Multifunctional products are not a novel trend however.
The very first 2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners in the 1980’s were just the start of an ever-increasing demand for new combinations of functionalities in cosmetic products.
Today, this concept is increasingly reaching out into new categories as well as expanding from mass brands to prestige products.
Moreover, consumers in Asia have differing expectations from consumers in Europe, North and South America and Africa.
Consumers in every region demand unique formulation aesthetics to satisfy their exacting needs.
Therefore, formulators must have a very large palette of ingredients dedicated to an array of formulation benefits as they attempt to optimize the use of ingredients at their disposal in the laboratory.
This is where multifunctional ingredients play a key role.
These multitaskers help the formulator eliminate the overall number of ingredients while maximizing formula benefits and optimizing consumer experience.
Uses:
Hydrolite CG is a novel surfactant used in the treatment of head louse.
Also used in the cosmetics industry in the formulations of sunscreen gels and eye make-up.
Hydrolite CG has a variety of applications. It is used to improve HPLC separation of organic acids and bases and to synthesize halohydrin palmitates.
Additionally, Hydrolite CG is studied for its potential use as a pediculicide and has been shown to be effective against louse infestations.
Hydrolite CG is an emollient with moisturizing properties that may also be used as a cosmetic stabilizer.
When found in combination with phenoxyethanol these two ingredients work together as an anti-microbial.
Diols contribute to high water solubility, hygroscopicity and reactivity with many organic compounds, on usually linear and aliphatic carbon chain.
Hydrolite CG, linear diol containing two primary hydroxyl groups, has bacteriostatic and bacteriacidal properties which are useful in cosmetics as a preservative.
Hydrolite CG is also used in coating materials, slurries, paper mills and water circulation systems for the effective preservation against bacteria and fungi.
Hydrolite CG is used as an emollient, humectant, and wetting agent in cosmetic and skin care products.
Alcohols are very weak acids as they lose H+ in the hydroxyl group.
Alcohols undergoes dehydration reaction which means the elimination of water molecule replaced by a pi bond between two adjacent carbon atoms to form alkenes under heating in the presence of strong acids like hydrocloric acid or phosphoric acid.
Primary and secondary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes and ketones respectively.
Carboxylic acids are obtained from oxidation of aldehydes. Oxidation in organic chemistry can be considered to be the loss of hydrogen or gain of oxygen and reduction to gain hydrogen or loss of oxygen.
Tertiary alcohols do not react to give oxidation products as they have no H attached to the alcohol carbon.
Hydrolite CG alcohols undergoes important reactions called nucleophilic substitution in which an electron donor replaces a leaving group, generally conjugate bases of strong acids, as a covalent substitute of some atom.
One of important reaction of alcohol is condensation.
Ethers are formed by the condensation of two alcohols by heating with sulfuric acid; the reaction is one of dehydration.
Almost infinite esters are formed through condensation reaction called esterification between carboxylic acid and alcohol, which produces water.
