Sunscreen & Eye Gel Packaging and Fractionated Coconut Oil HLB
Question
I have questions regarding packaging for cosmetic products and the properties of a specific ingredient:
- For sunscreen, what type of packaging is recommended, especially considering protection from light and heat, and preventing the product from hardening or being difficult to dispense (like physical sunscreens)?
- For eye gel, are 15g or 30g sizes in jar or pump bottles suitable?
- What is the HLB value of MySkinRecipes' Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) which is composed of 55% Caprylic acid (C8) and 45% Capric acid (C10)?
Answer
Recommendations on Sunscreen and Eye Gel Packaging, and HLB of Fractionated Coconut Oil
Regarding sunscreen packaging, it is recommended to use opaque containers, especially squeeze tubes. This helps to protect the product from light and heat exposure, which can degrade the quality of the sunscreen over time. Squeeze tubes are also particularly suitable for physical sunscreens, as they can help prevent the product from hardening and becoming difficult to dispense, as mentioned in the conversation.
For eye gel packaging, you mentioned interest in 15g or 30g sizes in jars or pump bottles. These types of containers are commonly used for eye gels.
Regarding the HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) of Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride), the value can vary depending on the specific composition and source. As confirmed by the staff, the Fractionated Coconut Oil sold by MySkinRecipes, which consists of 55% caprylic acid (C8) and 45% capric acid (C10), has an HLB value of 0.
