AI Technical Summary
Existing serum cream emulsifiers are prone to decreased stability and viscosity changes when exposed to environmental changes such as temperature fluctuations, making it difficult to maintain the product's uniformity and performance over the long term.
Macromolecular emulsifier 1 and macromolecular emulsifier 2 are formed by free radical polymerization after esterification of PEG100 stearate and cetearyl glucoside with acrylic acid, respectively, which enhances the viscosity and stability of the system and improves the cohesive force through the entangled network structure of macromolecular chains and hydroxyl binding.
It significantly improves the viscosity stability of the essence cream, maintaining the product's uniformity under varying high and low temperature conditions, thus enhancing its storage and usage effects.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cosmetic technology, specifically to an acne-removing essence cream based on plant extracts and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of cosmetic technology, serum creams, as a common skincare product, typically contain an oil phase, a water phase, and various functional ingredients. Emulsifiers are the core components that ensure the uniform mixing of the oil and water phases and maintain the stability of the system. They not only promote the compatibility of ingredients with different polarities but also play a decisive role in the texture, spreadability, and skin feel of the product, directly affecting its overall quality and market acceptance. Therefore, they occupy an irreplaceable position in the research and development and production of serum creams.
[0003] In existing technologies, the emulsifiers used in serum creams are mostly small-molecule emulsifiers or conventional large-molecule emulsifiers, such as fatty acid esters and glycosides. These emulsifiers are usually added directly into the formulation system, and by utilizing the hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in their molecular structure, they reduce the oil-water interfacial tension and help form a preliminary emulsion structure to meet the product's basic emulsification requirements.
[0004] However, the emulsifiers used in existing technologies still have significant limitations. Due to their molecular structure and performance characteristics, serum cream systems stabilized by these emulsifiers are prone to decreased stability and significant viscosity changes when subjected to environmental changes such as temperature fluctuations. This makes it difficult to maintain the uniformity and performance of the product over a long period, which has a significant impact on the storage, transportation, and actual use of serum creams, limiting their further application.
[0005] In conclusion, a new technical solution is urgently needed to address the problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention
