Question

Can this ingredient be homogenized in `cold processing` formulations?

Answer

Yes, Bioactive-2FL™ (Fucosyllactose Milk Extract) is highly suitable for cold processing formulations.

In fact, cold processing or low-heat processing is recommended for this ingredient because it is heat-sensitive. According to the product specifications:

  • Temperature Limit: It must not be exposed to heat above 40°C, as high temperatures may degrade the active components.
  • Mixing Method: It should be dissolved in the water phase of your formulation.
  • Homogenization: Since it is a water-soluble powder, you can homogenize it into the water phase at room temperature. Just ensure that the friction from high-speed homogenization does not cause the temperature to exceed 40°C.
  • Compatibility: It can be used in various product types, including gels, serums, lotions, and creams.

Recommended Usage: 0.1-2%
Storage: Store in the refrigerator (4°C - 8°C) to maintain its stability.
