How to Use SP-RA5-GO7585 in Your Formulations
Understanding SP-RA5-GO7585
SP-RA5-GO7585 is a functional and aesthetic ingredient that adds a true “wow” factor to your products. Think of these as extra-large, soft gel pearls filled with skin-loving ingredients. Suspended in your base, they create a striking, jewel-like appearance. When massaged onto the skin, the pearls gently burst, releasing a supplemental dose of Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5) and Beta‑Glucan known for their hydrating and soothing properties.
For the technical formulator, these are agar-based hydrogel pearls. Agar (a natural polysaccharide from seaweed) forms a stable, soft capsule that encapsulates a blend of humectants and actives. Their unusually large 7.0–8.0 mm diameter is ideal for visually dramatic formulas where the pearls themselves are part of the product story and user experience.
Formulation Tips
Creating stunning products with these pearls is straightforward when you account for their size and handling needs. The right base viscosity is essential to keep them perfectly suspended and showcase their golden color.
- Usage Rate: Use 0.5%–3% by weight. Start at ~1% for noticeable visual density and adjust as desired.
- When to Add: Incorporate only during the cool-down phase when the batch is below 40 °C (104 °F) to avoid melting the agar pearls.
- How to Add: Gently fold into the finished, cooled base. Avoid high-shear mixing; use slow, gentle stirring or a low-speed paddle to prevent damage.
- Suspension is Key: Build sufficient viscosity so pearls neither settle nor float. Clear, thick gels, high-viscosity serums, or rich creams work best. Utilize rheology modifiers (e.g., carbomers, xanthan gum, or other polymers) to achieve stable suspension.
