40.Ionic and Non-ionic surfactant

-
Ionic and Non-ionic surfactant
Skin care products and cosmetics need to add surfacant as well. 
There are many types surfactants. They have different characters. 
The surfactant could be divided into two groups
1.      Ionic surfactant
The ionization has three types
Anionic surfactant
RCOO-Na+
RC6H4SO3-Na+
a.  Cationic surfactant
RNH3+Cl-
RN(CH3)3+Cl-
b.  Amphoteric surfactant
R+NH2CH2COO-
RN+(CH3)2CH2CH2SO3-
The Amphoteric surfactant is milder and fewer toxicities than anionic surfactant. It most is made of shampoo and baby products.
2.      Non-ionic surfactant
water soluble functional group won’t ionize. It would exist as -OH,- O-,- CONH-, -COOR types. It also could combine with different HLB values of non-ionic surfactants.
RCOOCH2CHOHCH2OH

RC6H4(OC2H4)nOH

79.The roles of Vitamin in skin

The roles of Vitamin in skin As we know, the chemical changes induced by exposure to sunlight, we should be able to design a cosmeceutical regime to combat photodamage and reverse its effects. Vitamin molecules are the options and have the functions of metabolism, antioxidant and preventing free radical. 1.       Metabolism Vitamin A controls the conversion of pre–matrix metalloproteinases secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblasts into active matrix metalloproteinases, but with a deficiency of vitamin A, UV irradiation stimulates the unimpaired release of metalloproteinases that then destroy collagen and the anchoring fibrils. Without vitamin A, the rete pegs become flattened. Lang erhans cells need vitamin A to function, but if the vitamin A is inactivated by light, then they cannot function properly and recognize cells whose DNA has been damaged. 2.       Antioxidant Deficiencies of vitamin C permit more free radical ...

AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (Beta hydroxy acids) The ingredients of AHAs & BHAs and their sources AHAs( water-soluble ) Glycolic acid: sugarcane Latic acid: milk, fruit Malic acid: apple Tartaric acid: grape Hydroxy caprylic acid: hops Citric acid: fruit BHAs ( lipid-soluble ) Salicylic acid: plants AHAs are water-soluble and can only penetrate the outer stratum corneum. The higher concentrations are used to induce an acid peeling effect . They are effective to stimulate keratinocyte growth. For medical treatment, the concentration is higher than 20%, even more than 50%. The main function of AHAs is to modify the barrier function of the skin.  There are the functions of some ingredients.  Glycolic acid can stimulates the production of collagen . Epidermal and dermal remodeling of the extracellular matrix can result from high concentrations. However, l onger treatment intervals may result in collagen deposition . ...
