How to Use SP-RA5-OR7585SAE in Your Formulations
Understanding SP-RA5-OR7585SAE
These vibrant orange pearls are a multi-sensory delivery system designed to add both dramatic visual appeal and functional benefits to your products. Think of them as tiny bubbles of active ingredients, ready to pop. Their primary job is to create an unforgettable user experience. When your customer sees these large, beautiful pearls suspended in a product, it signals a premium, high-performance formula. When they apply it, the pearls gently burst, releasing a soothing and hydrating serum onto the skin.
At 7.5–8.5 mm, these are exceptionally large pearls, ideal for products where you want a bold, impossible-to-miss visual effect. The gel structure is created with Agar (a seaweed-derived polysaccharide) and is loaded with two key skin-loving ingredients: Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5) to moisturize and soothe, and Beta‑Glucan to provide deep hydration and support the skin’s natural barrier.
Formulation Tips
Usage Rate: 0.5% to 3% of total formula. Start around 1% for a noticeable effect and adjust based on desired visual density.
When to Add: Always incorporate during the cool-down phase, below 40 °C (104 °F). High heat will melt the pearls. Use gentle stirring to disperse; high shear is not necessary.
Suspension is Key: Due to their large size and density, these pearls require a high-viscosity base to stay suspended. They are not suited to thin, watery lotions or serums. Use robust gelling/thickening systems (e.g., carbomer, xanthan gum, or acrylates copolymers) to create a network that holds the pearls evenly without sinking.
Preservation: The pearls are pre-preserved, but your final formulation still needs an appropriate broad-spectrum preservative system.
