Refreshing skin feeling, the demand is heating up, water-soluble moisturizing and lubricating raw materials provide a new choice for the formula
Adding moisturizing raw materials can make the skin feel more obviously soft, but if the oil phase or viscosity of the entire system is too high, it can easily affect the subsequent use experience.Conversely, if you blindly reduce the greasy feeling, the product may appear to lack moisture.
In this context, raw materials that are water-soluble and can provide moisturizing and lubricating effects at the same time have begun to attract attention.OILREE®MY9176 PEG/PPG-17/6 COPOLYMER belongs to this category of raw materials, which can be used in creams, lotions, essences, and some hair care and styling products, and can provide new options for formula adjustment from the perspective of skin feeling.
Why do moisturizing products pay more and more attention to freshness
If a product stays on the surface of the skin after application, it is easy to produce a sticky feel. Even if the moisture content is good, it may make consumers feel that it is not comfortable enough to use.Especially in daily skin care, multiple products often need to be used in combination.If each layer has a strong viscosity, the final skin feeling will become heavy.
What consumers need is a sense of moisturizing, but not a simple greasy feeling; they hope that the product can be spread out smoothly, but they don't want the surface of the skin to remain sticky after use.In the past, when evaluating moisturizers, the focus may have been on the moisturizing ability itself, but now it is necessary to consider its impact on ductility, lubrication, viscosity and final skin feeling.
Formula ideas brought about by water-soluble raw materials
In products such as lotions, essences, and creams, the aqueous phase usually accounts for a large proportion.Raw materials that can adapt to the aqueous phase system can participate in the skin texture adjustment of the product without purely increasing the burden on the oil phase.
OILREE®MY9176 is water-soluble and can be used as a Moisturizer and lubricant.Unlike the idea of simply increasing oil to improve softness, it can start from the aqueous phase system and provide another adjustment direction for the formula.Different raw materials have different functions, and in the end they still need to be combined according to the product dosage form and the target skin feeling.
For example, a lightweight lotion may pay more attention to ductility and freshness, while a moisturizing cream requires a more pronounced softness.Essence often requires the product to be spread out quickly, while avoiding obvious stickiness after use.The selection of raw materials ultimately needs to go back to the specific formula, rather than evaluating a certain ingredient separately.
The characteristics of OILREE®MY9176 are more suitable for understanding from the perspective of skin feeling
OILREE®MY9176 is water-soluble, moisturizing, lubricating, and can bring a refreshing, silky and delicate skin feeling.Among them, reducing the stickiness is a point that deserves more attention.
For some moisturizing formulas, the product's susceptibility to stickiness is not necessarily caused by a single raw material, but may be related to the proportion of raw materials in the entire system.The combination of moisturizers, thickeners, oil phase components, and emulsifying systems may all affect the final sense of use.
OILREE®MY9176 can be used as an option in this process.The silky feeling it brings is not simply to increase the oily feeling, but to make the product smoother during application and reduce the obvious sticky experience.In addition, its dispersion properties can also provide some help for formula design.
Essences and lotions are more worthy of attention in the application direction
Essence products need to be easy to roll out.If the product itself has a strong viscosity, it is prone to drag and drop when applied, and the subsequent stacking of other skin care products may also increase the heavy experience.Emulsions need to strike a balance between fluidity, stability and moisture.Consumers usually want the lotion to be pushed away quickly, and the skin feels soft after application, but it will not be in a sticky state for a long time.
In such products, OILREE®MY9176 can be used as a moisturizing and lubricating raw material in combination with a specific formula.If the product adopts an oil-in-water system, the impact of the Emulsifier on the final skin feeling needs to be considered at the same time.At this time, you can add Oil in water emulsion series products to make overall adjustments to the emulsion structure, oil comparison, and skin feeling.
What cream products need to solve is not a simple weight problem
Compared with essences and lotions, creams usually need to provide a more obvious sense of moisturizing, so the comparison and structure of the oils in the formula will be different, but moisturizing is not equal to heavyness.
A good face cream should have a certain degree of softness when applied, while maintaining good ductility.If the product is too heavy, consumers will obviously feel procrastination during use; if the product is too light, it may not be able to meet the needs of the target population for moisture, and the skin texture adjustment of the cream formula is often more dependent on the combination of raw materials.
OILREE®MY9176 can be added to the system as a water-soluble moisturizing and lubricating ingredient, and participate in the design of skin sensation from another direction.If other water-soluble moisturizing raw materials need to be used in the system, they can be matched according to the overall formula requirements.For example, some systems will use raw materials such as Laureth 7 to participate in the emulsification or skin-feeling design of the product.
Brightening and skin-brightening formulas also have room for application
In addition to conventional moisturizing and lubricating purposes, OILREE®MY9176 can also be used for the development of brighteners and skin brighteners in creams, lotions and essences.
If the oil content in the formula is high, although it can produce a certain luster, it may also increase the greasy feeling at the same time.Therefore, for products that emphasize natural luster and light skin feeling, how to use different raw materials to obtain a more coordinated vision and touch needs to be considered in combination with the formula structure.When the product has good spreadability and uniformity, the skin feeling after use is usually more delicate.
Hair care products also have a demand for refreshing lubrication
The application range of OILREE®MY9176 can also be extended to hair care and styling products.The lubrication requirements in hair care products actually have certain similarities with skin care products.During the process of shampoo, combing and styling, friction will occur between the hair, so the product needs to help improve the smoothness of the hair.The refreshing, silky and delicate characteristics of OILREE®MY9176 make it a formula choice in hair care and styling products.
The market demand behind the refreshing formula is still expanding
The application characteristics of OILREE®MY9176 correspond to this change.It is water-soluble and can be used for moisturizing and lubricating in skin care products. At the same time, it can bring a refreshing, silky, and delicate skin feeling, and help reduce the stickiness of the system.For creams, lotions and essences that need to take into account the moisturizing and lightweight experience, these characteristics have certain application value.At the same time, its use in hair care and styling products has further expanded the scope of application of its formula.
Therefore, the value of moisturizing raw materials is no longer just to provide moisturizing effects.Raw materials that can take into account lubrication, dispersion and skin sensation regulation on the basis of moisturizing will bring more choices to formula development.Especially in lightweight essences, lotions and creams, how to reduce stickiness while retaining a certain degree of softness is still a question worth continuing to study.
