Answer

Adjusting the Texture of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate

Thank you for your question regarding the texture of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.

It is understandable that you find it sticky, especially when used at higher concentrations, as noted in the product information. To address the sticky feeling, you can indeed dilute Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate with water.

  • Dilution with Water: Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is soluble in water, making dilution a suitable method to reduce its viscosity and stickiness.
  • Effect on Quality: Diluting the ingredient with water itself does not reduce the quality or inherent properties of the Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate. The effectiveness of your final product will depend on the concentration of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate in the total formulation after dilution. Using a lower concentration might result in less pronounced effects compared to a higher concentration, but the ingredient's quality is not degraded by simple dilution.

There are two main types of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate available: the standard type (which contains Butylene Glycol) and a Glycol Free, Glycerin Free, Preservative Free version. Both can be diluted with water to achieve a more desirable texture.

By diluting with water, you can customize the texture to your preference while still benefiting from the properties of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.
