Sorbitan Isostearate for Oil-in-Water Emulsions and Makeup

2026,10,02
OILREE®MY9120 SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE is a derivative of sorbitan isostearate, which presents a yellow liquid with good fluidity at room temperature. As a typical nonionic emulsified raw material, it has excellent overall compatibility and compatibility. It can coexist well with most common active ingredients such as oils, powders, and cationic conditioning components in the system.
 
Its core purpose is to serve as a reliable water in oil emulsion to build a stable oil-in-water cream skeleton.Many traditional oil-in-water emulsifiers are prone to system compatibility problems when facing high-content polar oils, and are prone to undesirable phenomena such as oil analysis, stratification, and rough paste particles, which add many obstacles to formula debugging.OILREE®MY9120 has a good tolerance to polar oils and fats, and a variety of polar oil phase raw materials can be freely introduced in the formula development stage, without excessive worry about the destruction of the emulsified skeleton.
 
Among sunscreen foundation products, it solves the dual pain points of powder dispersion and skin feeling
 
Sunscreen foundation belongs to a category with strong composite attributes. It combines the two major demands of sunscreen and base makeup at the same time. The complexity of the formula system is much higher than that of ordinary skin care creams.The inside of the formula will be filled with a large number of inorganic physical sunscreen powders and makeup pigments, and then a variety of sunscreens and emollient oils will be superimposed. The multiple components are mixed together, which is a great test of the skills of the emulsifying and dispersing system.Many sunscreen foundations on the market will appear agglomerated, unable to be pushed away, and mottled floating powder on the face. Store for a period of time, the powder settles and layers, removing the factors of the particle size treatment of the powder itself, and the inappropriate choice of emulsifying and dispersing raw materials is also a very critical cause. 
 
OILREE®MY9120 has excellent powder wetting and dispersing ability. When there are a large number of solid powder particles in the system, the raw material molecules can be adsorbed on the surface of the powder particles, reducing the tendency of the particles to agglomerate with each other, so that the powder can be evenly infiltrated in the oil solution.If the powder is fully wetted, the cream as a whole will become more delicate and smooth, and the finished product will have a uniform texture. When consumers apply it on the face, the ductility is improved, and it is not easy to accumulate color blocks. The initial makeup effect of the base makeup can be improved.
 
Many oil-in-water sunscreen base makeup, in the past, it was easy to step on the pit of heavy and stuffy skin. The natural oil phase of the oil-in-water formula accounts for a high proportion. If the emulsified raw materials are not selected properly, the finished product will form a heavy oily film after application, the skin feels sticky and stuffy, and the summer use experience is greatly reduced.The oil-in-water system built by OILREE®MY9120 can achieve stability while taking into account the refreshing touch, will not bring excessive greasy film feeling, balance the stability of the oil-in-water formula and the light and light experience that consumers pursue.When developing makeup-holding base makeup, it can be used with Makeup moisturizer to maintain the integrity of the makeup surface while relieving the problem of dryness and tightness of the base makeup. The two are combined to adapt to the direction of sunscreen foundation suitable for dry skin and dry skin.
 
Because of the adaptation to the cold matching process, in the development of sunscreen foundations, more heat-sensitive sunscreen ingredients can also be retained, without worrying about the loss of sunscreen effectiveness caused by high temperature.Of course, the formula design cannot completely rely on a single raw material. To make a sunscreen foundation with excellent comprehensive performance, the oil combination, powder surface treatment, and thickening system all need to cooperate with each other.OILREE®MY9120 assumes more of the basic role of emulsifying and wetting, helping the entire system to lay the underlying foundation.
 
The raw material can also be directly applied to ordinary oil-in-water skin care creams. For autumn and winter moisturizing creams and repairing oil-in-water creams, it can play an emulsifying and stabilizing role.Taking advantage of its tolerance to polar oils, more emollient polar oils can be added to give the cream a soft and moisturizing skin feeling under the premise of ensuring that the oil is not stratified, and it is suitable for product development in the field of repairing skin care.
 
 
Cross-border hair care track, optimize the flushing touch, and enable the cationic conditioning system
 
Many formulators' impression of OILREE®MY9120 is limited to the field of skin care and makeup. In fact, this raw material also has a good room for use in hair care products. Rinse-type hair care products such as conditioners and hair masks can be considered.Rinsing hair care products attach great importance to the feeling of use in the flushing stage. Some conditioning formulas will feel creamy and sticky when flushing, and they will not be washed cleanly. The residual feeling is very heavy, and the hair is easy to dry and knotted after drying.After OILREE®MY9120 is added to the formula, the smoothness of the flushing process can be optimized. It is smooth when flushing and will not form annoying sticky residues. After rinsing and drying, the hair can be harvested for soft combing.
 
The repairing and softening effect of the hair care formula is largely derived from the cationic conditioning components. The surface of the damaged hair scales has a negative charge. After the cationic substances are adsorbed and attached, the frizz is smoothed, the coefficient of friction between the hair is reduced, and the effect of softening and antistatic is achieved.
 
OILREE®MY9120 can effectively improve the adsorption of cations, assist the cationic conditioning components to better migrate and attach to the surface of the hair, and improve the utilization efficiency of the conditioning components.Under the same level of cationic addition, with this raw material, perm-dyed damaged hair can reap more obvious softening and repairing performance.In the development of hair care products, it will not be used as the core conditioning ingredient, but more of a synergistic raw material, which is used in combination with oils and cationic conditioners.
 
The idea of formula compounding and the details that need to be paid attention to in the actual development
 
When used as the main oil-in-water Emulsifier, adjust its own addition amount according to the proportion of oil phase in the system and the proportion of polar oils and fats, and adjust the hardness of the paste with waxy and thickening components to avoid the finished product from being too soft or too strong.When used as an emulsifier for oil-in-water formulas, it cannot be expected to support the emulsifying system independently. It must cooperate with the corresponding Oil in water emulsifier to strengthen the interface membrane and improve the paste physique and the stability of hot and cold storage.
 
Good compatibility with polar oils and fats is a highlight. Powder systems such as sunscreen foundations, in addition to using its wetting and dispersing properties, the surface treatment of the powder itself cannot be omitted. Raw materials can only improve the problem of powder agglomeration, and cannot make up for the lack of powder pretreatment links.In the application stage of the hair care system, it is necessary to focus on evaluating the interaction with other surfactants in the system, controlling the adsorption effect of cations, and preventing the appearance of flat and heavy hair.
 
From the perspective of the market dimension, the current consumer market demand is becoming more and more segmented. Consumers no longer only pursue a single effect. Skin care creams need to take into account stability and skin feeling, sunscreen foundations need to take into account the protective makeup effect, and hair care products pursue the dual experience of flushing and dry hair.As a mature raw material that has been verified by the market, OILREE®MY9120 relies on the physical form of a yellow liquid, excellent oil-in-water emulsification ability, powder wetting ability, and cationic synergistic effect. It spans multiple stages of skin care cream, sunscreen foundation, and hair care.
