Cera-Flux VX (Water Dispersible Ceramide Complex, 5 Types) is designed for ease of use in various formulations. Regarding your questions about temperature:

Ideal Temperature for Incorporation

The ideal temperature depends on your specific formula goals:

• Standard Emulsions/Gels: It is typically added during the final step (cool-down phase). While it can withstand heat up to 80°C, it is perfectly fine and often recommended to incorporate it at temperatures below 40°C to ensure the stability of other heat-sensitive ingredients in your formula.
• Clear Formulations: If you are aiming for a transparent or clear formula, using heat during the mixing process can help achieve better clarity and integration.

Incorporation Below 40°C

Yes, you can certainly incorporate it at a temperature below 40°C. Since the product is supplied as a thick cream gel that is water-dispersible, it can be blended into your base during the final stage of production without requiring high heat.

Key Usage Tips:

• Usage Rate: 1-15% (Recommended at 5%).
• Mixing: Add to the final step and stir until homogeneous.
• Storage: The raw material should be stored in a refrigerator (6°C - 8°C). It is also recommended to store the finished cosmetic product in a cool place or refrigerator to maintain the stability of the ceramides.
