What are the pure natural water-soluble small molecules

The safety and efficiency of plant skin care products is now the trend of the development of skin care products, for this type of skin care products, the core material is the raw material of plants, these plants are what kinds of raw materials? In what form, or can make what kind of plant products?

1. water plant raw materials

The state of this plant raw material is aqueous, generally divided into 3 categories: pure dew, extract and juice.

pure dew plants:

This is the most critical kind of water plant raw materials, is extracted by steam distillation, generally with flowers or leaves, distillation after the distillation of the distillate. It mainly contains aromatic compounds, especially volatile aromatic compounds, including aromatic alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters, ethers, ketones, phenols, etc. It has a certain bactericidal effect, so generally do not add too much bacteriostatic agent. Of course, its bactericidal effect may not be so strong. Water supplement is a function that all pure dew has, and the effect is particularly good. If pure dew is added to skin care products, in addition to the characteristic fragrance of plants, it also enhances the absorption effect of the product and has a particularly high affinity with the skin. Pure dew is suitable for almost all skin care products.

plant extract liquid:

There are many kinds of extracts and there are many classification methods. According to the extraction method, it is divided into microwave extraction, ultrasonic extraction, etc. The cells of the plant are opened by shaking and the nutrients are dissolved in the solvent. This solvent is called plant extract. According to the solvent can be divided into water extraction, alcohol extraction, solvent extraction and so on. For example, scented tea, black tea and green tea, this tea is a kind of plant extract and is a typical water extract. Ginseng wine soaked in white wine is called alcohol extraction, because alcohol is ethanol. Solvent extraction, the core raw materials are soaked in soluble substances, and then extracted is solvent extraction. In many cases, the extraction method is matched with the extraction solvent, such as microwave water extraction, microwave alcohol extraction, and ultrasonic water extraction. Basic principles The active ingredient of a plant, the water-soluble ingredient, dissolves into a liquid and gives the liquid a certain plant-specific taste and color. Its composition is more comprehensive, both small molecule aromatic mixture, and tannic acid, vc, flavonoids and other macromolecules mixture, with the overall effect of a certain type. Because it contains a lot of protein, starch and other nutrients, it is often necessary to add some antibacterial agents to prevent product corruption. Extract, generally have some functional, such as whitening, wrinkle, anti-aging. Each kind of plant extract function is not the same.

Plant Juice:

Refers to the juice that has not been extracted, distilled or processed directly from the plant body, such as loofah water, cucumber, etc., and the water regurgitated from the roots. Plant juice is generally suitable for adding to skin care products to enhance moisturizing and other functions.

2. oil plant raw materials

The vegetable raw material of oil exists in the form of grease.

Vegetable grease or base oil or medium oil:

Grape seed oil, olive oil, walnut oil and evening primrose oil are all vegetable oils. We need to use this base oil to reconcile other compound essential oils, which are suitable for diluting essential oils. At the same time, it can also be directly added into packaging products for use. It has the functions of anti-oxidation, moisturizing and nutrition. However, if this vegetable oil is added to cosmetics, it usually takes more than 3 months, and the taste of this skin care product will change, because the vegetable oil will be oxidized and its activity is very strong. Only customized products can be used up within a month or at most two months after they are made, and this natural oil can be used in large quantities.

Soft immersion oil or soaking oil:

Soak the fresh wood of plants such as flowers and leaves with vegetable oil to absorb the oil-soluble components in the fresh wood, then take out the fresh wood, add it into the fresh wood, and repeat it several times until the saturated plant components are absorbed in the oil. This oil will have a very obvious plant-specific taste. This oil also has a great advantage. It absorbs the active ingredients of plant raw materials at low temperatures, without high temperatures, and the retention of the active ingredients and activity of plants is obvious.

Plant Essential Oils:

Essential oil is not a real oil, but it is soluble in oil, is a compound, we temporarily position it as oil plant raw materials. It uses fresh plant materials (of course, there are also dry ones, such as sandalwood) as raw materials, and extracts aromatic mixtures with plant compounds such as alcohol, aldehyde, acid, ester, ether, ketone, phenol and so on through distillation (flowers and grasses), pressing (peel), extraction (traditional Chinese medicine will be more). The content of active ingredients may be 200 or 300, very many kinds. If it is added to cosmetics, it will have some unique functions, which are given by various essential oils, so many products are called essential oil added products.

