Hi, how are you?
Today we will introduce the way to make your skin care formulations absorb quickly.
Consumers tend to believe that skincare products need to absorb quickly to immediately moisturize their skin, so developing products with fast absorption is important.
As a result of checking the complete absorption time by adding 4% micro beads to each O/W essence, it was checked that porous PMMA was absorbed the fastest. This is because porous PMMA has a hydrophobic and large specific surface area, which promotes the evaporation of volatile ingrdients in the formulation.
As a result of tests using various microbeads, formulations were quickly absorbed within 15 seconds when using microbeads with hydrophobic surfaces such as SUNSIL-OLEO20, a cetyl alcohol-coated silica or a porous PMMA like SUNPMMA-P20.
Actually, fast absorption means volatile ingredients such as water and alcohol in the formulation evaporate. However, consumers tend to think that the product’s fast absorption equals to immediate moisturize effect of the product. Due to this perception, it would make the products more appealing by using microbeads with hydrophobic surfaces such as the SUNSIL-OLEO series.
