable for use in various face cream and essence. It is recommended to add 5-20%, which can lock water and nourish the skin for a long time.
2. Makeup products also require moisturizers. The addition of humectants, such as
Peg ppg 17 6 copolymer, to liquid foundation, air cushion and other foundation products can reduce the stickiness of the products, and the dispersibility is also good. The recommended dosage is 2-10%, which can improve the moisture and avoid powder sticking and floating due to dry skin. Lipstick and lip gloss moisturizers can make lips less prone to dryness and cracking, and make lip makeup more long-lasting and full.
3. Personal care: Care for the body's skin
Body care products also rely on moisturizers. Moisturizing agents in body lotion and shower gel can replenish moisture to the skin, relieve dryness, while moisturizing agents in hand cream can deeply nourish the hands and improve rough hand conditions. Like OIL REE ® MY9176(Peg ppg 17 6 copolymer)， It can be used as brightener and skin brightener of cream lotion essence, as well as in styling and hair care products.
III. OILREE ® Moisturizing agent: Achieving brand with quality
OILREE® The brand registered for Mingya Company has gained market recognition for its moisturizing products due to their excellent performance. Like OILREE® MY EG-26 and OILREE® MY9176， The former utilizes the advantage of molecular weight to provide a good moisturizing experience; The latter has a significant effect on improving the skin feel of the product. These products can meet consumers' requirements for moisturizing effects and help formulators create differentiated skin feel products, giving them an advantage in market competition.
In summary, moisturizers, as the core raw material in the field of beauty and personal care, are ushering in a golden period of development with the dual winds of consumer demand upgrading and technological innovation. It has the dual ability of moisturizing and locking in water, which can quickly inject moisture into the skin, form a stable protective film on the surface of the skin to achieve long-term moisturization, and flexibly adjust the product's skin feel, balancing moisture and freshness, suitable for the preferences of different skin types. In the future, with the continuous iteration of moisturizing technology and the deepening pursuit of "gentle and efficient" and "green and safe" in the industry, moisturizers will further break through performance boundaries, provide core support for innovative development in the field of beauty and personal care, and continue to bring consumers a higher quality and more tailored skin moisturizing care experience.
