[News & Trends]:Difference in cosmetic raw materials: formaldehyde and benzaldehyde

Cosmetics are an essential part of modern daily life, but many people are not familiar with the raw materials of cosmetics. This article will focus on two common cosmetic ingredients: formaldehyde and benzaldehyde. By understanding their differences, we can better choose cosmetics that are suitable for ourselves

Let's first learn about acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is a commonly used cosmetic preservative and is also used in hair dyes and skincare products. It has bactericidal and preservative effects, which can extend the shelf life of cosmetics. However, there are also some issues with acetaldehyde. According to scientific research, long-term use of cosmetics containing acetaldehyde may cause irritation and adverse reactions to the skin. Therefore, people with sensitive skin should carefully choose cosmetics containing formaldehyde


Let's learn about benzaldehyde. Benzaldehyde is a commonly used perfume and preservative, which is widely used in cosmetics, perfume and cleaning products. Compared to formaldehyde, benzaldehyde has better anti-corrosion and aroma stability, which can help cosmetics maintain a longer aroma and shelf life. However, benzaldehyde also has certain safety hazards. According to relevant studies, some people may experience allergic reactions to benzaldehyde, so personal skin type and constitution should be taken into consideration during use


Overall, formaldehyde and benzaldehyde are common cosmetic ingredients that have certain effects in terms of preservation and aroma stability. However, due to differences in personal skin type and physique, when choosing cosmetics, we should consider our own situation comprehensively and avoid choosing products that contain too much formaldehyde or benzaldehyde. In addition, it is recommended that everyone pay attention to the ingredient list when purchasing cosmetics, and avoid choosing products that contain too much formaldehyde or benzaldehyde


To ensure our skin health, we should understand the ingredients of cosmetics and try to choose safe and non irritating products. In addition, maintaining good skin care habits and avoiding excessive reliance on cosmetics are more beneficial for skin health. I hope that through the introduction in this article, we can help everyone better understand formaldehyde and benzaldehyde, and make some choices when choosing cosmetics.
