How to Use Starphere F5-YE34Q10 in Your Formulations

Understanding Starphere F5-YE34Q10

Starphere F5-YE34Q10 is a visually striking delivery system that encapsulates Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) in vibrant yellow, starch-based beads. Think of these as tiny protective capsules that keep the active stable in your formula and release it right when the product is applied to the skin. The beads provide both a premium look in the package and a satisfying burst-on-application experience.

Technically, the system is built on a biodegradable matrix of mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and corn starch, with hydrogenated lecithin aiding dispersion and release. The active, Ubiquinone (CoQ10), is a well-known antioxidant that helps defend against environmental stressors for a more energized, youthful-looking complexion. With a particle size of 600–850 μm, the beads remain clearly visible in gels and creams, adding a distinctive, high-end visual impact to your product.

Formulation Tips

Recommended usage is 0.5% to 3% of the total formula. Use the lower end for a subtle speckled look and light antioxidant touch; increase the level for stronger visual impact and a higher dose of CoQ10 per application.

Always add Starphere F5-YE34Q10 during cool-down once your base is below 40 °C (104 °F). Incorporate with gentle stirring to avoid bead breakage. Choose bases with sufficient viscosity (creams, gels, thicker serums) or include a suitable rheology modifier to help suspend the beads evenly and prevent settling over time.
