How to Use Starpearl SP-CS-RA4-WH3545 in Your Formulations

Understanding Starpearl SP-CS-RA4-WH3545

Starpearl SP-CS-RA4-WH3545 are large, soft gel pearls designed to deliver both dramatic visual appeal and functional performance. Think of them as elegant, creamy white spheres filled with Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5), a well-known moisturizer for skin and hair. In the jar or bottle, they create a striking suspended-pearl effect; upon application, they gently burst to release Panthenol, providing a unique, satisfying user experience.

For the technical formulator, these are cellulose-based hydrogel spheres with a substantial particle size of 3.5–4.5 mm. The large format is engineered for high-impact visibility in transparent or translucent systems. Their burst-on-rub mechanism provides a novel way to deliver water-soluble actives like Panthenol, elevating both perceived efficacy and luxury.

Formulation Tips

Usage Rate: Use at 0.5%–3% depending on the visual density desired. Start around 1% for a noticeable effect and increase for a more pearl-dense appearance.

When to Add: Incorporate during the cool-down phase only, when the batch is below 40 °C (104 °F). Elevated temperatures can compromise the cellulose matrix.

How to Mix: Use slow, gentle mixing to disperse evenly. Avoid high-shear equipment, which can rupture pearls prematurely. A spatula or slow paddle mixer is ideal.

Suspension Is Key: Due to their large size, formulas require adequate viscosity to keep pearls suspended. They perform best in gels, thick serums, or gel-creams. If necessary, build structure with rheology modifiers (e.g., carbomer, natural gums).

Preservation: While the pearls are preserved as supplied, any water-based finished product must use a robust, broad-spectrum preservative system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Starpearl SP-CS-RA4-WH3545

They serve two main purposes: they create a luxurious, high-end visual effect, and they act as a delivery system that bursts on rubbing to release Panthenol (a moisturizer) onto skin or hair.

Use 0.5%–3% by weight. Choose the lower end for a subtle look and the higher end for a dense, pearl-packed appearance.

Always add at the very end, during cool-down, when the product is below 40 °C (104 °F). Adding at higher temperatures can damage the pearls.

They stay suspended in adequately thick systems (gels or thickened serums). In thin liquids, they will sink. Use rheology modifiers like xanthan gum or carbomer to build viscosity.

Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5) is a humectant that helps attract and hold moisture. It is known to soothe and hydrate skin and improve hair’s softness, shine, and appearance.

The main difference is visual and sensory impact. These 3.5–4.5 mm pearls are highly visible and deliver a distinct, dramatic burst sensation. Smaller beads (often micrometer scale) provide a subtler look and feel.
