What cosmetics can be used in? What are the advantages?
Cleaning products
For example, shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, and other cleansing products, when added, can make the consistency of the product just right and not easily layered. When used, whether applied to hair or skin, it can feel refreshing and moisturizing, and there will be no greasy residue after washing.
Skincare products
Products like face cream and lotion left on the face after application can make the texture more delicate and comfortable, help lock up moisture, and make the moisturizing effect more lasting. At the same time, the product is not easy to deteriorate, and the effective ingredients can be evenly distributed.
Hair care products
For example, hair conditioners and hair masks can make wet hair feel more moisturized and smooth when used, and can also keep hair soft and shiny after drying, giving it a healthy and glossy appearance.
How effective is it in actual use?
Whether it's shampoo for daily use or face cream applied in the morning and evening, the experience of the product can be significantly improved after the addition of MYPT99-150, which is also the reason why many enterprises are willing to use it.
Let's talk about cleaning products first. Take shampoo as an example, usually adding 1% to 5% OIL REE ® MYPT99-150， Can make the consistency of shampoo just right. When washing hair, it can reduce the friction between hair, especially for people with dry hair. It will not cause pain due to rubbing and pulling, and the hair is not easily tangled after washing. It is very smooth when combing. Shower gel and facial cleanser are the same. After adding them, they are easier to apply and the skin will not become tight after washing. Whether it is dry skin or oily skin, they feel comfortable to use.
Look at the skin care products. If it is added to the face cream, the texture will become more dense. When applied to the face, it can be easily pushed away, absorbed quickly, and there is no greasy feeling on the face. It can also lock in the moisture on the face, and the face will not feel dry after applying it from morning to afternoon. If lotion is added, it can prevent water and oil from separating. Even if it is stored on the dresser at room temperature, oil and water will not separate, and it will feel even. And its pH value is between 6 and 8, which is similar to the pH of our skin. Even if sensitive skin uses skincare products containing it, it is not easy to feel irritated.
In hair care products, its function is also very obvious. After adding conditioner or hair mask, applying it to wet hair can make the hair feel smooth and silky. After rinsing, the hair will not be as frizzy as before. Especially for hair that is often dyed and permed, over time you can feel that the hair quality is gradually improving, it won't break so easily, and it looks shiny, unlike before when it was dried like straw. In addition, it can also "get along" well with other common ingredients in hair care products, without affecting the overall effect of the product, and the formulator can also adjust the product formula more flexibly.
It is worth mentioning that when MYPT99-150 is used in combination with our cosmetic ingredients such as
Coco glucoside and
Hydrogenated castor oil, the effect can be even better, and the matching ratio can be adjusted according to the desired product effect. If used together with
Emulsifier for cosmetics, it can also make the product more stable, even for slightly more complex formulas, it can maintain good condition.
Why is it so popular?
MYPT99-150 is recognized among many thickening and suspension agents mainly because it has many advantages in performance, safety, and applicability, which perfectly meets the current demand for cosmetics.
Firstly, it is multi-faceted, with one ingredient capable of simultaneously thickening, lubricating, and moisturizing without the need to add multiple single functional ingredients to the product. This not only simplifies the formula but also helps businesses reduce costs. And the thickening effect is very stable, whether it is hot in summer or cold in winter, the viscosity of the product will not change too much. The lubrication effect is also mild, which will not affect the cleansing power of the product or the absorption of the skin. The moisturizing effect can also be sustained, and it can be clearly felt comfortable to use.
Secondly, its properties are very stable. It usually appears as a white paste or wax like substance, with its own unique odor, and can dissolve well in oil, dispersing evenly in the product. As mentioned earlier, its pH value is close to that of the skin, and its moisture content does not exceed 2%. It is stored in a suitable place, not easily spoiled, and can be stored for a long time. In addition, its CAS number is 130249 48 8 and its molecular weight is 1576.42 Da. These data are very clear and can ensure that the performance of each batch of products is similar.
Moreover, it is very safe to use. As a cosmetic ingredient, it has undergone strict testing, meets industry standards, has no special usage taboos, and does not require special warning labels. Storage is also convenient, as long as it is kept at room temperature, away from light, and sealed, without the need for specialized refrigeration equipment, making it easy for enterprises to store.
Finally, it has a wide range of applications. Whether it is a rinse: shampoo, body wash, or face cream and lotion applied on the face, it can play a role. In addition, the dosage is flexible. According to the demand of the product, 1% to 5% is enough. For example, for products used on the face such as face cream, a low dosage is enough. The formulator can adjust the dosage according to the characteristics of different products.
What should I pay attention to when using it?
Although MYPT99-150 has many advantages, there are still several aspects that need to be noted in practical use in order to maximize its effectiveness.
Firstly, pay attention to the combination with other raw materials. Although it can be well matched with most raw materials, if you want to use it with some new and less commonly used raw materials, it is best to conduct a small test first to see if the product will layer or precipitate after mixing, and if it can maintain stability at different temperatures. If there are no problems, then mass production can be carried out.
Secondly, the amount of addition should be well controlled. If you add too little, you may not achieve the desired thickening effect, and the product will still be very thin and prone to layering; Adding too much will make the product too thick, making it difficult to push open and affecting the user experience. So it is necessary to add according to the recommended dosage range, and adjust the specific addition ratio based on whether the product is to be washed off or left on the skin.
Thirdly, storage should be carried out according to the requirements. If placed in direct sunlight or damp places, it may increase the moisture content of the product and affect its performance. Therefore, it must be kept at room temperature, away from light, dry, and sealed to ensure that it remains in good condition throughout its shelf life.
