How to Use Starphere T5-JA34CA10N in Your Formulations

Understanding Starphere T5-JA34CA10N

Starphere T5-JA34CA10N is more than a visual effect—it’s a targeted delivery system for oral care. These jade-green beads act like tiny capsules that protect a potent trio of cooling agents. In toothpastes and mouthwashes, the beads remain suspended, signaling a fresh, high-tech experience. During brushing, gentle mechanical action crushes the beads to release an intense, multi-layered cooling burst that standard flavor oils can’t replicate.

For formulators, Starphere T5-JA34CA10N addresses a key challenge: delivering a strong sensory payoff precisely at the moment of use. Encapsulation safeguards the cooling agents within the formula, preserving impact over shelf life. The result is a product that looks premium and consistently delivers a memorable, long-lasting fresh sensation from first use to last.

Formulation Tips

Usage Rate: 0.5% to 2% as supplied. Start at ~0.5% for subtle visual and sensory impact; increase to ~2% for a bold appearance and powerful cooling burst.

Processing: Add Starphere T5-JA34CA10N at the final stage after the base is complete and cooled (cool-down). Disperse using slow, gentle mixing to avoid premature bead breakage. Avoid high-shear mixing.

Compatibility: Engineered for common oral care systems with humectants (e.g., sorbitol, glycerin), thickeners (e.g., xanthan gum, silica), and surfactants (e.g., SLS). Beads are designed to rupture with brushing force, not via chemical reaction.

Key Performance Benefits

  • Intense, Multi-Layered Cooling: Encapsulates Menthyl Lactate, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, and Ethyl Menthane Carboxamide for immediate and long-lasting freshness.
  • Engaging Visual Appeal: 600–850 μm jade-green beads create a striking cue of freshness and advanced technology in clear and gel bases.
  • Sensory Burst on Brushing: Soft beads crush easily during brushing to release cooling actives and enhance the perception of a deep clean.
  • Biodegradable & Microplastic-Free: Starch- and cellulose-based matrix provides an eco-friendly alternative to plastic microbeads.
  • Optimized for Oral Care: Non-abrasive particle size and stability in typical high-water-activity systems like toothpaste and mouthwash.
