How to Use as an Emulsifier in your formulations
1. Concentration: Typically used at 1-5% of the total formulation, depending on the specific application and desired effect.
2. Incorporation: - Add Soldoc PG410 to the oil phase of your formulation. - Heat both the oil and water phases to about 70-75C (158-167F). - Slowly add the water phase to the oil phase while stirring continuously. - Homogenize the mixture using a high-shear mixer for optimal emulsion stability.
3. pH Range: Effective in a wide pH range, typically 3-12, making it versatile for various formulations.
4. Compatibility: Works well with most cosmetic ingredients, including other emulsifiers, oils, and active ingredients.
5. Cold Processing: Can be used in cold-process formulations, making it energy-efficient and suitable for heat-sensitive ingredients.
6. Synergy: Often combined with co-emulsifiers or thickeners for enhanced stability and texture.
Tips for Formulators:- Start with lower concentrations and adjust as needed for optimal stability and texture.- Perform stability testing at various temperatures to ensure the emulsion remains stable over time.- For extra stability in challenging formulations, consider combining with a small amount of a co-emulsifier.
