Introduction
Hand dishwashing detergents have become an indispensable part of household cleaning in China, especially in urban residences and public dining areas. With increasing living standards, there’s a growing emphasis on personal safety and hygiene. This trend, coupled with heightened environmental awareness, is significantly influencing the development of dishwashing detergent formulations. Consumers now demand products that not only effectively remove grease but are also safe, skin-friendly, and environmentally sustainable.
Enhanced Efficiency in Pesticide Removal
The Need for Effective Pesticide Removal
Modern agriculture heavily relies on pesticides, making their residue on fruits and vegetables a common concern. Effective removal of these residues is vital for ensuring cleaner and safer food consumption.
Innovations in Formulation
The inclusion of compounds like sodium citrate or sodium phosphate has been shown to significantly enhance the removal of pesticides, especially heavy metals like copper, arsenic, and lead. This innovation marks a crucial step in formulating more effective and consumer-friendly dishwashing detergents.
Skin-Friendly Formulations
Balancing Cleaning Efficacy with Skin Care
While dishwashing detergents must efficiently remove grease, they should not excessively strip natural oils or irritate the skin. This balance is a key focus in recent formulation developments.
New Surfactants and Ingredients
The advent of mild surfactants like betaines, imidazolines, and nonionic surfactants such as amine oxides has revolutionized dishwashing products. Notably, Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG) have emerged as a cornerstone ingredient, providing excellent cleaning performance while being skin-friendly and biodegradable. Their synergy with other surfactants like AES/FAS significantly enhances cleaning power while reducing skin irritation.
Concentration Trend
Moving Towards High Concentration
The trend towards more concentrated dishwashing detergents is driven by factors like packaging efficiency, transportation cost reduction, and environmental impact.
Evolution of Concentration Levels
Historically, the active substance concentration in these detergents hovered around 20%, which has now evolved to formulations with concentrations as high as 60%. This shift not only speaks to improved efficiency but also aligns with sustainability goals.
Incorporation of Enzymes and Natural Extracts
The Rise of Natural Ingredients
Innovative formulations now include natural extracts such as ginger and garlic, known for their deodorizing and antibacterial properties. This approach not only enhances the product’s efficacy but also its appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Enzymes in Dishwashing
Specialized enzymes are increasingly being incorporated into dishwashing detergents, offering targeted cleaning benefits. Their inclusion is poised to become a major trend in the market.
