01 Water-in-Silicone emulsifier SMOICON®YX 2727 (INCI name is peg-10 dimethicone)
①Silicon oil raw materials are widely used
Speaking of which, silicone oil ingredients are widely used in cosmetics, from smoothers in shampoos, softeners in face creams, to film-forming agents in sun protection, polydimethylsiloxane can be seen everywhere.
The structure of silicone oil is different from that of ordinary vegetable oils, and it is difficult to combine stably with the aqueous phase. Many formulators can only make pure silicone oil formulas, and the skin feels too stuffy.Either you have to use a lot of emulsifiers, but the result is that the product becomes sticky and heavy, losing the original lightness of silicone oil.
② Modified structure upgrade
The emergence of Water-in-Silicone emulsifier 2727, which is a polyethylene glycol-modified polydimethylsiloxane, in simple terms, is to connect the original oily silicone oil with a hydrophilic section, so that it can not only meet the silicone oil on a blind date, but also merge with water.
The HLB value is stable at 4.5, which is just suitable for the water-in-silicone emulsification system, and the safety level has also reached Level 1-2. The compatibility in the formula is strong, and the daily use of commonly used silicon raw materials such as
Cyclopentasiloxane can also be smoothly compounded, and there will be no system rejection.
③ Hit the core pain points directly
Let's talk about skin feeling first.Anyone who has used silicone oil-containing products knows that the most attractive thing about silicone oil is the silky feeling that turns into water instantly after being applied.
However, many silicone oil formulas have to add other oils or thickeners in order to stabilize the system, which destroys the original refreshing skin feeling.And 2727 itself has its own emollient effect. It can not only be used as an emulsifier in the formula, but also as an emollient, bringing that slippery but non-greasy touch to the skin, reducing the amount of other oils in the formula, and keeping the product light and non-sticky. Experience.
Let's talk about stability.The stability of silicone oil formula has always been a difficult problem in the industry, especially after adding physical sunscreens and toner, the system can easily be layered and precipitated.However, 2727 has a stabilizing effect on formulas containing silicone oil. Even sun protection and foundation with a large amount of silicone oil and powder can maintain a long-term balance of the system.
④ Wide range of applicable scenarios
It has a wide range of application scenarios, and the recommended dosage is between 1-6%. Whether it is basic skin care such as creams and lotions, or cross-border products such as sunscreen and foundation for makeup and skin care, it can be easily adapted.
Even many liquid foundations that focus on nourishing the skin will use it to optimize the texture, make the foundation easier to apply and push away better, and the upper face is not stuck in powder, and it can maintain the softness of natural good skin.
02 How does it quietly change our skin care experience?
① Upgrade the sense of sunscreen use
Maybe many people still think that things like emulsifiers have nothing to do with our ordinary consumers. Anyway, they can't understand the formula table, as long as they are comfortable to use.But in fact, the skin care products in your hand that amaze you are inseparable from ingredients like Water-in-Silicone emulsifier 2727.
Take sun protection as an example. Many people are afraid of using sun protection in summer because many high-power sun protection products are oily and stuffy after being applied, and they are easy to rub mud and fight with subsequent base makeup.And now many new physical and chemical combination sun protection, after using 2727, the texture is different, the upper face melts quickly, the film is dry, and the subsequent base makeup conflicts are reduced from the root cause.
② Balance the needs of base makeup
Many people with dry skin have long been looking for liquid foundation that moisturizes and does not get stuck in powder, while oily skin pursues refreshing and acne-free base makeup items. In the past, it was difficult to balance the two needs at the same time.
Through the optimization of the formula structure of Water-in-Silicone emulsifier 2727, the base makeup can not only retain moisturizing power, but also will not accumulate heavy oil, and the oily skin will not be stuffy after long-term use.At the same time, it can work with
C12 15 alkyl benzoate soft oil to evenly disperse the toner, so that the foundation tone is uniform and natural, and the makeup is clean and not mottled.
