OILREE® MY942 high solubilizing capacity solubilizer and OILREE® MY940PE high-efficiency low-foaming solubilizer perform well in complex oil-water phase systems.Through the differentiated molecular structure design, the two products show excellent performance in the application of essential oil solubilization and low foaming refreshing formula.
Challenges of complex oil-water systems
A complex oil-water system usually refers to a formula environment that needs to dissolve a variety of oil-soluble active ingredients of different polarities (such as essential oils, plant extracts, fat-soluble vitamins, etc.) at the same time, and maintain a transparent, stable system and a refreshing skin feeling.Such conditions put forward strict requirements for the solubility, compatibility, foam characteristics and gentleness of
Solubilizers.MY942 and MY940PE show good overall adaptability under these application parameters.
I. Analysis of basic characteristics of raw materials
MY942 belongs to a nonionic solubilizing system, INCI name: Coconut glycol ether 7 or Ppg-1-peg-9 lauryl glycol ether or Peg-40
Hydrogenated castor oil, which realizes the solubilizing effect by forming a micelle structure.The HLB values of the three components are 12-14, 13-15 and 14-16, which can wrap oil-soluble molecules of different polarities.
MY940PE: Ppg-26-buteth-26 or
Peg 40 hydrogenated castor oil, by optimizing the molecular chain length and the number of ether bonds, while ensuring the solubilization efficiency, the system foam is significantly reduced.Both products are transparent liquids at 25°C, with a chromaticity (APHA) ≤30, an acid value ≤0.1mgKOH/g, and a pH value (5% aqueous solution) stable in the range of 6.5-7.5.
II. Performance in solubilizing properties
Whether it is lavender essential oil with light texture, tea tree essential oil, or citrus essential oil with complex molecular structure and difficult to dissolve, MY942 can be easily controlled, and the solubilizing efficiency is beyond ordinary solubilizing.The low foaming characteristics of MY940PE give it a unique advantage in refreshing products.
As a high-quality cosmetic raw materials, MY942 has a low threshold for use.According to the characteristics of the solubilized substance, it only needs to be fully mixed with the solubilized substance in a ratio of (3-1):1, then added to water and stirred evenly to complete the fusion. However, it should be noted that MY942 and MY940PE are designed for external beauty products and cannot be used in mouthwash and other imported products.
III. Formula stability support
It exhibits good compatibility with common beauty raw materials such as polyols, preservatives, thickeners, and surfactants.
After 24 months of storage at room temperature, dark and airtight conditions, the key indicators of the two products still meet the specifications.Of particular note is that the antioxidant protection ability of MY942 decreased by only 5-8% during the storage period, showing excellent stability.
Mild guarantee: The acute skin irritation tests of both products showed that they were non-irritating, and the eye irritation test was below micro-irritating, which is suitable for all kinds of beauty products.Its biodegradable properties meet environmental protection requirements.
IV. Analysis of typical application scenarios
Transparent toner system
(1) Suitable for transparent toner with essential oil active ingredients, the recommended amount is 0.5-2.0%
(2) Can be combined with hyaluronic acid, ceramide and other moisturizing ingredients to provide multiple skin care effects
(3) Suitable for solubilizing rose, lavender and other floral essential oils
Low foam makeup remover products
(1) The recommended amount of MY940PE in non-foaming makeup remover is 1.0-3.0%, which can effectively dissolve makeup.
(2) Suitable for use in sensitive areas such as eyes and lips, gentle and non-irritating
(3) Synergistically with ester makeup remover ingredients (such as
Isododecane) to improve the efficiency of makeup remover
Essence liquid system
(1) Add MY942 to vitamin C essence and niacinamide essence to increase fat-soluble antioxidants
(2) Maintain the refreshing texture of the essence and avoid stickiness
(3) Suitable for young consumer groups who pursue a "watery" texture
Natural skin care products
(1) Suitable for natural skin care formulas with high content of plant extracts
(2) It can solubilize a variety of plant essential oil complexes and keep the system transparent and stable.
(3) Meet the needs of the "Clean Beauty" market trend
V. Comprehensive application evaluation
OILREE® MY942 and MY940PE exhibit the following comprehensive characteristics in complex oil-water systems：
·Maintain high efficiency and stability in the solubilization of a variety of essential oils and oil-soluble active ingredients, and the solubilization efficiency is higher than that of traditional products.
·Provide a differentiated use experience, MY942 is suitable for high solubilization requirements, and MY940PE meets the requirements of low foaming and refreshing.
·Has good compatibility and formula stability, adapts to the range of pH 4.0-8.0
·Taking into account the efficacy and safety, in line with the trend of modern beauty products to be gentle and non-irritating
·Has obvious technical advantages in natural skin care and high-end beauty applications
The production process strictly controls the temperature, vacuum and stirring conditions to ensure the stability of the product batch.Each batch of products has undergone relevant testing and meets the requirements of international standards for cosmetic raw materials.
Conclusion
The differentiated positioning of OILREE® MY942 and MY940PE provides beauty brands with more innovative possibilities. They both maintain relatively stable solubilizing properties and gentle properties in complex oil-water systems, and are suitable for modern beauty products that require efficient solubilizing, refreshing skin feeling and gentle formula.Its differentiated technical characteristics provide the beauty industry with a technical path to upgrade from "basic solubilization" to "precise solubilization".Under appropriate formula design and use conditions, it can meet the diversified needs of consumers for natural, efficient and safe beauty products, and promote the development of beauty formula technology in a more refined and personalized direction.
