What is PEOFA™MY987 (Polyglyceryl 2 Tetraoleate)?
Water-in-oil (W/O) primary emulsifiers play a key role in the formulation of makeup and moisturizing skin care products.It can make a stable system where oil is a continuous phase and water is a dispersed phase, so that the cream feels delicate and smooth, the moisture is long-lasting, and it can better carry oils, powders, and active ingredients. Popular products such as liquid foundation and concealer are inseparable from it.Unlike ordinary emulsifiers, good water-in-oil primary emulsifiers must take into account the emulsifying ability, stability and skin mildness at the same time, and they must also be able to simplify the formulation process.The typical representative of Water-in-oil primary emulsion, PEOFA™ MY987 (polyglyceryl-2 tetraoleate), is of natural plant origin and is also friendly to other ingredients.
The core advantage of the water-in-oil emulsifying system is that it has good sealing and moisturizing properties, and can form a thin protective film on the surface of the skin to reduce moisture loss.When used in makeup, it can also make makeup more obedient and not easy to take off makeup. However, traditional water in oil emulsifiers often have various troubles: for example, some are solid, and they have to be heated and melted before use, which not only increases the production steps, but also consumes energy, and some have insufficient emulsifying ability. It must be used with several emulsifiers to achieve a stable effect, which not only increases the cost of the formula, but may also affect the final skin feeling because the ingredients are added too much.In addition, some emulsifiers have poor adaptability to high-polar oils and powders, which are prone to stratification, agglomeration, and powder gathering, which makes the product look rough and uncomfortable to use.The emergence of MY987 has solved these common problems in a targeted manner and has its own unique advantages.
The most core feature of MY987 is, first of all, that the raw materials are gentle and safe.It is synthesized by chemical reaction with diglycerides and vegetable acids. The raw materials are derived from pure palm oil. The ingredients are naturally gentle, skin-friendly, non-irritating, and can be used for all skin types.As a nonionic
Emulsifier, its properties are very stable and it is not easy to react with other ingredients. It has a particularly strong compatibility in the formula. It can be used in combination with a variety of oils and additives, and it will not destroy the overall balance of the formula.
In terms of emulsifying ability, MY987's performance is also very good.Its HLB value is 3, which is just the adaptation value of a typical
Water in oil emulsifier. Its emulsifying ability is very outstanding. It can not only stably emulsify conventional oils and fats, but also easily deal with high-polar oils and fats.At the same time, its ability to disperse the powder is also very good, allowing the toner and powdery raw materials in liquid foundation and BB cream to spread evenly, so that the powder will not gather into a ball and precipitate. The product made in this way has uniform color and delicate texture. After applying makeup, the makeup surface is clean and transparent, and it will not get stuck or mottled.For makeup formulas, the powder cannot be evenly dispersed, which directly affects the texture of the product. This feature of MY987 can greatly improve the quality and experience of makeup products.
The formula is easy to use, which is a very prominent advantage of MY987 compared with similar products.It can be used alone as the main emulsifier, and it can make a paste with exquisite appearance and good stability without additional emulsifiers.This benefit not only simplifies the process of formula design, reduces the types of raw materials that need to be used, reduces the difficulty of production and deployment, but also controls the cost of formula, allowing formulators to have more energy to optimize the skin feeling and efficacy of the product.Moreover, MY987 is a yellow viscous liquid at room temperature, which is simple to operate. Compared with those solid competing products, it can save a lot of production time and energy consumption, improve production efficiency, and is very suitable for industrial large-scale production.
In terms of formula adaptation and application scenarios, MY987's performance is also excellent.It has good fat solubility, can be quickly integrated into the oil phase system, and is compatible with a variety of raw materials commonly used in cosmetics, such as
Cyclopentasiloxane, various oils, moisturizers, etc. , and will not be layered or turbid when combined.Its recommended addition amount is 1-5%, and the addition range is very wide. Formulators can flexibly adjust the dosage according to the product type and the desired texture-whether it is a light concealer or a high-moisturizing makeup cream, you can find the right addition ratio.
Relying on these excellent properties, MY987 is widely used in a variety of popular makeup products.Adding MY987 to the liquid foundation can make the foundation texture smooth and easy to push away, and the makeup is obedient and long-lasting. At the same time, it can evenly disperse the powder to enhance concealer and makeup texture.Using it for concealer liquid can ensure that the product is delicate and not heavy, accurately covers defects, and is not easy to get stuck. Adding it to BB cream and CC cream can balance moisture and freshness, so that the product has both skin care effects and can modify skin tone, which is suitable for daily commuting.Adding it to makeup cream can improve the stability of the product, make the cream uniform and delicate, and create a natural pseudo-makeup effect. It can be said that as long as it is a makeup product that requires a water in oil system, MY987 can play a big role in helping the product improve its quality.
In actual formulation applications, MY987 can also be combined with a variety of auxiliary ingredients to achieve better results.For example, with
SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, it can further enhance the thickening and suspension effect of the formula, so that the paste has moderate viscosity, is not easy to flow, and is more convenient to use.Pairing with oils such as
Caprylic capric triglyceride can optimize the skin feeling of the product, make the moisturizing feeling lighter, and there will be no greasy and heavy feeling. In the makeup formula, it can also assist in dispersing various powders to make the color of the product purer.This good synergy makes the use of MY987 in the formula more flexible.
From the perspective of production and storage, MY987 also has obvious advantages.Its packaging specification is 25kg/barrel, which is very in line with the procurement and use needs of cosmetic manufacturers. The storage conditions are also very simple. It can be stored in a room temperature, dark and airtight environment without special low temperature and moisture-proof treatment, which can reduce storage costs and the risk of loss.Moreover, the product quality is very stable, the acid value is controlled within the standard range, the properties can be stable for a long time, and it is not easy to deteriorate. It can ensure that the product performance of each batch is consistent, which provides a guarantee for production stability.
In general, MY987 (polyglyceryl-2 tetraoleate), as a high-quality water-in-oil main emulsifier, has many advantages such as mild and safe, strong emulsification, good powder dispersion, easy to use, and wide application.It is derived from natural palm oil, which is gentle and non-irritating to the skin. It just meets the current consumer demand for safe cosmetics. Stable emulsification can be achieved by using it alone without using emulsifiers, simplifying the formula and production process, and reducing costs.The characteristics of liquid liquid make production operations more convenient and improve production efficiency. It is widely used in liquid foundation, concealer, BB cream, CC cream, makeup cream and other products, which can improve the texture and stability of makeup products in all directions.
Relying on its own unique advantages, PEOFA™ MY987 accurately meets the needs of makeup formulas, distinguishes it from other water in oil emulsifiers, and becomes an indispensable core raw material in makeup formulas.It is not only a simple emulsifier, but also a good helper for formulators to optimize formulas and enhance product competitiveness. It can bring more efficient and better R&D and production experience to cosmetics manufacturers, and help create more makeup products with outstanding texture and popular with consumers.
