OILREE® MY96 is a classic O/W Emulsifier pair. It can be used to formulate a delicate-looking emulsion that is ion-resistant, acid-base-resistant, and stable in viscosity for a long time. Recommended dosage: 1-5%
First of all: understand the inherent advantages of waxy emulsifiers
When visiting the skin care product raw material exhibition every day, many formulators will notice the white waxy texture at first glance, and they can smell the faint characteristic smell of the raw material itself when they get close, without the pungent chemical odor.This raw material is composed of 98% ceteareth-6 combined with 2% stearyl alcohol. The two components perform their respective functions and work together to build a stable nonionic emulsifying skeleton. As an Oil in water emulsifier, it can break through the shortcomings of traditional emulsification. The key.
As the main ingredient, Ceteareth-6 belongs to polyoxyethylene nonionic surfactants. Stearyl alcohol is commonly referred to as octyl alcohol. It has oil-soothing properties and can be used as an emulsifying and emollient aid in the formula to reduce the dryness and tightness of the finished product after application. After the two raw materials are combined, the hydrophilic and oleophilic proportions are just balanced.
From the point of view of physical and chemical indicators, the hydroxyl value of MY96 is stably controlled in the range of 100~110mgKOH/g, the pH of one percent of the aqueous solution falls in the range of 6~7 neutral, and the water content is strictly controlled within one percent. Low water content can avoid long-term storage of raw materials hydrolyzed stratification, and reduce the risk of deterioration of raw material storage.Many cheap emulsified raw materials on the market are easily disturbed by electrolytes and organic acids of plant extracts in the formula, and the paste effluent, stratification, and viscosity drop precipitously. MY96 is ion-resistant and acid-base-resistant. Even if high-concentration plant extracts, polyols, and mineral salts are added to the formula, the emulsifying system is not easy to demulsify.
The storage level is designed in 20 kg sealed barrels. It needs to be stored in a closed environment at room temperature, dark and ventilated, without low-temperature refrigeration. The storage pressure of small and medium-sized cosmetics factories is lower. For oem brands that mass-produce skin care products, the optimization of storage costs is also very good.
Secondly: the whole scene landed
2.1 Resident skin care products
Resident skin care products: The product stays on the surface of the skin for a long time after application, and the long-term stability of the emulsifying system is the highest. The conventional addition of raw materials in the range of 1% to 5% can meet the formula requirements.In the formulation of high-moisturizing face creams in autumn and winter, formulators often use Stearalkonium chloride in combination. This cationic conditioning raw material comes with antistatic and mild antibacterial effects. A small amount of addition can not only improve the problem of rubbing mud on the face cream, but also assist in optimizing the anticorrosive stability of the cream. MY96 is responsible for the fusion of water and oil, and Stearalkonium chloride is responsible for skin sensation conditioning. The combination of the two creates a high-oil cream that takes into account moisture and freshness, and oily skin will not be stuffy and acne-prone when used in autumn and winter.
The main moisturizing milk for sensitive muscle repair, the formula will add Centella asiatica, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate and other active raw materials. Most of these active ingredients have ionic properties. Ordinary emulsifiers are easy to layer and demulsify when they encounter high electrolytes. The ion-resistant advantage of MY96 just solves the pain points.
2.2 Rinsing and care products
The formulation environment of leaching products is more complex. There are many types of surfactant systems, chelating agents, and flavors and fragrances in bath products. MY96 can be used in leaching cosmetics up to 9.15%. In addition to basic emulsification, it can also help improve the dryness of care products after rinsing.Many shower gels on the market tighten and peel the skin after washing. The root cause is excessive surface activity and degreasing. A small amount of MY96 is added to the formula. The oil component evenly wraps the skin keratin, and a light and light emollient film is retained after rinsing to achieve both cleansing and emollient.
2.3 Makeup and sunscreen categories
The formula of sunscreen products generally contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide powders. Physical sunscreen powders can easily cause system demulsification and powder agglomeration. MY96's excellent dispersion ability can evenly disperse the powder raw materials, making the texture of sunscreen smooth and easy to push away, reducing the application of whitening and floating powder.The lightweight water-sensitive liquid foundation takes the aqueous phase as the main body, and needs a stable O/W system to lock in the powder and skin care oils. MY96 is a base makeup product made with oil raw materials to improve the stability of makeup, and it is not easy for the cream to melt out of the water in a high temperature environment.
Third: MY96 complex matching ideas
The most classic use of MY96 is to compound with the same series of MY925. After the combination of the two, the acid and alkali resistance and electrolyte resistance are upgraded again. In addition, the use of different functional raw materials can also extend the alienation formula. Among them, Peg 80 sorbitan laurate is one of the high-frequency matching additives.
Peg 80 sorbitan laurate is a high HLB gentle non-ionic solubilizing emulsified raw material. It is mostly used in cleansing and essence solubilizing formulas. After compounding with MY96, it can not only improve the solubility of flavors and fat-soluble plant essential oils in the formula, but also further optimize the refreshing skin feeling of the cream. In the refreshing oily skin oil control emulsion formula, MY96 is used with a small amount of Peg 80 sorbitan laurate, the finished product is moisturizing and easy to absorb, and there will be no problem of thickening the face.Many essential oil emulsifying formulas are difficult to completely dissolve high-concentration vegetable oils into the aqueous phase. The combination of the two raw materials can stably disperse plant essential oils in the water system without increasing the overall oil content to create a watery essential oil emulsion.
In addition to liquid skin care formulas, MY96 can also be used with solid wax raw materials to make cream-like products, such as nourishing hand cream and repairing lip mask. The stearyl alcohol component has excellent compatibility with natural waxes, and there will be no process problems of wax precipitation and white spots.Compared with imported emulsified waxes, the pricing of MY96 domestic raw materials is more friendly, and bulk procurement by oem brands can effectively compress the cost of raw materials.
Many formula novices are easy to step on the pit. They blindly increase the amount of MY96 added to improve the emulsifying effect. After the actual product is added by more than 5%, the paste is prone to waxy and sticky application. Following the conventional addition range of 1% to 5% is the optimal range after a large number of formula verification, and the amount of leaching products can be increased as needed.In effective skin care products containing acidic ingredients such as fruit acid and salicylic acid, the pH of the formula is low, and most emulsified raw materials will fail and stratify in an acidic environment. The acid-base resistance of MY96 makes mass production of effective acid emulsions difficult, and there is no need to repeatedly adjust the PH value of the formula to adapt to the emulsifying system.
Fourth: Market landing observation
In the past, high-end O/W emulsified raw materials relied on imports, with long procurement cycles and high unit prices. It is difficult for small and medium-sized national brands to use high-quality emulsified raw materials due to cost constraints. Only cheap emulsifiers can be used, resulting in poor stability of finished products and high return rates.The emulsified wax represented by OILREE® MY96, relying on the performance of benchmarked imported raw materials and the advantages of localized supply, quickly seized the low-end to mid-end skin care product raw material market.
With the improvement of consumer requirements for the quality of skin care products, temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and long-term stability have become important indicators of products. The demand for high-performance emulsified raw materials by formulators continues to rise. Relying on the differentiated advantages of the compound structure, MY96 will be extended to a wider range of skin care product formulas in the future.
End summary
Based on the measured performance of all categories of formulas, OILREE® MY96 is a cost-effective oil in water emulsifier pair. Relying on collocation, it can bring multiple advantages of ion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and controllable skin feeling.From the perspective of mass production cost, storage conditions, and formula compatibility, it is one of the preferred emulsified raw materials for skin care product formulas.
