Sepiwhite MSH lipophilic cosmetic active Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine for emulsion skincare formulations
Sepiwhite MSH is a cosmetic active based on Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine, an amino acid derivative combined with a lipophilic chain. This structure provides strong compatibility with oil phases of cosmetic formulations. The ingredient appears as a fine powder with white to light cream color and neutral odor.
The ingredient is oil soluble and typically incorporated into the lipid phase of formulations. When heated the powder dissolves in plant oils, emollients and lipid bases and distributes evenly throughout the system. During cooling partial crystallization may occur, therefore emulsifying systems or solubilizing emollients are used to maintain stability.
Sepiwhite MSH is compatible with creams, emulsions, fluids, lotions and decorative cosmetic products. The ingredient remains stable across different formulation systems and allows development of products with various textures.
Properties and skin performance
Within cosmetic formulations the active distributes evenly within the lipid phase while maintaining smooth product texture. Finished products containing the ingredient show uniform consistency and soft sensory feel.
Formulations spread easily across the skin and leave a smooth cosmetic finish. The ingredient is commonly used in formulations designed to support visually balanced skin tone appearance.
Industry applications
Sepiwhite MSH is used in facial creams, cosmetic emulsions, oil based serums, fluids and decorative cosmetic products. The ingredient is applied in skincare formulations, functional cosmetic lines and professional cosmetic products.
In formulation practice the ingredient is dissolved in the oil phase and incorporated during emulsification. This method ensures even distribution and stable product structure.
Sepiwhite MSH is widely used in formulation laboratories, private label development and contract cosmetic manufacturing where formulation stability and scalability are required.
Formula example
Sepiwhite MSH 3 g
Sweet almond oil 75 ml
Caprylic triglycerides 55 ml
Cetearyl alcohol 20 g
Montanov 68 emulsifier 30 g
Glycerin 50 g
Purified water 450 ml
The water phase is prepared by mixing purified water with glycerin. In a separate vessel the oil phase is heated combining sweet almond oil, caprylic triglycerides, cetearyl alcohol and emulsifier. Sepiwhite MSH is added to the oil phase and mixed until fully dissolved. The oil phase is then combined with the water phase under mixing to form an emulsion. After cooling the mixture forms a smooth cream texture and the pH is adjusted to a stable range.
Sepiwhite MSH is widely used in professional cosmetic formulation and industrial manufacturing. The ingredient supports stable integration into emulsion systems and enables reproducible scalable cosmetic production.
