How to Use Starpearl SP-RA5-RE7585 in Your Formulations

Understanding Starpearl SP-RA5-RE7585

Starpearl SP-RA5-RE7585 pearls are a visually dramatic delivery system designed to make your products stand out. Think of them as soft, ruby-red bubbles of gel that hold beneficial skincare ingredients. When you rub the product onto your skin, these pearls gently burst, releasing their contents and creating a unique and luxurious feeling. Their incredibly large size (7.5–8.5 mm) makes them a powerful tool for creating a high-end, premium aesthetic.

For the expert formulator, these are agar-based hydrogel pearls loaded with Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5) and Beta‑Glucan. The system is pre-preserved for ease of use and is specifically engineered to provide a memorable visual and sensory experience. The large particle size requires a formula with sufficient viscosity to ensure the pearls remain evenly suspended.

Formulation Tips

Recommended Usage Rate: Typically use between 0.5% and 3% by weight. A lower concentration (0.5–1%) can add a subtle, decorative touch, while a higher concentration (1–3%) creates a dense, visually saturated effect perfect for statement products.
Processing Instructions: Always add these pearls during the final, cool-down phase of your formulation, when the temperature is below 40 °C (104 °F). High heat will cause the agar-based pearls to melt and dissolve. Stir them in gently to ensure they are evenly distributed without being damaged.
Suspension is Key: Due to their large size and density, these pearls will sink in low-viscosity formulas. To keep them suspended, use an effective suspending agent or rheology modifier. Thickeners like Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, or Acrylates Copolymers help create a gel network that can hold the pearls in place.

Key Performance Benefits

Dramatic Visual Impact: Instantly elevate your product’s appearance with extra-large, vibrant ruby red pearls for a luxurious, sophisticated look.
Multi-Sensory Experience: Pearls remain whole in the package and burst into a smooth liquid upon application, delivering an engaging, memorable user experience.
Active Ingredient Delivery: Each pearl releases soothing Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5) and hydrating Beta‑Glucan directly to the skin at the moment of use.
Statement Particle Size: The massive 7.5–8.5 mm diameter is ideal for clear or translucent gels, serums, and masks where the visual effect can be fully appreciated.
Ready-to-Use System: Pre-preserved and simple to incorporate—just add during cool-down for an instant premium upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions About Starpearl SP-RA5-RE7585 – Ruby Red

They serve two main purposes: first, they create a stunning visual effect, making your product look incredibly luxurious. Second, they act as a delivery system, bursting when applied to the skin to release soothing and hydrating ingredients like Panthenol and Beta-Glucan.

A good starting range is 0.5% to 3% of your total formula weight. Use less for a sprinkle of color and more if you want the pearls to be a dominant feature of your product.

Because these pearls are very large, you need to make your formula thick enough to hold them up. Using a gelling agent like Xanthan Gum or Carbomer will create a network in your product that suspends the pearls evenly.

Always add them at the very end, during the cool-down phase when your product is below 40 °C (104 °F). If you add them when your product is hot, they will melt. Stir them in gently.

Not at all. They are made of a very soft agar gel. They are designed to burst with gentle pressure, leaving no grit or residue—just the smooth feel of the released ingredients.

These pearls contain Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5), which is excellent for soothing and moisturizing the skin, and Beta‑Glucan, a powerful hydrator known for its calming properties.
