Personal care products & cosmetics
The term "personal care products & cosmetics" covers a wide range of products, including skin care, hair care, decorative cosmetics, dental care, and hygiene products. These products typically contain various ingredients intended to achieve specific effects on the skin or to improve physical and microbiological stability. Dynamic water vapor sorption measurements can characterize the interaction between individual ingredients or the whole product with moisture, thus enabling the investigation and optimization of product behavior and stability.
Application Note
Water vapor sorption of skin care products
Substances such as hyaluronic acid, urea, and glycerin are commonly used in creams cosmetics and promoted for their moisturizing effects. Since the moisture content plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin, understanding the interactions between these ingredients and moisture is essential in R&D. Application note 25-02 demonstrates the benefits of DVS measurements for characterizing the moisturizing and moisture-retaining effects of several skin care products and their effects on the skin.
