DESCRIPTION
HYDROVITON
Small hygroscopic molecules that penetrate the skin's surface layers and replenish the NMF (natural moisturizing factor). It improves skin elasticity, as it contains natural sugars and humectants. Works on 2 levels: • Short term: immediate hydration. • Long term: improves the skin's own water management.
An instant, long-lasting humectant shown to provide intense hair hydration and 48-hour skin hydration, helping prevent dryness.
Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 1-4%.
How to use and incorporate: Add during cool-down (below 40 °C/104 °F) unless the data sheet indicates another temperature; dissolve or disperse in the compatible phase (water or oil) and adjust the final pH to the range recommended by the manufacturer.
Formulation tips: Formula viscosity may be affected by the high electrolyte content.
Formulation guide: In emulsions, Hydroviton® Plus should be added at the end of the emulsification process, below 40 °C/104 °F. In surfactant-based formulas, Hydroviton® Plus can be added to the batch at any stage.
- 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: Compatible with most cosmetic bases (emulsions, gels, serums); check compatibility with the preservative system and the pH of the formula.
Storage: In a cool place in tightly closed containers. Slight discoloration of the formula may occur during storage at high temperature. Stability: Stable at pH 4–9.
Precautions: None in particular; do not ingest.
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.
