How to Use EP-RL2-WH1525 in Your Formulations
Understanding EP-RL2-WH1525
Think of EP-RL2-WH1525 as a complete “cream-in-a-pearl.” Each visible, creamy white sphere is a self-contained, soft gel capsule holding a fully formed moisturizing lotion. Suspended in a clear gel or serum, these pearls deliver striking visual appeal. Upon application, they burst with gentle pressure, releasing the rich inner cream and transforming the texture from light and simple to rich and luxurious.
For the advanced formulator, this is an agar-encapsulated oil-in-water emulsion. The pearl structure contains a sophisticated blend of emollients (such as Shea Butter and silicones), humectants (Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, and Trehalose), and a complete emulsifier system. The large 1.5–2.5 mm particle size ensures dramatic visual impact and a satisfying burst sensation, delivering a fresh dose of moisture with every use.
Formulation Tips
Usage Rate: Use 0.5% to 3%. Start around 1% for a subtle visual and sensory effect; increase to 3% for dense, high-impact pearl loading.
Processing: Always add during the final cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F). High heat will soften or melt the agar shell. Use gentle, slow mixing to disperse evenly without breaking the pearls.
Suspension is Key: Due to their size, pearls will settle in low-viscosity bases. Build a gel network using a suspending agent or thickener (e.g., carbomer or natural gums like Xanthan) to hold pearls in place.
Preservation: While the pearls are preserved, the surrounding base requires its own broad-spectrum preservative system to ensure safety and stability.
