Water soluble oils
Water-soluble oils (WMO) - an innovative product for cosmetics
Cosmetic water-soluble oils appeared in Ukraine relatively recently. They are obtained from natural traditional oils. Under vacuum, transformation occurs into a water-soluble form. They are transparent, practically colorless and odorless, with low acidity.
Water-soluble oils are quickly becoming a favorite among cream makers and cosmetics manufacturers, and here’s why:
- BRMs retain the beneficial properties of fatty oils. The lipid composition is identical.
- Reduce the irritating effect of surfactants while maintaining the ability to foam.
- Replaces emulsifier in some products to stabilize fatty ingredients and common oils.
- Maintain the integrity of the product in the oil-water phases and prevent separation.
- Act as a solubilizer of fat-soluble assets in an aquatic environment.
Where to use water-soluble oils in cosmetics
The use of BPM in cosmetics is extensive. This is a complete replacement for traditional natural oils. Recipes with VRM are easier to prepare because... they are 100% soluble in ethyl alcohol and water. If you make cosmetics for oily skin, you can safely buy water-soluble oils for recipes. They do not give the effect of a greasy film and do not clog pores. Suitable for lotions, medicinal alcohol-based mash and cosmeceuticals
Other lipid-containing ingredients are dispersed in personal care products. They stabilize the foam in these products and make it thicker.Water-soluble oils do not lose their emollient properties, so they work great in hair products and shower gels. Shampoos and detergents reduce the effect of surfactants on the skin.They have a beneficial effect on the mucous membrane of the eyes, therefore they are used in makeup removers, in bath products as a component of low-fat massage creams.
So, if you love natural oils, but they are not suitable for the recipe, feel free to replace them with water-soluble ones in shampoos, shower gels and bath products, in cosmetic milk, in tonics and micellar water, in suntan oil and other products. Suitable for children's cosmetics!
