Enhance the texture and quality of daily chemical products with ultimate thickening and rheological properties

As the daily chemical industry iterates in the direction of natural purity, high-end skin feel, long-term stability, and green safety , the application shortcomings of traditional chemical thickeners and natural colloids have become increasingly prominent. Problems such as carbomer's tendency to become sticky and slippery, xanthan gum's tendency to stratify and precipitate, and the limited safety of synthetic rheological agents have always restricted the formula upgrade and experience upgrade of skin care products, cleansing products, and makeup. As a high-tech enterprise deeply involved in the field of nano-biomass materials, Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the self-developed preparation, functional modification and scenario-based application solutions of nano-cellulose . Relying on mature industrial processes and long-term formulation technology accumulation, it has polished high-performance nano-cellulose products that meet the strict standards of the daily chemical industry. With its unique nanometer three-dimensional network structure, this material creates excellent and differentiated intelligent thickening rheological properties , perfectly adapts to the formulation requirements of all categories of daily chemical products, and has become a core new material that replaces traditional thickening systems and enables the improvement and upgrading of daily chemical products.

1. Core advantages of nanocellulose: differentiated intelligent thickening mechanism

Different from the simple 'viscosity increase' principle of traditional thickeners, the thickening performance of nanocellulose relies on the three-dimensional network structure formed by interweaving nano-scale ultra-fine fibers. It has the core characteristics of low addition, high thickening, strong stability, and excellent thixotropy , and its rheological properties far exceed traditional daily chemical colloid materials.

Under static conditions, the three-dimensional network structure of nanocellulose is fully stretched, which can quickly increase the viscosity of the system and firmly lock the plant extract particles, frosted particles, essential oil microcapsules, toner and other components in the formula, solving the root causes of common problems such as delamination, settling, agglomeration, and oil-water separation in daily chemical products, greatly improving product storage stability and extending shelf life.

Under the shear action of external application and stirring, its network structure can quickly relax, and the system viscosity is instantly reduced, giving the product ultimate smooth ductility; when the external force disappears, the structure quickly recovers and the viscosity rises immediately, achieving an intelligent rheological effect of thin coating and thickening . This unique thixotropic thickening property completely solves the pain points of traditional thickening products that are thick, sticky, stringy, slippery, and dull, creating a high-end skin feel that is light, luxurious, and refreshing.

At the same time, the nanocellulose thickening system is adaptable to a wide range of pH and temperature environments and has strong compatibility. It can be compounded with most daily chemical raw materials without additional adjustments to the formula system. Low addition amounts can achieve the ideal thickening and stable effect, effectively simplifying the formula and reducing production costs. The material is naturally degradable, mild and non-irritating, and is in line with the current industry development trend of pure beauty and green care. Nanjing Tianlu Nano relies on independent and controllable precision dissociation and functional modification core processes to accurately control fiber microstructure and performance parameters, effectively solving the common pain points of poor batch stability, insufficient dispersion, and substandard transparency in the industry, ensuring long-term and stable implementation of daily chemical formulas, and adapting to the needs of industrial mass production.

2. Empowering thickening properties, covering all categories of daily chemical application scenarios

Relying on the precise and controllable thickening, suspension, and rheology adjustment capabilities, nanocellulose can be fully adapted to mainstream daily chemical categories such as skin care, cleansing, and makeup, achieving comprehensive upgrades from the three dimensions of product texture, skin feel, and efficacy stability.

1. Skin care gel and essence system: transparent texture, long-term stability

Transparent skin care products such as essence, aloe vera gel, repair gel, and sleeping mask have extremely high requirements on the transparency, freshness, and stability of the thickening agent. Traditional thickeners can easily lead to turbid gels and stiff viscosity, making the face sticky and easy to rub. Nanocellulose's highly transparent and highly delicate thickening properties can create a transparent and clear product texture, which is suitable for the positioning of high-end light luxury transparent products.

With its stable network-like water-locking structure, its thickened gel system has a uniform and soft texture. It is moist and non-sticky when applied, and has no heavy or false slippery feeling. It can also slowly release active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and plant extracts to avoid rapid loss of active substances and improve the utilization of skin care effects. At the same time, it forms a breathable protective film on the skin surface, which has multiple functions of thickening, moisturizing, and repairing.

2. Cream emulsion system: fine and homogeneous, eliminating layering

The core pain point of emulsified system products such as facial cream, body lotion, hand cream, and water emulsion is that the oil-water phase is unstable. Long-term storage is prone to delamination, water separation, and agglomeration. The paste has poor ductility and is thick when applied. The thickening and emulsifying synergistic properties of nanocellulose can effectively stabilize the oil-water interface, keeping the paste in a fine and homogeneous state.

Its unique rheological characteristics make the cream product thick but not thick, moist but not greasy , easy to use and push away, and fast to absorb, saying goodbye to the problems of traditional creams being stuffy and sticky. At the same time, there is no need to add a variety of additional stabilizers and thickeners, the formula system is streamlined, the product is more gentle, and it is suitable for sensitive skin, infants, and other scenarios that require gentle skin care.

3. Cleansing and care product system: suspended locking effect, upgraded experience

Skin care products such as scrubs, shower gels, shampoos, and conditioners often add functional ingredients such as scrub particles, plant petals, essential oil beads, and nutritional particles, which can easily sink to the bottom, resulting in uneven product efficacy and poor user experience. The powerful suspension and thickening ability of nanocellulose can evenly disperse various functional particles in the system at a very low addition amount, and will not settle or agglomerate when left standing for a long time.

During the washing and care process, the viscosity caused by shear force decreases adaptively, making the foam richer and denser, leaving no residual sticky feeling after rinsing. After rinsing, the system structure is restored, forming a thin protective film on the surface of hair and skin, improving smoothness and moisturizing properties, and perfectly balancing product stability and use experience.

4. Makeup texture system: delicate and compliant, high-end texture

Makeup products such as foundation cream, makeup cream, liquid eye shadow, and liquid foundation have strict requirements on the fluidity, uniformity, and conformability of the paste. Nanocellulose's precise thickening and rheology control capabilities can optimize the texture of makeup pastes, disperse powder more evenly, and eliminate the problems of toner precipitation and uneven color.

The make-up products modified by its thickening have moderate fluidity and excellent ductility. They are light and conformable on the face, without false whitening or powder sticking. At the same time, they rely on the breathable film-forming properties to improve the makeup's long-lasting power and take into account the high-end makeup feel and skin comfort.

3. Compared with traditional thickening materials, the core advantages are comprehensively leading

Compared with traditional thickeners such as carbomer, xanthan gum, and polyacrylate commonly used in the daily chemical industry, the thickening rheological properties of nanocellulose have all-round advantages: after thickening with traditional carbomer, the system is sticky, easy to rub, and has a heavy skin feel; xanthan gum has poor stability, easy delamination, and low transparency; synthetic thickeners have problems such as irritation and insufficient environmental protection.
