DESCRIPTION

An organic acid that is part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF), derived from glutamic acid. Helps control the look of excess oil, leaving a fresh, clean feel, helps neutralize unpleasant odors and helps protect the formula; ideal for oily-looking skin and for helping maintain a smooth, firm-looking complexion.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 0.1 a 1%.
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:
  • 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: Breaks down under strongly alkaline conditions.
Precautions: Wear safety glasses; irritating on contact with eyes.
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.
