Description

Sodium Rose Hipsamphoacetate is a surfactant and emulsifying agent used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is derived from rose hips, which are the fruit of the rose plant, and is designed to enhance the stability and texture of cosmetic formulations. It serves as a gentle cleansing agent and helps in creating stable emulsions, improving the overall performance of skincare and haircare products.

Chemical Composition and Structure:
Sodium Rose Hipsamphoacetate is a salt of the amphoteric surfactant derived from rose hips. Its chemical structure includes:

Molecular Structure: It features a hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) part, which helps it interact with both water and oil phases in formulations.
Chemical Formula: The exact formula can vary depending on the specific formulation, but it generally includes a combination of sodium ions and rose hip-derived surfactant components.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly cloudy liquid.
Odor: Usually has a mild, neutral odor, depending on the formulation.
Solubility: Soluble in water, making it suitable for use in aqueous formulations.
pH Range: Usually formulated to be pH-neutral to slightly acidic, compatible with skin and hair.

Production Process:

Extraction: Rose hips are processed to extract active compounds which are then used to create the surfactant.
Synthesis: The extracted compounds are reacted with sodium-based agents to form Sodium Rose Hipsamphoacetate.
Purification: The product is purified and concentrated to ensure consistency and effectiveness in cosmetic formulations.
Formulation: Sodium Rose Hipsamphoacetate is incorporated into various cosmetic and personal care products to enhance their texture, stability, and performance.

Applications:

Cleansers: Used in facial cleansers, body washes, and shampoos for its gentle cleansing properties.
Emulsions: Helps stabilize emulsions in creams, lotions, and conditioners, ensuring a smooth texture.
Personal Care Products: Included in a wide range of products including body scrubs, masks, and soaps to improve formulation stability and skin feel.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Sodium Rose Hipsamphoacetate is generally considered to have a low environmental impact, as it is derived from natural rose hips and designed to be biodegradable.
Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. It is non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin types. However, individuals with specific allergies or sensitivities should be cautious.

INCI:


Cleansing agent. Ingredient that cleanses skin without exploiting the surface-active properties that produce a lowering of the surface tension of the stratum corneum.

Surfactant - Cleansing agent. Cosmetic products used to cleanse the skin utilise the surface-active action that produces a lowering of the surface tension of the stratum corneum, facilitating the removal of dirt and impurities.