③ Cream texture
In addition to sunscreen and foundation, many of the main lightweight lotions and creams have also begun to use it.In the past, many moisturizing creams, in order to lock in water, would add a lot of oil. After applying, the face was shiny and could not be used at all in summer.
After adding 2727, the formulator can reduce the amount of oil and use silicone oil to provide moisturizing and smoothness. After the cream is applied, it is matte and refreshing, with sufficient moisturizing power, and can be used with peace of mind for all skin types in all seasons.
④ Excellent compatibility
Many people don't know that the combination of emulsifiers and other ingredients has a great impact on the effect of the product.High-quality emulsified raw materials can be compatible with a variety of active substances, silicon, and grease raw materials to avoid layered deterioration of the formula.At the same time, this raw material is safe and gentle, with a safety level of 1-2, and low irritation to the skin.
03 Emulsifier market
①The advantages of raw materials are outstanding
2727 It is not limited to basic emulsification, but also takes into account skin texture optimization and long-term stability maintenance, and fits the current mainstream direction of formula research and development.The products are packaged in conventional industrial packaging of 27KG/barrel, which is suitable for mass production by large, medium and small cosmetic factories. Whether it is mass circulation models or high-end customized line products, they can flexibly match production needs.
② Promote the upgrading of category raw materials
In the process of upgrading the industry, the raw materials associated with Emulsifier makeup have been continuously optimized and iterated, and more and more high-performance emulsified ingredients have been widely used.With its comprehensive strength, 2727 has become a common core raw material for makeup, sunscreen, and high-end skin care.After consumers' awareness of ingredients has increased, the high-quality and stable emulsifying system has slowly become the invisible reference standard for everyone to choose skin care products.
Adapt to the trend of green skin care
The addition ratio of 2727 is low, and stable emulsification can be completed in a small amount, reducing the accumulation of excess accessories, which can not only reduce the production cost of the brand, but also in line with the development trend of gentle and green skin care.
04 Future possibilities
① Adapt to multi-effect cross-border skin care products
Now, 2727 has been shining in creams, lotions, sun protection, foundations and other products, but its potential is much more than that.With the continuous development of the cosmetics industry, there are more and more cross-border products such as all-in-one makeup primer, skin care setting spray, and skin care lotion. Complex formulas require higher emulsification systems, and this raw material can be adapted to diverse research and development needs.
②Application of subdivided scenarios
The refreshing and stable characteristics of 2727 are very suitable for the improvement and upgrading of single products such as men's lotion and sunscreen.At the same time, in the medical beauty repair lotion, the gentle formula properties can form a lightweight protective film, soothe external irritation, help damaged skin maintain stability and repair, and broaden the boundaries of raw material application.
③ Continuous performance optimization
With the continuous progress of formulation technology, raw materials are also being continuously modified and upgraded.The optimized 2727 can adapt to high and low temperature storage environments, and the system is still stable under the hot and cold cycle.
05 To ordinary consumers: You don't need to understand the ingredients, you can choose the product that suits you.
① Quickly judge the merits of the formula
There is no need to deepen the knowledge of professional ingredients, and the daily selection of products gives priority to getting started and feeling the texture.The products that are refreshing and easy to push away, form a film quickly, stand without layering, and do not rub mud on makeup are basically equipped with a high-quality emulsifying system, which makes the use experience more stable.
② Choose the category as needed
If you want refreshing sunscreen, makeup-holding base makeup, and summer lightweight creams, you can give priority to single products that are silky, matte, lightweight and breathable. Most of these products use high-performance silicon emulsifiers, which have a higher overall adaptability.
Finally, I would like to say that in the cosmetics industry, there has never been a shortage of marketed ingredients, but it is often these invisible heroes hidden in the formula table that can really change our skin care experience.The Water-in-Silicone emulsifier SMOICON®YX 2727 has no gorgeous marketing, only uses practical effects to solve the pain points of public skin care, and quietly optimizes every facial experience. This is also the core significance of the long-term development of high-quality raw materials.
