In the formulation of personal care products, the performance of a single raw material is often difficult to meet the multi-dimensional needs of consumers.As a gentle lipid excipients, OILREE® MY907 uses peg 7 glyceryl cocoate as the core ingredient. With its excellent compatibility and conditioning properties, can it be combined with other raw materials in a multi-effect care formula to create a product with better performance? The answer is yes.The following analyzes the application potential of MY907 in multi-formula compounding from multiple dimensions.
MY907 is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a safety rating of 1-4 green and a packaging specification of 50kg /barrel.Its core ingredient peg 7 glyceryl cocoate is both hydrophilic and oleophilic. This structural characteristic gives it a natural advantage in multi-raw material compounding-it can not only stably blend with the aqueous phase components, but also form a synergistic system with the oil phase active substances, which provides a “bridge” for the development of multi-effect care formulas.
Firstly, in care products, cleansing surface activity is the core ingredient, but such ingredients often cause problems of dry skin caused by excessive cleansing power.When MY907 is combined with the clean watch, the balance can be achieved through the following mechanisms：
1.Skin feeling optimization: The ester-based structure of PEG-7 glycerol cocoleate can be adsorbed on the surface of the skin during the cleaning process, forming a breathable lipid membrane, which reduces the excessive peeling of the skin's natural oils by cleaning the surface.For example, in amino acid cleanser, adding 1-3% of MY907 can reduce the moisture loss rate of the skin after cleansing, while maintaining the richness of the foam.
2.Formula stability: The PEG segments in its molecules have good water solubility, and when combined with anionic and nonionic surfactants (such as
Coco glucoside systems such as OILREE® MY AP-18), there will be no stratification or demulsification, and the system can be maintained in a storage environment from room temperature to 30℃. Stable.
3.Application scenario extension: In makeup remover, MY907 can be combined with oil-phase makeup remover ingredients to achieve rapid dissolution of makeup and gentle skin protection through the oil-in-water emulsifying structure, avoiding the greasy residue of traditional makeup remover oil.
Secondly, the trend of high-end care products requires formulas to have more effects (such as moisturizing, antioxidant, and soothing). The combination of MY907 and functional active substances can effectively achieve this goal.：
1.Synergy of moisturizing ingredients: When combined with hyaluronic acid, ceramide and other moisturizing ingredients, the lipophilicity of MY907 can enhance the water-locking effect of moisturizing ingredients.Taking moisturizing shower gel as an example, adding MY907 and ceramide can increase the moisture retention rate of the skin after bathing, and the skin feels smoother.
2.Dispersion of active substances: For oil-soluble active substances (such as vitamin E and plant essential oils), the emulsifying properties of MY907 can evenly disperse them in the aqueous phase system to avoid uneven efficacy caused by agglomeration of active substances.For example, in the antioxidant shampoo formula, 1% MY907 can control the dispersion particle size of oil-soluble vitamin E within 5µm, ensuring that every strand of hair can come into contact with the active ingredient.
3.Adaptability of sensitive muscles: Its gentle and non-irritating properties allow it to be combined with soothing ingredients to create exclusive care products for sensitive muscles.In baby shampoo, the combination of MY907 and such soothing ingredients can effectively reduce the risk of irritation of the product to the baby's delicate scalp.
Thirdly, the texture of care products is largely determined by the thickening and foaming stabilization system, and MY907 can also play an active role in this regard.：
Compatible with thickening system: When combined with common thickeners and
Thickening suspension, the molecular structure of MY907 will not destroy the mesh structure of the thickener, but can enhance the consistency stability of the system through hydrogen bonding.In the shampoo formula, the combination of MY907 and xanthan gum can make the viscosity of the shampoo drop only a little after 3 months of storage at room temperature, which is better than a single thickening system.
Foam performance optimization: When combined with a foam stabilizer, MY907 can refine the foam structure and make the foam more dense and long-lasting.In bubble bath products, the compound with cocamide can increase the foam height and bring consumers a more pleasant bathing experience.
