There are significant differences between washing thickeners and oil thickeners in terms of composition, use, and environmental friendliness.

 

Composition
Washing thickeners are typically an anionic hydrophobic modified acrylic swelling associative rheology modifier, belonging to non-ionic surfactants, easily soluble in water, and have the characteristic of no cloud point. In contrast, oil thickeners are ionic linear macromolecular substances, mainly used to increase the fluid volume of the polymer itself, reduce the free movement time of particles, thereby increasing viscosity.

 

Usage
Washing thickeners are mainly used in laundry liquids and other cleaning products, improving the rheological properties of the product by increasing the viscosity of the system, preventing sagging, splashing, and dripping during application, while providing good physical and mechanical stability to the thickening system, which is beneficial for storage stability and preventing sedimentation. Oil thickeners, on the other hand, are widely used in oil-based coatings, water-based coatings, latex paints, water-based inks, adhesives, elastic pastes, etc., with excellent pigment suspension and sag resistance.

 

Environmental Friendliness
Due to their compositional characteristics, washing thickeners generally have a smaller environmental impact and meet environmental protection requirements. In contrast, oil thickeners are relatively poor in environmental friendliness because they emit chemical additives that produce a pungent odor, causing pollution to the environment and air.

 

In summary, washing thickeners are mainly used in cleaning products and have better environmental friendliness; while oil thickeners are widely used in various coatings and pastes, but their environmental friendliness is relatively poor.

Cosmetics without preservatives are safer?

Many consumers are "afraid of preservatives" and believe that cosmetics without preservatives are safe and of high quality. To meet consumers' psychological needs, some cosmetic companies have launched concepts such as "fresh," "natural," "preservative-free," and "additive-free" cosmetics.

The application of moisturizers in cosmetics

Moisturizers serve multiple functions in cosmetics, primarily including providing hydration, maintaining the skin's oil-water balance, enhancing skin elasticity, and promoting the absorption of other active ingredients.

What is the function of a thickening agent?

Also known as a gelling agent, it is a substance that can increase the viscosity of latex and liquids, and when used in food, it is referred to as a paste. Thickeners can enhance the viscosity of the system, keeping it in a uniform and stable suspension or emulsion state, or forming a gel; most thickeners also have emulsifying properties.

What is a makeup remover?

Makeup remover is a skincare product used to clean and remove cosmetics and dirt from the skin. The main function of makeup remover is to dissolve and eliminate makeup, oil, sweat, and other impurities on the skin, helping to keep the skin fresh and maintain its normal physiological functions.

Why are preservatives added to cosmetics?

Many ingredients in cosmetics are nutrients for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, and during the production and use of cosmetics, they can easily be contaminated by microorganisms. Therefore, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of preservatives.
