Nanocellulose: a natural bio-based substrate, empowering a new upgrade of pure skin care in the daily chemical industry

At present, the daily chemical industry is entering a new stage of development with pure formulas, natural safety, low carbon and environmental protection . Consumer demand for additive-free, low-irritation, and biodegradable skin care and care products continues to surge. Traditional synthetic thickeners, rheology additives, and stabilizers have gradually become shackles for industry product iteration due to ingredient disputes and environmental shortcomings. Against this background, nanocellulose derived from natural biomass, with its core advantages of non-toxic, harmless, biocompatible, controllable performance, and complete degradability, has become the core new base material for daily chemical formula innovation. It is widely used in various skin care, washing and cosmetics products, providing new solutions for daily chemical companies to create clean labels, upgrade product texture, and achieve green and low-carbon production.

1. Core overview of daily chemical grade nanocellulose

Relying on advanced green dissociation, mild modification and high-purity purification processes, suitable for daily chemical scenarios can be prepared from high-quality bamboo pulp, wood pulp and other natural plant raw materials TEMPO oxidized nanocellulose ( TOCNF ) and fine cellulose nanofibrils ( CNF ) series products . Take the daily chemical-grade nanocellulose standardized and produced by Nanjing Tianlu Nano as an example. The product has high purity, extremely low impurities, stable dispersion properties, and no allergenic residues. It fully complies with the safety access standards for cosmetics and can be directly used in various skin-contact daily chemical products. It is the preferred natural functional base material for high-end pure formulas.

This material completely retains the safe and mild properties of natural cellulose. It relies on the controllable nano-scale ultra-fine fiber structure and stable three-dimensional network structure. It has excellent thixotropic rheological properties and can accurately solve the common pain points of daily chemical formulas such as unstable suspension, stickiness of pastes, inactivation of active substances, and system delamination. It is a high-quality natural upgraded raw material that can effectively replace traditional carboxylate and xanthan gum.

2. Core performance advantages of adapting to daily chemical formulas

The core reason why nanocellulose has become the preferred material for formula upgrading in the daily chemical industry lies in its exclusive performance that meets the production and use needs of skin care products and cleansing products, taking into account the three core dimensions of formula stability, skin feel, and product safety .

1. Natural, safe and mild, suitable for pure formula

Daily chemical grade nanocellulose is 100% plant-based raw material. It has no chemical residue, no irritation, and no allergenicity. It has excellent biocompatibility and can meet the strict safety requirements of sensitive skin and infant care products. The product can be completely degraded naturally after being discarded, with no microplastic pollution, helping companies create clean label products with ' no synthetic additives, no additives, low carbon and environmental protection ' , which is in line with the current green consumption trend in the daily chemical market.

2. Intelligent thixotropic rheology to optimize product texture

It has unique shear thinning properties for daily chemical formulas: when the product is left standing and stored, the fibers interweave to form a stable network structure, which firmly locks the active ingredients and powder particles in the system, effectively solving the problems of settlement, stratification, and suspension failure of essences, gels, and emulsions, and greatly extending the shelf life of the product. When the product is applied and applied to the skin, the viscosity of the system is rapidly reduced by shear force, and the texture instantly becomes light and smooth, saying goodbye to the sticky, muddy, and heavy feeling caused by traditional thickeners, creating a refreshing and breathable high-end skin feel.

3. Film-forming to lock in moisture and breathability, improving skin care efficacy

Nanocellulose microfibers can form a thin, even and breathable natural protective film on the surface of the skin, which can firmly lock in skin moisture, reduce water loss, and achieve long-lasting moisturizing without clogging pores. At the same time, it can evenly wrap various active ingredients such as vitamins, plant extracts, and peptides, slowly release the active ingredients, enhance the repair, moisturizing, and soothing effects of skin care products, and greatly enhance the core competitiveness of the product.

4. Strong compatibility, suitable for all types of formulas

The material has a wide acid-base adaptability range and can be perfectly compatible with various daily chemical formulation systems such as water-based, weakly acidic, and weakly alkaline. It is highly compatible with moisturizers, repair ingredients, plant essences, and powder raw materials. It will not conflict with or deteriorate the formula ingredients, nor affect the original efficacy and smell of the product. It is suitable for the development and production of multiple categories of daily chemical products.

3. Core application scenarios of nanocellulose in the field of daily chemicals

Relying on multiple exclusive properties, nanocellulose has been fully implemented in multiple daily chemical segmented tracks such as skin care, cleansing and cosmetics, covering mainstream terminal products, and achieving quality improvement, upgrade and differentiation for various daily chemical products.

1. Essence and repair gel products

In repair essence, moisturizing gel, soothing gel and other products, it can replace traditional synthetic thickeners to achieve a high-definition and translucent system with a uniform and transparent texture. It can stably disperse active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica, and ceramide to prevent deactivation and precipitation of ingredients. It can also create a refreshing and moist skin experience. It is easy to apply and absorb quickly. It can long-term repair the skin barrier and is suitable for high-end products for sensitive skin care.

2. Lotion and cream skin care products

Adding a small amount can optimize the paste state of lotion and facial cream, making the paste delicate and soft, without clumping or separation of oil and water. Relying on the film-forming moisturizing properties, it improves the product's water-locking and moisturizing capabilities, improves skin dryness and flaking problems, and at the same time avoids the heavy and stuffy skin problems caused by traditional additives, creating a light and breathable skin care experience.

3. Facial cleansing and care products

It is suitable for amino acid cleansing gel, mild hand soap, shower gel, hair care gel and other products. It plays the role of thickening, stabilizing foam and uniform texture, making the cleansing texture smoother, lathering finely and richly, leaving no slippery residue after rinsing, taking into account both cleaning power and mildness, making it a mild cleansing product suitable for the whole family.

4. Facial masks and hospital skin care products

It can be used in facial mask essences and hospital-line repair dressing essence systems to stabilize the suspended essence ingredients and improve the fit of the essence. At the same time, it uses natural film-forming properties to assist skin repair, improve the moisturizing, soothing and hydrating effects of the mask, and allow better penetration and absorption of nutrients.

5. Makeup and base products

In products such as foundation cream, makeup primer, and moisturizing foundation, it can evenly disperse powder raw materials to prevent the powder from settling and clumping, making the makeup texture more delicate and compliant. It also improves the moisture content of the product, reduces powder sticking and floating powder problems, and creates a natural and clear makeup feel.

4. Enterprise daily chemical grade nanocellulose customized services

Relying on the advantages of refined R&D and production, Nanjing Tianlu Nano focuses on polishing special nanocellulose for daily chemical grade, abandoning general industrial-grade production standards, and creating high-purity, low-irritation, high-dispersion and strong adaptability special raw materials in response to the high-end and natural needs of daily chemical formulas.
