&When it comes to facial cleansing, female friends naturally have something to say: different skin types choose different facial cleansers. Oily skin types are suitable for facial cleansers with strong oil removal effects, and mild facial cleansers are suitable for use in the morning, etc. . I believe that everyone has used a variety of facial cleansers and must have heard of amino acid facial cleansers. So what are the benefits of amino acid facial cleansers? What exactly are amino acids? So let’s find out in this article! The main function of amino acid facial cleanser is its mildness, and secondly, it is suitable for Asian skin feel. But with so many facial cleanser brands on the market, do you know how to tell which one is an amino acid facial cleanser? Which one is based on the concept of amino acids but is actually another type of facial cleanser?
If you don’t know which ingredients are amino acid surfactants (hereinafter referred to as surfactants), here is a simple method: when you see the word amino acid in the ingredient list (remove the group in the amino acid) , and when there are a bunch of words in front of it that resemble lauroyl, cocoyl glutamate, followed by sodium, potassium, and triethanolamine, such as sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, etc., this type of product is an amino acid surfactant cleanser. product.
From the perspective of formula design, these facial cleansing products containing amino acid surfactants can be divided into the following types
Soap base + amino acid surfactant
Soap base is actually a facial cleanser in the domestic market is a mainstream product, and by adding amino acid surfactants to soap-based facial cleansers, it can be declared as amino acid facial cleansers. Amino acid surfactants used in soap-based surfactants generally include: sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium myristoyl glutamate, etc.
Features: This type of amino acid cleansing product is very delicate in appearance. Adding amino acid surfactant to the soap-based cleansing milk is very beneficial to reducing the irritation of the product
In addition, the product It is originally a soap-based system, so the texture of the foam can be very fine and tight. However, in general, because its essence is still soap-based, it cannot be called a real amino acid facial cleanser. Long-term use will still cause damage to the skin. .
Paste amino acid facial cleanser crystal type
Paste cleansing products are the mainstream product form in the market now, and paste amino acids are mainly formed by using water, polyols and amino acid surfactants. To achieve the purpose of thickening in a specific area, simply speaking, it is because the solubility of amino acid surfactant is poor and it can only be dispersed evenly and form crystalline and paste structures under certain temperature conditions. This type of crystalline amino acid surfactant requires a considerable amount, coupled with the high cost of raw materials and complicated formula development, the selling price is generally relatively expensive.
Features: It has mild properties and is compounded with some other mild surfactants. Although it looks like a paste in appearance, it is not as shiny as soap base.
Paste amino acid facial cleanser thickened type
This type of facial cleanser is mainly designed into a product using amino acid surfactants with good water solubility, compounded with some other surfactants, plus some water-soluble Thickeners and pearlescent agents achieve a paste-like appearance. But what needs to be noted here is that if the amino acid surfactant in the ingredient list of a cleansing product is not the main surfactant, that is to say, it is not the largest amount of surfactant, then it cannot be called a true amino acid cleansing product.
Features: Can be composed into various forms of detergents, which can be mild or not.
Amino Acid Cleansing Gel
This type of amino acid cleansing product is similar to a thickened amino acid cleansing milk, but its biggest feature is that it has a clear and transparent appearance (the transparent state can only be called a gel).
Amino acid pump type cleansing mousse
This is a product type that has appeared more on the market in recent years. Because this product has a pump head, it has lower compounding technical requirements, and the amount of amino acid surfactant added is generally lower than that of the paste. In this case, you should also check whether the amino acid surfactant in the ingredient list is the main cleanser.
Features: The foam is generally very delicate when pressed. Because the content of active ingredients is low and they are all pressed into foam, the dosage is generally less, which is suitable for lazy people.
Amino Acid Cleansing Powder
This product is mainly made from Japan. Don’t think that Amino Acid Cleansing Powder is solid, so the content is very high, but in fact it does not contain 30% amino acid surface activity, but also contains A large number of soap bases, powders, etc. to improve foam and skin feel (or save costs).
Features: Worry-free airport security (complete packaging). Easy to carry. But it’s actually inconvenient to use.
Amino Acid Cleansing Soap
This type of product is relatively rare in the Chinese market, but there are some in the Japanese market. In fact, amino acid surfactants are also added to soap as auxiliary surfactants.
To sum up, there are many kinds of cleansing products on the market that claim to be amino acid facial cleansers and contain amino acid surfactants. Remember to look at the ingredient list and appearance to determine whether the main cleaning ingredient is an amino acid surfactant. In addition, You should also choose various types of cleansing products according to your own needs and hobbies.
