Waterproof sunscreen product formula upgrade
With the continuous improvement of global consumer demand for outdoor activities, whitening protection and long-lasting skin care, the market for sunscreen products is continuing to grow.From lightweight sunscreens used in daily commuting to waterproof sunscreens suitable for high-intensity scenes such as seaside and sports, consumers' requirements for sunscreens have not only stayed at the SPF and PA protection levels, but also paid more attention to the skin feeling, stability, sweat-proof and waterproof performance of the product, and long-term use experience.HuBei Mingya New Material Technology Co., Ltd.In response to the needs of the sunscreen, skin care and makeup markets, a complete W/O (Water in Oil) emulsification solution has been launched to provide more stable and efficient formulation support for waterproof sunscreen products.
Emulsification challenges in waterproof and sunscreen formulas
Sunscreen products usually contain a variety of different types of raw materials, such as oil-soluble ultraviolet filters, Emollients, structural modifiers, emulsifiers, and functional additives.Good compatibility needs to be maintained between these components, otherwise it is prone to problems such as stratification, viscosity changes, and stability degradation.Especially in high-oil-phase sunscreen formulas, emulsifiers not only need to help the two phases of oil and water form a stable structure, but also need to adapt to the combination of different types of oils and active ingredients.
At the same time, consumers' experience requirements for sunscreen products are also getting higher and higher.In the past, although some waterproof sunscreen products had good water resistance, they were prone to heavy, greasy or difficult to apply.Therefore, modern formula research and development not only pays attention to product function, but also attaches more importance to light skin feeling and comfort in use.
W/O emulsifying system meets the needs of multi-scene sunscreen
As a company focused on the research and development, production and export of cosmetic raw materials, Mingya has long paid attention to the development trend of the global personal care market, and continues to develop raw material solutions suitable for skin care, hair care and makeup fields.For waterproof sunscreen products, Mingya provides a variety of high-performance W/O emulsified raw material options，
- PEOFA™ MY986 (POLYGLYCERYL-3 DIISOSTEARATE): Universal compound Emulsifier for all categories
As one of the important components of Mingya W/O emulsification system, PEOFA™ MY986 has good oil phase adaptation ability and can be used to build a stable oil-in-water architecture.In the development of sunscreen products, such polyol fatty acid ester emulsifiers can help improve the stability of the oil-water interface, make the formula have a more uniform and delicate texture, and at the same time improve the stable performance of the product during storage.
- PEOFA™ MY987 (POLYGLYCERYL-2 TETRAOLEATE): To create A stable and soft sunscreen emulsion structure
For sunscreen products that pursue high oil phase and high protective properties, emulsifiers need to have good oil phase compatibility and strong system support capabilities.In practical applications, PEOFA™MY987 can help form a more stable W/O emulsified structure, so that the aqueous phase components are evenly distributed in the oil phase environment.For products such as sunscreens, sunscreen sticks, and high-power protective lotions, the stable emulsified structure not only affects the appearance of the product, but also relates to the sense of extension and application experience of consumers during use.
- OILREE® MY935 (PEG-30 DIPOLYHYDROXYSTEARATE): A key choice to improve the stability of the waterproof and sunscreen system
In addition to polyglyceride emulsifiers, PEG emulsifiers also play an important role in modern sunscreen formulas.Unlike a single functional raw material, an excellent emulsifying system needs to be comprehensively designed according to product positioning, oil comparison, and final use experience.In the formulation development of sunscreen products, OILREE® MY935 can help establish a more stable interface structure between the oil phase and the aqueous phase, especially suitable for product systems that require a higher oil phase carrying capacity.
Waterproof sunscreen products usually add more oil-soluble ingredients, such as sunscreens, emollient oils, and film-forming related raw materials.If the emulsification system is insufficient, the product is prone to decreased storage stability, texture changes, or uneven use.Therefore, when developing high-performance sunscreen products, formulation engineers often need to choose W/O emulsifiers with good stability, and combine other auxiliary ingredients to optimize the system.In addition to the field of sunscreen, OILREE® MY935 can also be used in a variety of personal care products according to different formula needs, such as moisturizing creams, care creams, and high-oil skin care products.
Emulsification technology promotes personal care product innovation
Under the trend of the integration of skin care and makeup, some products have both sunscreen, skin tone modification and moisturizing functions. Such products put forward higher requirements for the emulsifying system.A stable emulsifying system can help different functional ingredients better combine, so that the product has a more delicate skin feeling.For example, when developing a highly moisturizing sunscreen or makeup primer, the formula system usually needs to take into account moisture, ductility, and makeup holding effect.In related application fields, skin care concepts that consumers are familiar with, such as Makeup moisturizer, actually reflect the development direction of the integration of makeup and skin care.
How to choose the W/O and O/W emulsification system
In the process of cosmetic formula development, O/W (Oil in Water) and W/O (Water in Oil) are two common emulsifying systems.The O/W system usually has the characteristics of refreshing and easy to absorb, and is suitable for daily lotions, lightweight creams and other products.The W/O system is more suitable for products that require stronger protection, higher water resistance, and longer adhesion.
Sunscreen products, especially outdoor sunscreen and waterproof sunscreen products, need to face the influence of sweat, moisture and environmental factors, so the W/O system has obvious application advantages.Through the reasonable selection of emulsifiers, it can help the product form a more stable internal structure.
In addition to the emulsifier system, Mingya also pays attention to the development needs of the entire personal care industry.For example, the common catic softener and catic fabric softener systems in hair care products need to improve hair softness through cationic conditioning ingredients; and different types of auxiliary emulsifiers, such as Laurel 7, Peg 40 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG 60 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, etc., also play a role in different product systems.
Stable, efficient and professional development direction
As the global sunscreen market continues to grow, consumer requirements for product performance are also increasing.Future sunscreen products not only need to provide UV protection, but also need to meet, a lighter experience, a more stable product structure, a longer protective effect, and a skin care experience that is more in line with the needs of modern consumers.
Through continuous research and development and production experience accumulation, Mingya provides global customers with professional solutions including water in oil emulsion to help brands develop more stable and high-performance sunscreen products.In the future, Mingya will continue to pay attention to changes in the global personal care market, work with customers to explore more innovative formula possibilities, and provide more reliable raw material support for the beauty industry.
