How to Use SP-RA5-GR7585 in Your Formulations
Understanding SP-RA5-GR7585
SP-RA5-GR7585 is a multi-sensory delivery system designed to make your products look as good as they feel. These are extra-large, vibrant green pearls made from a soft agar gel (derived from seaweed) that burst under gentle pressure during application. At 7.5–8.5 mm in diameter, they create an immediate impression of luxury and potency while releasing a functional dose of Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5) and Beta‑Glucan to hydrate and soothe skin.
For the technical formulator, SP-RA5-GR7585 are pre-formed hydrogel spheres composed primarily of water, humectants, and agar as the gelling polymer. The spheres encapsulate an active internal phase featuring Panthenol and Beta‑Glucan for targeted release via mechanical friction. Pigmentation with cosmetic-grade colorants provides the striking green tone, while the system remains stable across a typical cosmetic pH of 5.0–7.5.
Formulation Tips
- Usage Rate: 0.5–5% depending on visual density; start at 1–2% for a pronounced yet elegant look.
- When to Add: ALWAYS add during cool-down below 40°C (104°F). Elevated temperatures will soften or melt the agar matrix.
- Mixing: Employ slow, gentle stirring to disperse. Avoid high shear (stick blenders, rotor-stators) to prevent breakage.
- Suspension: The large size/density requires a sufficiently viscous base. Use rheology modifiers (e.g., carbomers, Xanthan Gum, Sclerotium Gum, or compatible polymeric thickeners) to suspend pearls in clear gels or thick serums.
- pH Window: Pearl structure is stable from pH 5.0 to 7.5.
Key Performance Benefits
- Dramatic Visual Impact: Extra-large 7.5–8.5 mm pearls and vivid green color elevate perceived value and shelf appeal.
- Engaging Sensory Experience: Satisfying burst-on-application transforms routine use into a memorable, interactive moment.
- Targeted Active Delivery: Releases Panthenol and Beta‑Glucan on contact to help hydrate, soothe, and calm skin.
- Premium Differentiation: Ideal for luxury masks, spa treatments, and statement serums that stand out in a crowded market.
- Easy Integration: Simply fold into a finished, cool base with gentle stirring for an instant upgrade.
