DESCRIPTION
Hair Peptide for Thinning-Looking Hair

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Recommended usage level: 2.0–5.0 % in the water phase, depending on the formulation type.
How to use and incorporate: Add to the water phase during cool-down (below 40 °C/104 °F), in formulas at pH 5–7; avoid combining it in the same phase with strong acids.
Formulation tips:
- To communicate benefits on the finished product, respect the usage level evaluated by the manufacturer and keep the active's technical documentation.
- Avoid combining it with ingredients that alter its optimal pH or stability (oxidizers, strong acids, excess electrolytes).
- Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Incompatibilities: Compatible with most mild surfactants, nonionic emulsifiers and plant extracts. Do not use in formulations with extreme pH (<4 or >8), as it may reduce its performance.
Storage: Keep in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry place protected from light. Recommended temperature: 2 – 8 °C. Stability: Stable in formulations at pH 4.0–8.0
Precautions: For cosmetic use only; do not ingest. Avoid direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes; in case of contact, rinse with plenty of water. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Keep out of reach of children. Handle under proper hygienic conditions during formulation. Handling: Use personal protective equipment (PPE): lab coat, gloves, mask and safety glasses.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
