Analysis of in-depth application of nanocellulose in shower gel

Today, when ' natural, green and safe ' have become the mainstream consumer trend, daily chemical products are undergoing profound ingredient innovation. Especially in the field of shower gel, consumers are increasingly paying attention to the gentleness, sustainability and high-end skin experience of the products. As a representative of emerging green materials, nanocellulose is rapidly gaining market favor with its outstanding performance and gradually replacing traditional petrochemical thickening and suspension systems. This article will explore the deep application of nanocellulose in shower gel, and introduce the technical achievements and solutions of Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. , a leading domestic nanocellulose supplier, in this field.

1. Introduction to nanocellulose materials

Nanocellulose is a high-performance material obtained by physical or chemical nanoification of natural cellulose. It can be divided into :

Cellulose nanocrystalline ( CNC ) : has high crystallinity and short size, suitable for emulsion stabilizers;

Cellulose nanofiber filaments ( CNF ) : strong flexibility, high aspect ratio, excellent thickening and network film forming performance;

Bacterial nanocellulose ( BNC ) : Synthesized from microorganisms, high purity, and is used in high-end skin care products systems.

Its characteristics include: high specific surface area, high water absorption, strong rheology regulation ability, natural source, non-toxic and harmless, and completely degradable.

2. Functional mechanism and advantages in shower gel

1. Natural thickening and texture optimization

Nanocellulose, especially CNF , can significantly increase the viscosity and consistency of shower gel at extremely low concentrations ( 0.2%~0.8% ) by building a three-dimensional network, bringing a ' silky and non-stick ' skin feeling experience, and can replace traditional petrochemical thickeners such as PEG and carbomer.

2. Excellent suspension and system stability

Its strong shear thinning characteristics and network structure are formed when static, which can suspend insoluble matter such as pearlescent agents, natural particles, essential oil capsules, etc., prevent settlement or float, and give the product better visual and tactile performance.

3. Moisturizing skin care and skin barrier repair

Nanocellulose has good hydrophilicity and can form a microfilm on the skin surface, locking in moisture and reducing tight and dry feeling. At the same time, its bioinergic and gentle nature is extremely suitable for sensitive skin and is ideal for ' zero irritation ' formula.

4. Environmentally friendly and biodegradable, helping brand upgrade green

Its natural source and biodegradable properties make it the first choice for environmentally friendly formulas without microplastic pollution, comply with the green certification system (such as ECOCERT 、COSMOS ) standards, and meet the 'Clean Beauty' consumer needs.

3. Formula application examples

In this system, CNF not only effectively replaces synthetic polymer thickeners, but also coordinates to achieve multiphase component suspension and long-term moisturizing, improving the stability and high-end feeling of the product.

4. Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd.: Pioneer in the industrialization of nanocellulose
