How to Use EP-RL4-WH2535SD in Your Formulations
Understanding EP-RL4-WH2535SD Emulsion Pearls
Think of EP-RL4-WH2535SD as miniature “lotion bombs” suspended in your product. These are not just simple beads; each large, pearly-white sphere is a complete, pre-made oil-in-water emulsion. When a customer applies your product, these pearls burst with gentle pressure, releasing a fresh dose of a moisturizing cream packed with beneficial ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, and Panthenol.
This delivery system serves two key purposes for formulators. First, it adds a dramatic visual appeal that makes products look incredibly premium and sophisticated. Second, it creates a unique and satisfying sensory experience, transforming a simple application into an engaging ritual. The burst of the pearl signals the release of active ingredients, enhancing the user’s perception of the product’s effectiveness.
Formulation Tips
The key to working with these pearls is ensuring they remain intact in your product until the user applies them. Their large size (2.5–3.5 mm) requires a formula with enough thickness, or viscosity, to keep them evenly suspended.
- Usage Rate: A typical usage rate is between 0.5% and 3%. Start with 0.5–1% for a subtle effect, or increase to 2–3% for a dense, visually impactful look.
- Incorporation: Always add the pearls during the final step of formulation, in the cool-down phase, when the product is below 40°C (104°F). Adding them to a hot mixture or mixing too aggressively will cause them to break. Gently fold the pearls into your finished cream, lotion, or gel until they are evenly distributed.
- Suspension: These pearls are best suited for thicker product bases like gels, heavy serums, or creams. To suspend them effectively in thinner formulas, use a rheology modifier (e.g., carbomer or natural gum) capable of creating a suspending gel structure.
- Preservation: While the pearls contain a preservative system, your final formula must be adequately preserved on its own to ensure overall product safety and stability.
