FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is Nanoalkali AMP95?
Nanoalkali AMP95 is a nano-engineered form of Aminomethyl Propanol (AMP), providing the same buffering and stabilizing benefits as standard AMP but enhanced for superior dispersion, stability, and performance in personal care formulations.
2. What is Aminomethyl Propanol and how is it typically used in cosmetics?
Aminomethyl Propanol—also known as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP)—is commonly employed as a pH adjuster, buffering agent, and stabilizer in cosmetic and personal care formulations like lotions, creams, hair sprays, and color cosmetics.
3. How does Nanoalkali AMP95 differ from standard (non-nano) AMP?
Nanoalkali AMP95 offers all the established functionalities of AMP—efficient pH control, emulsion stabilization, and texture refinement—but at the nanoscale. This leads to improved solubility, smoother feel, better integration into complex formulations, and potentially lower usage levels.
4. What are the benefits of using Nanoalkali AMP95 in personal care products?
Enhanced pH buffering and formulation stability
Improved dispersion in emulsions and texture consistency
Reduced product stickiness and enhanced sensory experience
Retains multifunctional properties like pigment dispersancy and compatibility with other ingredients—typical of AMP-95 grades
5. In which types of personal care products can Nanoalkali AMP95 be used?
Ideal for use in:
- Creams, lotions, and serums
- Hair styling products like gels and sprays
- Color cosmetics (e.g., foundations, mascaras)
- Skin and body care products requiring precise pH stability
6. What is the CAS number and INCI name of Aminomethyl Propanol?
CAS Number: 124-68-5
INCI Name: AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL
Note: Nanoalkali AMP95 retains the same INCI identifier for regulatory clarity, though its nano-optimized formulation may be detailed in technical documentation.
7. Is Nanoalkali AMP95 safe for use in skin and hair care products?
Yes. Aminomethyl Propanol is recognized as safe by cosmetic authorities when used within acceptable concentrations. The CIR panel reviewed AMP and determined safety up to 7% concentration; irritation and sensitization were reported to be minimal. Proper formulation to avoid impurities is advised due to potential nitrosamine concerns.
8. How should formulators incorporate Nanoalkali AMP95 into their products?
Nanoalkali AMP95 can be added during the neutralization or cooling phase of product formulation. Because of its nano-scale, it disperses more smoothly—requiring gentle stirring or mild mixing to ensure even integration and pH neutralization.
9. Which skin or hair types benefit most from Nanoalkali AMP95?
Nanoalkali AMP95 is well-suited for:
- All skin types, with particular utility in sensitive or delicate formulations due to its mildness
- Hair styling and treatment products, offering improved feel and hold
- Any formula where precise pH control is critical for preservative efficacy or product stability
