Abstract: With the rapid development of the pure beauty and functional skin care market, gel masks and frozen masks have become mainstream skin care categories. Traditional formulas commonly suffer from particle sedimentation, system turbidity, sticky skin feel, and unstable active ingredients. Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. self-developed daily chemical grade nanocellulose CNF . With its unique nano-network structure, it can be efficiently used in liquid facial masks and repair gel formulas to achieve stable suspension of the system, long-term moisturizing, and texture upgrade. It is a new natural cosmetic raw material that currently replaces traditional chemical additives.

In the current iteration and upgrade of pure beauty and functional skin care, smear-type liquid masks and frozen masks have become core popular categories in the skin care market due to their advantages such as refreshing fit, partitionable care, and high inclusive efficacy. Consumers' demand for mask products has long been upgraded from basic moisturizing to multiple demands for Traditional gel masks often face industry pain points such as system turbidity, particle settlement, sticky texture, insufficient moisturizing power, and easy deactivation of active substances. transparent texture, stable efficacy, comfortable skin feel, gentleness and safety . Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. is deeply involved in the field of new nanocellulose materials, focusing on the research and development, production and implementation of scenario-based solutions for daily chemical-grade CNF . Relying on mature modification processes and stable mass production capabilities, it creates high-quality nanocellulose raw materials suitable for facial mask systems, accurately solves the core problems of frozen film and liquid mask formulations, and empowers the differentiated upgrade of beauty and skin care products.

1. Characteristics of daily chemical grade CNF raw materials: specially adapted to gel mask formulas

Nanocellulose CNF is a naturally renewable and biodegradable nano-scale functional polymer raw material. Tianlu Nano relies on the professional TEMPO oxidation core preparation process to purify and modify plant fibers. The daily chemical-grade CNF raw materials produced have high purity, good compatibility, non-toxic and non-irritating, and have excellent comprehensive application performance. Its unique three-dimensional nano-network structure , combined with abundant surface hydroxyl groups, gives the raw material excellent thixotropic rheological properties, high water retention and system suspension stability. It perfectly meets the gel texture preparation needs of liquid masks and frozen masks. It is a high-quality natural raw material that can replace traditional synthetic thickeners and stabilizers such as carbomer and xanthan gum.

Compared with traditional formula raw materials, the gel system created by CNF has significantly differentiated characteristics: it presents a uniform and thick gel texture in the standing state, and has good formability; it becomes thinner under force during the application process, and the ductility is full, and it goes on the face smoothly without resistance. It solves the problems of traditional gelatin that makes acne thick and sticky, and achieves a high-end skin feel of ' resting to set and applying light and thin ' .

2. The core application advantages of nanocellulose CNF in frozen masks and liquid masks

1, powerful suspension and stabilization system to solve the problem of particle stratification and sedimentation

Functional frozen masks and brightening liquid masks usually add functional components such as whitening powder, frosted microbeads, plant essence particles, and anti-aging active particles. However, these functional particles have uneven proportions and are prone to problems such as sedimentation, agglomeration, and delamination during long-term storage, which directly affects the appearance of the product and the consumer experience.

The unique three-dimensional network structure of CNF can form a uniform physical support skeleton, which can evenly suspend various functional particles without the need for additional suspending aids , allowing whitening, skin rejuvenation, cleansing, and repairing components to be evenly dispersed in the formula system. At the same time, CNF is adapted to high-transparency formulas to create a clear and transparent high-end gel texture, completely improving the common problems of traditional gel masks such as turbidity, sedimentation, layering, and unstable shelf life, and greatly improving the shelf life stability of daily chemical products.

2, highly moisturizing and water-locking, creating a refreshing and breathable mask experience

Moisturizing is the core basic function of smear-type frozen masks and liquid masks. The surface of nanocellulose CNF is rich in hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, which can build a high-density water-locking network through hydrogen bonds to firmly lock the formula moisture and the underlying moisture of the skin. During the application process, it can continuously deliver moisture to the skin, nourish the stratum corneum, and form a thin and breathable bionic moisturizing film on the surface of the skin , effectively reducing water evaporation and long-term improvement of skin dryness, roughness, flaking, dry sensitivity and other problems.

Different from the sticky and stuffy feeling caused by traditional xanthan gum and carbomer, the texture of the frozen mask formulated with Tianlu Nano Daily Chemical Grade CNF is moist and refreshing. It does not drip, make acne, or rub mud after application. The skin is transparent and delicate after application. It is suitable for use on all skin types such as dry, oily, and sensitive, and comprehensively upgrades the user's skin care experience.

3, compatible with multiple activities, improving the stability of skin care product formulas

At present, effective skin care is becoming more and more refined. The mainstream frozen masks and liquid masks on the market are often compounded with multiple active ingredients such as VC , nicotinamide, peptides, plant extracts, and repair essences. However, most active substances are afraid of light and oxygen, and are easily oxidized and ineffective, resulting in reduced product efficacy, discoloration and deterioration.

CNF has excellent formula compatibility and chemical inertness, and does not react with active ingredients in skin care. At the same time, it can absorb active ingredients by wrapping them in a nanopore structure, isolating light and oxygen erosion, and greatly improving the stability of active ingredients. Relying on the slow and sustained release properties, the active ingredients can gradually penetrate into the skin, which not only improves the skin care effect, but also prevents high-concentration active substances from irritating the skin. It can be widely used in all types of products such as whitening and rejuvenating masks, deep cleansing gels, and sensitive skin repair gels.

3. Comply with the trend of pure beauty and help differentiate and upgrade skin care products

The global Clean Beauty concept of pure skin care continues to gain popularity, and natural, safe, microplastic-free, and biodegradable products have become the core competitiveness of beauty products. Nanocellulose CNF is derived from natural plant fibers. The production process is green and environmentally friendly. It has no chemical residues and no skin irritation. It is completely biodegradable and completely abandons the safety hazards caused by traditional synthetic additives and microplastics. It is highly in line with the current market demand for green and safe skin care.

In actual formula applications, Tianlu Nano CNF can effectively streamline the formula system and replace a variety of chemical synthetic thickeners, suspending agents, and moisturizing additives to achieve a minimalist, mild, and safe formula. Help beauty brands create natural, pure, high-end product labels, get rid of industry homogeneity and low-price involution, and easily create differentiated facial masks that are popular.

4. Summary: CNF has become the core raw material for upgrading the facial mask category

Whether it is texture optimization, system stability, moisturizing, empowering, and active preservation, nanocellulose CNF comprehensively solves the core formula pain points of liquid masks and frozen masks. With its five core advantages of transparent texture, stable system, refreshing skin feel, long-lasting moisturizing, and safe and biodegradable , it has become a key functional raw material for the iterative upgrade of smear-on facial masks.
