I.The development of cost-effective hair mask formula ushered in new opportunities
Nowadays, perm dyeing and styling have long been integrated into the daily life of the public. Problems such as dry frizz, bifurcation of hair, and static electricity in combing hair caused by frequent chemical treatment and external environmental erosion continue to drive the market demand for hair care products.Among the many hair care categories, hair masks have always occupied a stable market share with their stronger moisturizing and repairing capabilities. Many care brands have a dual appeal in the new product planning stage. On the one hand, they hope that the finished product will be smooth to apply and come with exquisite pearlescent visual effects to enhance the attractiveness of the product; on the other hand, there is an urgent need for stable compatibility, easy factory mass production, and mature reference solutions that can effectively control the cost of raw materials.
Mingya has completed the landing of the research and development formula of the pearlescent softening hair mask. The complete set of solutions is fully equipped with Mingya's self-developed characteristic raw materials to achieve a balance between the hair conditioning effect, the long-term storage stability of the cream, the appearance and texture of the finished product, and the control of production costs. It provides a set of highly practical reference ideas for the development of new products for care processing plants and domestic and foreign beauty brands.
II.Multiphase raw materials work together to build a supple hair care system
The reference formula of pearlescent softening hair mask focuses on the circulation of popular daily chemicals, and is fed in strict accordance with the standardized emulsification process. The division of labor of various raw materials is clear, and a cream system that integrates moisturizing and locking, smoothing hair scales, antistatic, and brightening hair luster is jointly built. In addition to the selection of industry-common oils, polyol moisturizers, and silicon conditioning raw materials, the complete formula introduces two characteristic raw materials OSMFACT® MY1831ES and OILREE®MY749-B independently developed and produced by Mingya. These two products are also the key components that determine the experience of using this hair mask and hair care.
- OSMFACT® MY1831ES STEARTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, which belongs to alkyl quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant, is the core hair conditioning component of the formula.Compared with similar quaternary ammonium salt products on the market, the carbon chain range is narrower and the conditioning is more targeted. After being put into the system, the cationic structure can be actively adsorbed on the surface of the negatively charged hair scales, smoothing the outward rolling scale structure, reducing the coefficient of friction between the hair, improving the problem of dry and wet hair combing and caton, and long-term inhibition of static electricity flying in the hair.After many tests and debugging, it can not only exert sufficient softening and repairing effect, but also avoid the heavy and sticky, unclean flushing and other problems caused by excessive cationic acid, and is suitable for neutral hair, dry hair, and long-term perm-dyed damaged hair.The raw materials have excellent compatibility with fatty alcohols and silicones in the system, and work in concert with Bis diglyceryl polyacyladipate 2 to further optimize the smooth touch of the hair after rinsing, balancing the two major pain points of dryness and excessive false slippage.
- OILREE®MY749-B BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, often referred to as plant lanolin in the industry, traditional formulas often rely on natural lanolin to enhance moisture, but natural lanolin is very short-term, long-term storage, continuous temperature fluctuations, easy to change color, odor changes, after high-temperature emulsification processing, the stability of the emulsion is easy to decline. OILREE®MY749-B effectively makes up for various defects of natural lanolin. The viscosity characteristics in the range of 25 to 70℃ are close to that of natural lanolin, but there will be no viscosity fluctuations due to changes in light, storage time, and ambient temperature. Under high temperature processing conditions, the color is still stable, and the light neutral odor is maintained throughout the process.It can be blended with oils, waxes, and viscosity regulators such as tetracyl alcohol and cetyl stearyl alcohol, and components such as paraffin, triglycerides, and mineral lipids can be combined with it.Used in hair mask products, it can give the cream a soft and stretched consistency, form a light and breathable moisturizing film on the surface of the hair, enhance the ability of the hair to lock in water, and feel refreshing when applied to the skin. , Will not form a heavy oil film accumulated on the surface of the hair.In addition to hair care products, it is also suitable for baby skin cream, lipstick and other categories, with rich application scenarios.
III.The stability of the formula has outstanding advantages and reduces the debugging pressure in the mass production stage
Formula stability has always been the core concern of shampoo and care R&D personnel. Hair care creams containing a large number of polyols, silicones and cationic conditioners are prone to stratification, pearlescent regression, and significant changes in consistency during hot and cold cycle testing and long-term standing storage.Many hair care formulas are more difficult to emulsify under a high polyol system. The excellent miscibility of OILREE®MY749-B can help the oil phase components to be more evenly dispersed in the aqueous phase, effectively improving the heat resistance of the emulsion. Compared with similar formulas that directly add natural lanolin, the stability advantage of the finished product is very obvious. In the development stage of the care formula, the oil phase dispersion effect and the long-term stability of the system need to be taken into account at the same time. A suitable Oil in water emulsion can simplify the debugging of the formula and avoid various problems such as precipitation and stratification in the mass production stage.
IV.It is suitable for popular washing and care products, and the formula has sufficient adjustment flexibility
Mingya's two core characteristic raw materials can be stably supplied in large quantities, reducing the communication costs caused by the brand's docking with multiple suppliers.Formulation engineers can flexibly adjust this basic plan. If you want to strengthen the repair ability, you can adjust the proportion of silicone added; if you want to reduce the heavyness of the cream, you can fine-tune the amount of fatty alcohol used; if the brand focuses on the positioning of fragrance care, you can also change the flavor category to match the product tone. The market segmentation trend of the care market is deepening, and consumers are no longer only satisfied with the short-term smooth effect, but also put forward more expectations for the appearance, aroma, long-term use experience, and the mildness of the formula.
Hair mask with pearlescent texture has obvious visual advantages in similar products. Whether it is offline shelf display or short video online promotion, it is easier to attract attention, stable and long-lasting moisturizing and softening experience, and can continue to accumulate consumers' willingness to repurchase. Cationic Conditioner is an indispensable core raw material for hair care products. A Cationic Softener with balanced and stable performance can greatly shorten the debugging cycle of hair care prescriptions, and the OSMFACT® MY1831ES conditioning performance is stable. In addition to this hair mask formula, it can also be flexibly reused in a variety of hair care products such as conditioner and disposable conditioner.
V.Relying on its own raw material matrix, it will continue to output washing and care application solutions
Mingya continues to deepen the research and development of cosmetic raw materials and the output of application formulas. In addition to the reference formula of this pearlescent softening hair mask, it continues to export mature and landing application solutions to the care and skin care industries, covering cleaning products, conditioning creams, skin cream creams and other categories.The company independently develops a series of products such as cationic conditioners, polyesterone emollient raw materials, and emulsifiers, and continues to provide raw material support and supporting formula technical services for domestic and foreign beauty foundries and care brands.
VI. Conclusion
The market competition in the shampoo and hair care industry continues to intensify, and there are a large number of homogenized products on the market. If you want to create a hair care product with differentiated competitiveness, it is a practical path to optimize from the bottom formula raw materials.The polyols, silicones, fatty alcohols, cationic conditioners, and emollient esters in the formula form a synergistic network. After washing and repairing, they continue to care for damaged hair, reduce hair damage caused by daily environment and repeated perm dyeing, and bring consumers a salon-like soft hair care experience that can be experienced at home.
