Opening up social platforms, complaints about makeup remover can always resonate countless times: “Makeup remover oil stuffs acne to doubt life”“ "Makeup remover wipes your face flushed, sensitive muscles can't hold it”“ "After removing makeup, it is tight to the skin, and you feel that the skin's moisture is drained"... As the first step in skin care, the importance of makeup remover is self-evident, but the balance between “cleansing power” and “gentleness” has become a problem that bothers people.
I.Remove makeup pain points behind the back
Many people don't know that the core ingredient that determines the experience of makeup remover products is the often overlooked
Emulsifier.In simple terms, the oil components in makeup need to be dissolved by the oil phase in makeup remover products, and emulsifiers can make these dissolved makeup oils change rapidly when encountering water, forming an easy-to-rinse emulsion, which can leave the surface of the skin.
The dilemma of traditional makeup remover products lies precisely in emulsifiers: in order to pursue rapid emulsification, many products will add synthetic emulsifiers. Although these ingredients can achieve a cleansing effect, they can easily destroy the sebum film on the surface of the skin, causing sensitive muscles to redden and tingle, and some products that claim to be mild, due to the insufficient performance of the emulsifier, there are problems such as makeup remover residues and acne long-term closure.Data show that more than 70% of cases of damage to the skin barrier are related to long-term improper use of makeup remover products, of which improper selection of emulsifiers is one of the main causes.
What is even more disturbing is that the needs of different skin types seem to be inherently contradictory: oily skin needs a refreshing and acne-free formula, dry skin is eager to moisturize after removing makeup, and sensitive skin has extremely high requirements for ingredient safety.
II.Decrypt two pure natural emulsifiers
These two high-profile natural makeup remover emulsifiers are PEOFA™MYPGSQ0802 (polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate) and PEOFA™MYPGSQ1802 (polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate). Although their names are similar, they are adapted to a variety of skin care scenarios with their own characteristics, but their core advantages are obvious.
From the point of view of the source of the ingredients, both are non-ionic surfactants of plant origin, which reduces the hidden dangers of irritation of traditional synthetic emulsifiers.Among them, polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate is a light yellow transparent liquid, while polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate is a yellow liquid. Although the appearance is slightly different, they all have strong compatibility and can blend with various oils and fats, whether it is cleansing products such as makeup remover oil and makeup remover lotion, or skin care products such as creams, lotions, and moisturizing essences, they can be easily adapted to inject a smooth texture into the product texture.
In terms of core performance, they perform very well: as the key ingredient of makeup remover products, their makeup-dissolving ability is very excellent. Whether it is light makeup for daily commuting, waterproof and sweat-proof sunscreen, or heavy makeup with super makeup holding power, they can quickly wrap makeup particles and dissolve completely without repeated friction, reducing the damage caused by physical friction to the skin from the root cause.At the moment of adding water to emulsify, the two emulsifiers can quickly form a delicate milky shape, with no agglomeration and no residue. After rinsing, the surface of the skin is fresh and transparent. There is no greasy false smoothness, nor tightness and dryness. Discomfort, a perfect balance between cleansing power and moisture.
In terms of safety, these two emulsifiers have handed over reassuring answers.After testing, they are non-irritating to the skin and hair, and there is no risk of acne. Even sensitive muscles with fragile barriers, acne muscles, and even infant care products that require special care can be used with confidence.Its acid value, saponification value and other key indicators are in line with strict industry standards, and the purity is as high as 98% or more. The hidden dangers of skin caused by impurities are eliminated from the source of production, making every makeup remover a gentle skin care.
They are also very adaptable: for example, when used with natural oils such as
Caprylic capric triglyceride, they can further strengthen the skin nourishing effect and make the makeup remover process both cleansing and moisturizing.The combination with
Isododecane can optimize the freshness of the product and meet the needs of oily skin for burden-free makeup remover.After adding
Cyclopentasiloxane, the smoothness and ductility of the product will be taken to the next level, making the makeup remover experience more enjoyable.This flexible compound characteristic makes them a “wild raw material” in the makeup and skin care industry, providing more possibilities for brand research and development.
III.Industry trends
With the continuous upgrading of consumer skin care awareness, “Natural, gentle and safe” has become the core key word in the makeup and skin care market.Data show that in recent years, the market size of natural skin care products has grown at an average annual growth rate of more than 20%. Among them, transparent ingredients and plant sources have become the primary considerations for consumers when buying.Under this trend, the rise of pure natural makeup remover emulsifiers is not only an innovation at the product level, but also an inevitable development direction of the industry.
In the traditional makeup and skin care industry, synthetic ingredients dominate with the advantages of low cost and direct effect, but as consumers' attention to skin health continues to increase, the hidden dangers of synthetic ingredients have gradually attracted attention.The natural ingredients, with their gentle, safe, and strong compatibility characteristics, have become the key for brands to break through the market.These two natural makeup remover emulsifiers have grasped this market demand, with plant sources as the core, and with excellent performance and high safety, they have become the “new favorites” of many brands.
For brands, the selection of such natural emulsifiers can not only enhance the core competitiveness of products, but also convey the brand concept, which is in line with the current consumer's pursuit of pure and transparent ingredients.For consumers, the popularity of natural emulsifiers means that more safe and effective skin care products are available, so there is no need to worry about removing makeup and hurting the skin.
IV.Purchase guide
