Introducing cosmetic ingredients to new customers


After the Chinese New Year, I summarize some recent questions from old customers about Cosmetics Materials, and make a unified introduction to new customers who come to learn about our company. If you still don't understand after reading, or want some formulas, remember to send me an e-mail!
According to the use and function of cosmetic Raw Materials, the raw materials that make up cosmetics can be divided into three categories: base raw materials, auxiliary raw materials and functional raw materials.

First, the matrix raw materials


Matrix raw materials are the main body of the composition of various cosmetics, cosmetics formulations in a large proportion, determines the function and nature of cosmetics. Basal raw materials generally include oily raw materials, powder raw materials and solvent-based raw materials.

(1) Oily raw materials


Oily raw materials are the main base materials for cosmetics, including oils, waxes, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and esters.
Oils and waxes are cream cosmetics, lotion cosmetics, lipstick and other solid cosmetics of the main matrix raw materials. They mainly play the role of Skin Care, smoothness, moisturizing, cleaning, curing and shaping, etc., and at the same time, they can be used as solvents and emulsifiers.

(2) powder raw materials


Powder raw materials are foundation, powder, talcum powder, rouge, eye shadow and other products of the important matrix raw materials

(3) Solvent raw materials


Solvent is a balm, cream, perfume, lotion, toner and other liquid, paste, paste cosmetics in an indispensable part of the solvent raw materials mainly include water, alcohols and ketones, ethers, esters and other aromatic organic compounds.

Second, auxiliary raw materials


Auxiliary raw materials refers to cosmetics to provide some specific features of the auxiliary raw materials, in cosmetics, add a relatively small amount, but the role can not be ignored. Auxiliary raw materials in cosmetics mainly include flavors and fragrances, pigments and colors, preservatives and antioxidants, surfactants, water-soluble polymers and so on. It should be noted that there is no strict boundary between auxiliary raw materials and matrix raw materials.

(1) Flavors & Fragrances

Cosmetics can be given a specific aroma by adding a certain amount of flavor.

(2) Pigments and Colors

Colorants can give cosmetic products pleasing colors, and are mainly used in beauty cosmetics, such as lipstick, rouge, eye shadow and so on.
The colorants commonly used in cosmetics are: organic synthetic pigments, natural pigments, inorganic pigments and pearlescent pigments.
Since some synthetic pigments have different degrees of influence on human health, there are strict safety requirements and hygiene standards for colorants in cosmetics.

(3) Preservatives and antioxidants

In the process of production and use of cosmetics, some microorganisms will inevitably be mixed in, in order to prevent microorganisms from growing in large quantities in cosmetics and leading to deterioration and deterioration of cosmetics, it is necessary to add preservatives.

(4) Surfactants

In cosmetics, the main role of surfactants is to decontamination, solubilization, washing, wetting, dispersion, foaming, defoaming, sterilization, emulsification, antistatic and so on.

(5) Water-soluble polymer

Water-soluble macromolecules in water can dissolve or swell into a solution or gel-like dispersion system, also known as gel-like raw materials, is the main raw material in the mask and gel-type cosmetics.

Third, efficacy of raw materials


Efficacy of raw materials is to give cosmetics a special function or to strengthen the physiological effects of cosmetics on the skin raw materials, such as Moisturizing Raw Materials, whitening agents, sunscreen agents, nutritional additives, deodorants, depilatories and so on.

There are thousands of cosmetic raw materials, it seems very complex, so a generalized classification is not a good understanding of a lot of it?
