Oily raw materials include natural oily raw materials and synthetic oily raw materials. They mainly refer to oils, waxes, hydrocarbons, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and esters. They are the main raw materials for cosmetics. Grease is the general term for oils and fats, and fats include vegetable fats and animal fats. The main component of oil is fatty acid glyceride composed of fatty acid and glycerin.

Vegetable oils are divided into three categories, drying oils, semi-drying oils and non-drying oils. Drying oils such as linseed oil and sunflower oil; semi-drying oils such as cottonseed oil, soybean oil, and sesame oil; non-drying oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, and castor oil. Most of the fats and oils used in cosmetics are semi-drying oils, and dry oils are hardly used as raw materials for cosmetics. Commonly used fats and oils are: olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, almond oil, peanut oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, tea seed oil, sea buckthorn oil, avocado oil, stone chestnut oil, European nuts Oil, walnut oil, cocoa butter, etc.

Animal oils and fats are used in cosmetics such as mink oil, egg butter, lanolin, lecithin, etc. Animal oils and fats generally include highly unsaturated fatty acids and fatty acids. Compared with vegetable oils and fats, their color and smell are poor. Attention should be paid to anti-corrosion issues during specific use. Mink oil has good affinity, is easily absorbed by the skin, is smooth and not greasy after use, and has excellent performance. Therefore, it is widely used in cosmetics, such as nutrient cream, moisturizer, hair oil, shampoo, lipstick and Sunscreen cosmetics, etc. Egg butter contains fats, phospholipids, lecithin, vitamins A, D, E, etc., and can be used as a raw material for lipstick cosmetics. Lanolin oil has good skin affinity, permeability, diffusion, good lubrication and softness, easy to be absorbed by the skin, safe and non-irritating to the skin; it is mainly used for anhydrous ointments, lotions, hair oils and bath oils. Lecithin is extracted from egg yolks, soybeans and grains. It has the effects of emulsifying, anti-oxidizing and moisturizing the skin. It is a good natural emulsifier and is often used in moisturizing creams and oils.

Waxes are esters composed of high-carbon fatty acids and high-carbon fatty alcohols. This ester plays a role in stability, viscosity adjustment, and reduction of greasy feeling in cosmetics. The waxes mainly used in cosmetics are: palm wax, candelilla wax, jojoba wax, wood wax, lanolin, beeswax and so on.
The refined product of palm wax is white or light yellow, brittle and hard solid, with a pleasant smell. The main components are mellyol cerate and wax ester of cerate. In cosmetics, it mainly increases the melting point of wax esters, increases hardness, toughness and gloss, and also tends to reduce viscosity, plasticity and crystallization. Mainly used in lipstick, mascara, hair removal wax and other products.
Candelilla wax is a light yellow translucent or opaque solid. The exquisite product is shiny and aromatic, slightly sticky. The main ingredients are carbohydrates, wax esters, higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, etc. Used in lake-like cosmetics such as lipsticks.
Jojoba wax is a transparent, odorless, light yellow liquid. Mainly wax esters composed of fatty acids with more than twelve carbon atoms and fatty alcohols. Its characteristics are not easy to oxidize and rancidity, non-toxic, non-irritating, easy to be absorbed by the skin, and have good moisturizing effects. Therefore, it is widely used in products such as moisturizers, creams, shampoos, hair conditioners, lipsticks, nail polishes, baby skin care products and cleansers.
Wood wax, also known as Japanese wax, is a light milk-colored wax with a sour odor, not hard, and has toughness, ductility and stickiness. Its main component is palmitic acid triglyceride, which is vegetable fat or high-melting fat. It is easily compatible with beeswax, cocoa butter and other triglycerides, and is easily saponified by alkali to form an emulsion. Used in lotion and cream cosmetics.
Beeswax is also called beeswax. It has the characteristics of high melting point, so it has been a raw material for cold creams since ancient times. It is also a raw material for making hair wax, rouge, lipstick, eye shadow stick, mascara and other cosmetic cosmetics. In addition, it has anti-bacterial, fungal, wound healing functions, and is also used in shampoos, shampoos, and high-efficiency anti-dandruff shampoos. Lanolin is a secretion from the cortical glands of sheep. The product is a yellow translucent oily viscous ointment-like semi-solid. There are water and no water. The main components are fats of various fatty acids and fatty alcohols, which are melting point waxes. It has good emulsification, wetting and penetration effects. It has the functions of soft skin, preventing degreasing and preventing skin chapped, and can be compatible with many kinds of raw materials. It is a good raw material for cosmetics. It is widely used in skin care creams, sunscreen products and hair care esters, as well as in soaps, lipsticks and other cosmetics.

Hydrocarbon refers to a type of carbohydrate derived from natural mineral refinement. They have a high boiling point, mostly above 300°C, without the saponification value and acid value of animal and vegetable fats and oils. According to its nature and structure, it can be divided into three categories: aliphatic hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. In cosmetics, it is mainly used as a solvent to prevent the evaporation of moisture on the skin’s surface and improve the moisturizing effect of cosmetics. Hydrocarbons commonly used in cosmetics include liquid paraffin, solid paraffin, microcrystalline paraffin, ozokerite, petrolatum and so on.
Liquid paraffin is also called white oil or wax oil. It is a colorless, transparent, tasteless and odorless viscous liquid. It is widely used in cosmetics such as hair oil, wax, hair cream, cream, cold cream and shaving cream.
Vaseline, also known as mineral grease, is a white and light yellow uniform paste. It is mainly a mixture of C16-C32 high-carbon alkanes and high-carbon olefins. It has the characteristics of odorless, odorless, good chemical inertness, good adhesion, low price, lipophilicity and high density. It is used in skin care creams, hair products, cosmetics, cosmetics, such as: cleansing cream, beauty cream, hair wax, lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara and hair dye cream, etc. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is also used as an ointment base or as an important ingredient in pharmaceutical cosmetics.
Because solid paraffin has no adverse reactions to the skin, it is mainly used as a raw material for hair wax, balsam, rouge, lipstick and other oils and fats.
In cosmetics, ozokerite is divided into two grades. The first grade has a melting point of 74℃-78℃ and is mainly used as a raw material for emulsion products; the second grade has a melting point of 66℃-68℃ and is mainly used as an important raw material for hair wax.
Squalane is produced by hydrogenation of squalene obtained from deep-sea shark liver oil. It is a colorless, transparent, odorless, odorless, and non-toxic oily liquid. The main components are myristic acid, myristic acid, and squalene. , Squalane, etc. Squalane has good permeability, lubricity and safety, and is often used in various types of creams, lotions, lotions, lipsticks, conditioners, eyeliner and other high-end cosmetics.
