Polyglyceride raw materials have many advantages such as natural origin, low irritation, and wide adaptation range, and are widely used in various personal care products such as cleansing, skin care, and care.Among them, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate (PEOFA™ MYPG1210) and Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate (PEOFA™MYPG1410) are two classic raw materials frequently used by formulators. The two have the same decameric glycerol hydrophilic skeleton, and the basic physical and chemical properties are similar. The industrial packaging is 20kg/barrel, and the formula adapts to the addition amount in the range of 1%-4%, and they are both safe and green daily chemical raw materials.
The only core difference between the two raw materials lies in the length of the fatty acid carbon chain at the hydrophobic end and the subtle molecular structure differences, which allow them to form completely complementary characteristics in foam performance, cleansing ability, skin feeling effect, and formula adaptation scenarios. It is also the key reason why daily chemical formulas will not completely replace each other.In order to allow industry practitioners to more clearly distinguish the application value of the two raw materials, this article will explain the core characteristics and beauty personal care application scenarios of MYPG1210 and MYPG1410 respectively.At the same time, the two raw materials have excellent compatibility, and can be stably combined with common emollient components such as
CETYL PALMITATE, effectively optimizing the overall texture of the formula system.
PEOFA™ MYPG1210（Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate）
MYPG1210 is a decameric glyceride synthesized by laurate esterification. It has a C12 short carbon chain molecular structure, high overall molecular activity and excellent water solubility. It is a mild nonionic surfactant that focuses on refreshing, clean and efficient foaming.Relying on the structural advantages of short carbon chains, the raw material has a fast molecular stretching speed after encountering water, and can quickly absorb oil, dust and light makeup residues on the surface of the skin. The foaming response speed is very outstanding, and it can quickly generate a fluffy and rich foam system. The cleaning efficiency is stable and suitable for daily deep cleaning scenarios.
In terms of skin feeling performance, the biggest feature of MYPG1210 is that it is refreshing and residue-free. After cleaning, it will not form a heavy protective film on the surface of the skin. It can quickly detach from the surface of the skin. After washing, the skin is transparent and dry, and there will be no sticky and stuffy skin at all. It is highly suitable for oily, oily skin and summer high temperature scenes. Cleaning needs.For consumers whose pores are easy to clog and their skin is prone to oil, this raw material can achieve efficient oil control and cleansing on the basis of ensuring mild and low irritation, taking into account cleanliness and comfort.
In the actual formulation application, the adaptation scenarios of this raw material are very wide, and the core focus is on various types of washable refreshing personal care products.It is often used in foam cleansing mousse, amino acid compound cleansing products, makeup remover cleansing two-in-one products, and can also be added to shampoo, shower gel and other body care products.In the makeup remover formula system, MYPG1210 relies on its excellent oil emulsifying ability to quickly dissolve daily light and thin makeup such as foundation and makeup remover, realize one-step cleansing and makeup remover, and simplify the daily skin care process.
In order to further optimize the performance of the formula, the cleaning system of this raw material can be used in combination with
Peg 7 glyceryl cocoate, which can effectively balance the cleaning strength and basic moisturizing performance, and solve the common problems in the industry that are prone to excessive dryness or insufficient cleaning power in a single cleaning surface activity.From the point of view of market adaptability, MYPG1210 accurately fits the needs of mass consumers for refreshing care products. It is cost-effective and has a high formula fault tolerance rate. Whether it is mass-produced cheap daily chemical products or conventional mid-range skin care and care products, it can achieve stable application and is the core basic raw material of refreshing personal care formula.
PEOFA™ MYPG1410（Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate）
PEOFA™ MYPG1410 is a decameric glyceride synthesized by esterification of myristic acid. It adopts a C14 long carbon chain molecular structure. Compared with the C12 short carbon chain structure, it has stronger molecular stability, better film-forming properties, and milder interfacial activity. It is a multifunctional emulsified cleansing raw material that focuses on soothing, repairing, moisturizing and moisturizing.The cleansing logic of this raw material is different from the traditional powerful cleansing surface activity. It will not quickly peel off the natural sebum membrane on the surface of the skin. It only gently removes dust and excess dirt from the surface of the skin, and retains the skin's own moisturizing barrier to the greatest extent. Reduce dryness, tightness, and redness after cleansing from the root cause.
At the level of foam and skin feeling, the foaming speed of MYPG1410 is relatively gentle, and the total amount of foam is slightly lower than that of MYPG1210, but the foam body is more delicate and dense, the durability is higher, and the foam feels warm to the touch. It can effectively reduce skin friction and irritation during the cleaning process.After the cleansing is over, the raw materials will form a thin and breathable moisturizing protective film on the surface of the skin, which locks in skin moisture for a long time and brings a warm and comfortable feeling of skin after washing. It is perfectly adapted to dry skin, sensitive muscles, damaged barrier muscles and other fragile skin types. It is also the preferred core raw material for infant and child personal care products, which fits the maintenance needs of low irritation and heavy moisturizing of infant and child skin.
In terms of formula adaptability, MYPG1410 breaks through the limitations of a single cleansing raw material. Relying on its excellent
Oil in water emulsifier ability, it can be widely used in skin care and repair products, no longer limited to cleansing and care categories.In skin care formulas such as lotions, creams, serums, etc., this raw material can evenly blend the oil components with the water-based active ingredients, effectively avoid product stratification and precipitation, and greatly improve the storage stability and application texture of skin care products.
As the fields of sensitive muscle repair, baby skin care, and gentle skin care continue to heat up, the market advantages of MYPG1410 are becoming more and more prominent.Many skin care brands that specialize in safe and gentle skin care have used them to replace traditional irritating synthetic raw materials and enhance the gentle level of products and the added value of skin care.At the same time, the raw material is extremely adaptable and can be used with various functional additives. Combined with
Thickening suspension additives, it can also optimize product consistency and suspension stability, and solve problems such as cream, emulsion, and care product thinning, powder precipitation, etc.
Overall, there is no distinction between the performance advantages and disadvantages of MYPG1210 and MYPG1410. Only the structural characteristics are different and the adaptation scenarios are complementary. They correspond to the two core market needs of refreshing oil control and gentle moisturizing, covering the general public's daily skin care and refined repair skin care product development needs in all directions.
