DESCRIPTION
LIPOCAFFEINE-L
This product is a patented system containing unilamellar and multilamellar lipid vesicles, providing a prolonged-release effect with a high encapsulation rate that greatly improves the product's performance. It contains liposome-encapsulated caffeine and cocoa extract (theobromine) for maximum performance when applied topically in body-contouring products that improve the look of cellulite. It reduces the look of dark circles and helps reduce the look of under-eye puffiness.
Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 2.0-4.0%
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: Original container tightly closed, protected from light and heat. Some actives require refrigeration (2–8 °C/36–46 °F): follow the data sheet.
Precautions: Mix well before using this product. Add to the formulation in the cool phase at 40 °C/104 °F or below; glycols and glycerin should not exceed 10 % of the formulation. Ethanol and isopropanol concentrations should not exceed 2 %, and the final product pH should be between 5.0 and 8.0.
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.
