Question

Regarding Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate):

  1. Can this ingredient be heated during the formulation process?
  2. 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:

  1. Gently heat the oil phase containing the wax until the wax is just melted. Use only the necessary amount of heat.
  2. 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.
