How to Use SP-RA4-GR3545A in Your Formulations
Understanding SP-RA4-GR3545A
SP-RA4-GR3545A pearls are a unique delivery system designed to add both powerful visual appeal and functional performance to your cosmetic products. Think of them as tiny, soft bubbles that hold beneficial ingredients inside. Made from a natural gel material (Agar), these large, jade green pearls are suspended in your formula, creating an eye-catching, premium look. When the user applies the product, gentle pressure causes the pearls to break, releasing a dose of skin-soothing actives like Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5) and Beta‑Glucan directly onto the skin. This provides a delightful sensory experience and boosts your product’s performance.
Formulation Tips
Add SP-RA4-GR3545A during the cool-down phase when your formula is below 40 °C (104 °F) to protect the pearl structure. Because of their large size (3.5–4.5 mm), these pearls need a sufficiently viscous base to remain evenly suspended. Build a gel or rich emulsion structure (e.g., with carbomer, acrylate copolymers, or natural gums) to prevent settling. Typical usage: 0.5%–3% depending on the visual density you want.
Incorporate by gently folding or stirring at low shear to avoid rupturing the pearls. Avoid high heat and homogenization at this step. The slurry is pre-preserved; still protect your overall formulation with a suitable broad-spectrum preservative system.