Improved low temperature stability: In autumn and winter care products containing high levels of active substances, MY907 can reduce the crystallization point of the system.For example, in a moisturizing body lotion containing vegetable oils and fats, adding MY907 can make the product free of crystallization and precipitation in a low temperature environment, ensuring the use experience in the northern winter.
What are the precautions and application cases for compounding?
When compounding multiple formulas, the FOLLOWING details need to be paid attention to to maximize the performance of OILREE® MY907：
1.Dosage interval control：
Cleansing products (cleansing, makeup remover, shower gel): It is recommended to add 1%-3%, which needs to match the core requirements of cleansing power, and at the same time meet the quality requirements of “acid value ≤5mg KOH/g, color ≤150APHA”.For example, in amino acid cleansers, it can form a stable system with non-ionic surfactants such as coconut oil-based glucosides, which does not affect the foam richness, and can reduce the loss of natural skin oils through the ester-based structure of PEG-7 glycerol cocoleate.If used in makeup remover, 2%-3% of the added amount can be combined with the oil-phase makeup remover ingredients to form an oil-in-water structure, which quickly dissolves waterproof makeup, and there is no residue after rinsing. This is consistent with the characteristics of easy cleaning after operation in MY907, while avoiding the sticky feeling after rinsing due to excessive use.
Nourishing products (conditioner, body lotion, cream): can be increased to 5%-10%, need to strengthen the water-locking and repairing function, fit in MY907 as a supplementary oil, can make the skin feel more natural and smooth.For example, the combination of MY907 and shea butter can take advantage of its fat-soluble advantages to form a dense lipid membrane on the surface of the skin, and it is in the stable range of pH 5.5-6.5, and the 24-hour moisture retention rate can reach 85%; however, it should be noted that the amount added to the conditioner should not exceed 10%, otherwise it may cause hair to collapse due to excessive ester-based ingredients.
Dosage adjustment for special scenarios: In infant care products, because MY907 is slightly irritating to the skin, it is recommended to control the dosage at 1%-2%, and use soothing ingredients to reduce the risk of irritation. In cleansing products for oily acne muscles, 1% of the added amount can balance the cleansing power and gentleness, and avoid excessive cleansing and damage to the skin barrier.
2.pH Adaptability：
Adaptation to conventional care scenarios: The pH design of most care products (such as shampoo and shower gel) is usually 5.5-7.0, which is highly compatible with the stable range of MY907 without additional adjustments.For example, in a scalp care essence with a pH of 6.0, a compound of 0.5% panthenol and 2% MY907 can be used to form a stable hydrogen bond with panthenol with the help of hydroxyl and ester groups in the MY907 molecule to ensure that the system is stored at room temperature for 3 months without stratification and discoloration, while not affecting the soothing and repairing effects of panthenol.
pH adjustment of acidic conditioning products: If the compound is an acidic product with a pH <5.5, you need to use a buffer in advance to adjust the pH to above 5.5.Taking an anti-dandruff shampoo containing 1% zinc pyrithion as an example, if MY907 is directly compounded, the pH of the system may drop to 4.8, resulting in hydrolysis of the ester-based structure of MY907, precipitation of components, and inactivation of zinc pyrithion. After adding 0.3% sodium citrate to adjust the pH to 5.8, the stability of the system is significantly improved, not only retaining the liposuction effect of MY907, but also ensuring the anti-dandruff activity of zinc pyrithion.
Avoidance of alkaline scenarios: It is necessary to avoid compounding with alkaline ingredients with a pH>8.0, otherwise it will cause the ester group of MY907 to be completely hydrolyzed, produce irritating fatty acids, and destroy the emulsification balance of the system. If accidentally compounded, product stratification, odor and other problems may occur, and even cause the risk of skin irritation.
Finally
With its gentleness, compatibility and liposuction properties, OILREE® MY907 shows strong adaptability in the complex of multi-effect care formulas.It can not only work in concert with clean surface activities to solve the pain points of the clean and dry industry, but also integrate with functional active substances and thickening and foaming systems to expand the boundaries of product efficacy and texture.Whether it is a gentle care for sensitive skin or an effective product that pursues a high-end experience, MY907 can become a key raw material in the formula, helping brands create differentiated care solutions.
