Glycerolipid Composition and Advanced Physicochemical Considerations of Sacha Inchi Oil toward Cosmetic Products Formulation

Abstract

Sacha inchi oil is a premier raw material with highly nutritional and functional features for the foodstuff, pharmaceutical, beauty, and personal care industries. One of the most important facts about this oil is the huge chemical content of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, the current available information on the characterization of the triglyceride composition and the advance physicochemical parameters relevant to emulsion development is limited. Therefore, this research focused on providing a detailed description of the lipid composition using high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry and thorough physicochemical characterization to find the value of the required hydrophilic–lipophilic balance (HLB). For this, a study in the interfacial tension was evaluated, followed by the assessment of different parameters such as creaming index, droplet size, viscosity, zeta potential, pH, and electrical conductivity for a series emulsified at thermal stress condition. The results show that fatty acids are arranged into glycerolipids and the required HLB to achieve the maximum physical stability is around 8.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Evaluation of Solution Properties of Sesame Fatty Methyl Ester Sulfonate Surfactant

“…HLB value of the SEFAMESO surfactant was estimated following the Davies method . This was done by summing up the group numbers of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups HLB values according to eq . Since the chemical structures of the SEFAMESO surfactant constitute a mixture of fatty methyl esters sodium sulfonate groups, the overall contribution of each fatty methyl ester derivative was considered according to eq where HLB T is the overall HBL value of the surfactant mixture and HLB a , HLB b , to HLB n represent the HLB values of each individual surfactant in the mixture with S a , S b , to S n denoting their respective proportion (%) in the mixture.…”

Study of In Vitro and In Vivo Carbamazepine Release from Coarse and Nanometric Pharmaceutical Emulsions Obtained via Ultra-High-Pressure Homogenization

“…The oily solution and ultrapure water were then heated to 60 °C and 62 °C, respectively, at which point where methyl-paraben and propyl-paraben preservatives were added into the ultrapure water to concentrations of 0.3% w / w and 0.14% w / w . In contrast, Tween TM 80 and Span TM 80 surfactants were added into the oily solution at 2% w / w , providing an HLB value of the surfactant blend of 8, which is, in fact, the required HLB of the oil that leads to high stabilization of such emulsified systems [ 37 , 38 ]. Afterward, the oily phase was poured into the aqueous phase, using an Ultraturrax IKA ® at 6000 rpm for 10 min, and the emulsified systems were cooled to room temperature (25 °C) to obtain the coarse emulsions.…”

Neurocosmetics in Skincare—The Fascinating World of Skin–Brain Connection: A Review to Explore Ingredients, Commercial Products for Skin Aging, and Cosmetic Regulation

“…DEBORAH GROUP LABORATORIES developed the Gloss Euphoric Shine, a lipstick with a mix of components "that gives an immediate feeling of wellbeing" due to the presence of the nourishing and moisturizing blue poppy extract, omega-6 and -9, vitamins, and the innovative molecule Euphoryl TM Ω3 [49]. This active ingredient is a mix of Sacha inchi oil-rich in omega-3 [50][51][52]-and Schinus terebinthifolia (pink pepper) extract [37,53]. Omega-3 fatty acids help to counteract hypersensitivity, dryness, and inflammation, refining skin appearance, and also have antioxidant properties, thereby helping keep women's skin healthy and glowing.…”
