Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 1-5%
How to use and incorporate: Add to the water phase at the beginning of the process. Can be used to premix gums and polymers before dispersing them in water to avoid lumps.
Formulation tips:
  • Combine with emollients or occlusives to reduce water loss and balance the skin feel.
  • 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.
Storage: In a cool place in tightly closed containers.
Precautions: Wear gloves 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.
