Question
Regarding Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate):
- Can this ingredient be heated during the formulation process?
- If so, what is the recommended method for incorporating it, especially in formulations that require heating the oil phase to melt ingredients like wax?
Answer
Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) Heat Stability
Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) has good heat resistance and high stability, allowing it to be heated for a short time during the formulation process.
When incorporating Perfect-C™ into an oil phase that requires heating to melt ingredients like wax, the recommended method is as follows:
- Gently heat the oil phase containing the wax until the wax is just melted. Use only the necessary amount of heat.
- Once the wax is melted, add the Perfect-C™ to the melted oil phase.
This approach minimizes the exposure of Perfect-C™ to heat while ensuring it is properly incorporated into the oil phase.