3. powder plant raw materials

The raw materials are in the form of powder.

superfine powder:

Plant raw materials such as dried flowers and leaves are finely ground into powder of more than 200 mesh or even thousands of mesh. This powder can be used for powder dispersion, massage, mask slurry, etc. The concept of purpose is the number of powder placed in an area per square centimeter. The larger the mesh number, the finer the powder. The average flour is about 60 mesh to 80 mesh, while more than 200 mesh basically belongs to ultra-fine powder. Generally, the cell wall can be broken by about 800 mesh.

We usually use spray drying powder or freeze-dried powder, which is not ground out. Spray drying powder is a powder made by spray drying. The plant extract is sprayed from top to bottom, and hot air goes up below. When the collision process is carried out, the water of this powder is extracted, and the remaining active ingredients of dry matter fall down to form a lot of powder. We can think of it as the remaining part after the plant extract extracts all the water. Freeze-dried powder is a plant extract frozen at minus 30 degrees, and then heated sublimation, water from minus 30 degrees of solid directly into a gaseous state, the rest of the powder is freeze-dried powder, it is the most active, can be the best of the functional substances of plants retained, with fresh plants have the same function.

The difference between these two kinds of powder: no matter how fine ultrafine powder is often there is a certain amount of fiber components, and plant extracts of this kind are often completely soluble in water, there is no fiber.

Plant raw materials are what we have not changed, such as petals, plant roots, stems, leaves, etc. Put something like this petal in the mask to give the product a certain function of the plant. For example, rose petals have whitening and moisturizing function, while suspending a lot of petals, has a certain decorative function. Plant raw materials can be used flexibly in skin care products to form a real plant skin care system.

Make-up water of plant, can use pure dew, extract, extract, essential oil.

Essence, can use pure dew, extract, extract, essential oil.

Gel, can use pure dew, extract, extract, essential oil.

Emulsion, can use pure dew, extract, plant extract, base oil, soaking oil, plant essential oil and so on.

Cream, can use pure dew, extract, plant extract, base oil, soaking oil, plant essential oil, etc.

Mask, can use pure dew, extract, extract, essential oil, plant powder, of course, there are plant raw material this kind.

Pure natural is 100% pure plant products, there is no artificial addition of things. The concept of satisfying pure nature is generally divided into 5 categories:

1. pure plant essential oils.

2. base oil, compound essential oil.

3. soaking oil.

4. plant pure dew.

5. plant powder.

It is not to say that there are no pure natural products in the whole market, but there are no pure natural products except these 5 categories. We found that only raw materials can be pure natural, either pure water, or pure oil, or pure powder. However, if it is made into an emulsion, because there is water and oil, and the two systems form a multi-layer product, it is very easy to breed bacteria, so at least to increase bacteriostatic agents and emulsifiers, it cannot be pure natural, but it can be 99% pure natural. Unless it is currently used, used on the same day or for a few days, it will not spoil. In fact, pure natural, sometimes it is a concept, we can achieve the possibility of 99%, it is already a very ideal product.

To sum up, in general, we use plant raw materials as much as possible. The water may use plant pure dew, and the grease is used with base oil. Add some essential oils to make our plant products. Even products 99% natural raw materials can be. The absorption properties of plant products are particularly good, very fast, its general dosage is 3 to 4 times that of ordinary products, because it is too easy to absorb, when applied to the skin, it will be absorbed quickly, so the amount is not enough at all. We use vegetable oil, and vegetable oil often has a certain color, or yellow or green or yellow-green, rather than clean white, the appearance of plant products is often a little rough, because the molecular weight of vegetable oil is not balanced, there are large and small, so the product is not consistent, there is no fine white feeling of mineral oil, no smooth feeling. Vegetable oils tend to be slightly viscous and are particularly absorbent. Only vegetable oil, only plant essential oil, plus a little plant extract, even if the formula is very simple, it will have a very magical skin care effect.
