There are several raw materials for producing cosmetics ingredients, such as functional and structural ingredients. Functional ingredients ensure the basic functionality of the products. These include water, surfactants, emollients, etc. Emollients are conditioners and softening agents for the epidermis. They create a barrier on the epidermis that prevents moisture depletion. In cleaning products, surfactants are incorporated to generate lather. In addition, they facilitate the emulsification of oil- and water-based substances. To enhance stability, cosmetic formulations include stabilizing ingredients. They help preserve a product's integrity and prevent it from degrading. Preservatives are employed in cosmetics to inhibit the development of bacteria and fungi while also extending the expiration life of the product.
Functional cosmetic ingredients are ones which actually have an effect on the body that the formulator wishes. You cannot make a useful cosmetic product without including at least one functional ingredient. However, you could make an entire cosmetic using just one functional ingredient. Vaseline has built a huge brand on a single functional ingredient cosmetic (Petrolatum).
Functional ingredients include cleansers, conditioning agents, colorants, fragrances, reactive ingredients, film formers, and drug actives. Every cosmetic you’ve ever used or made has at least one functional ingredient.
Incidentally, functional ingredients are the ones that cosmetic chemists most want new raw material suppliers to make. The number of significantly different functional ingredients has not increased in many years. I suppose because it’s hard to create a really new functional ingredient. Here are some examples of functional ingredients:
The most common and abundant type of cosmetic raw material is aesthetic modifiers. These are ingredients which help to make delivery of the functional ingredients more acceptable. They are the compounds that help the ingredients spread, dilute the ingredients, make them more stable, and improve the look and feel of the overall product. The sub-category of aesthetic modifiers includes solvents, cosmetic thickeners and stabilizers, preservatives, fragrances, pH adjusters, plasticizers, fillers, appearance modifiers, anti-oxidants, anti-irritants, and delivery systems.
When you look at the ingredient list of most cosmetics, most of the ingredients are aesthetic modifiers. Since these ingredients don’t have any functional benefit formulators try to minimize the amount of aesthetic modifiers used. This helps keep costs down and simplifies production. However, these ingredients do play a crucial role in the creation & experience of using a personal care product so it’s important for a formulator to have a thorough knowledge of them. Examples of structural ingredients are as follows:
While people use cosmetics to improve the way their skin and hair looks and feels, this isn’t the primary reason that they buy cosmetics. Consumers buy cosmetics because they like the story that the product tells. They like the packaging or the way that the product looks and smells. And to help support the marketing story and the claims made about the product, formulators have to include claims ingredients.
Claims ingredients (sometimes called fairy dust) are ingredients added to a formula at a low level for the primary purpose of getting to put the ingredient name on the label. This includes ingredients like natural extracts, vitamins, proteins, biotechnology, and fanciful made-up ingredient names. They are not put in the formulas to have any measurable effect and almost invariably they don’t. However, most consumers need a story to believe when they buy their cosmetics and these ingredients help support that story. Brands that don’t include claims ingredients are much less successful in the marketplace. Examples of added extras include:
Citric acid and lactic acid are multifunctional components that can be used efficiently as exfoliants, pH balancers, and preservatives in cosmetics. Highly active, specialty ingredients to increase skin and hair products ‘ power and effectiveness.
From ingredients that exfoliate, soothe, hydrate and revitalize to those that nourish skin cells and protect them from free radical damage.
Alkaline components are often used to adjust pH concentrations as buffering agents. Did you know that the fun and creativity of bath bombs also include sodium bicarbonate.
