How to Use Starphere N5-RG904 in Your Formulations

Understanding Starphere N5-RG904

Starphere N5-RG904 is a simple yet powerful exfoliating ingredient made from 100% pure Panax Ginseng Root. Think of it as a two-in-one: a natural, gentle scrub that physically buffs away dull, dead skin cells while delivering the skin-revitalizing reputation of red ginseng. It instantly helps skin feel smoother and look brighter without harshness.

For experienced formulators, Starphere N5-RG904 combines the functional benefits of a biodegradable physical exfoliant with the cosmetic properties of red ginseng. During massage, the granules provide controlled exfoliation and simultaneously release naturally occurring ginsenosides and other phytochemicals, offering antioxidant, conditioning, and revitalizing benefits to support a healthier-looking skin barrier.

Formulation Tips

Recommended usage is 1–5%, depending on exfoliation intensity. For gentle facial cleansers and scrubs, start at 1–2%. For more robust body or scalp treatments, use up to 5%.

Add Starphere N5-RG904 during the cool-down phase (below 40°C / 104°F) or disperse into a finished, high-viscosity base (creams, gels, or butters) to prevent settling. For optimal suspension, pair with suitable rheology modifiers (e.g., carbomers, acrylates/C10-30 crosspolymers, xanthan) and ensure adequate yield value. The refined 150–600 μm particle size is calibrated to be effective yet gentle for face and versatile enough for body and scalp applications.
