Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE BABA-S

How This Botanical Complex Prevents Browning

AccessCARE BABA-S leverages a synergistic blend of three powerful antioxidant extracts to function as a highly effective anti-browning agent. The primary cause of browning in cosmetic formulas is the oxidation of sensitive ingredients, such as natural extracts, vitamins, and certain colorants. This blend works by introducing a high concentration of potent radical scavengers—namely sulforaphane from Broccoli, curcuminoids from Turmeric, and baicalin from Scutellaria Baicalensis. These compounds intercept and neutralize oxidative species before they can attack and degrade other ingredients in the formula. By sacrificing themselves, these antioxidants preserve the product’s original color, aroma, and efficacy, significantly enhancing its shelf stability.

Formulation Guidelines and Technical Advantages

AccessCARE BABA-S is a water-soluble liquid that is easy to incorporate into the water phase of emulsions or aqueous systems. For best results, add it during the cool-down phase of your formulation process (below 40 °C) to protect the thermal stability of its active compounds. Its primary application is as a formula stabilizer at low concentrations (0.5–3%). It is an excellent choice for any product containing ingredients susceptible to oxidation. Beyond its stabilizing function, the blend contributes valuable skin benefits, including antioxidant protection and soothing properties, which can be highlighted as secondary product claims. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients.
