Question

When using LecithinGel™ at its recommended usage rates (1-3%), what is the maximum percentage of oil and water that can be incorporated into the formulation?

Answer

Based on the information retrieved for LecithinGel™, here is the usage guidance regarding oil and water:

  • Recommended Usage Rate for LecithinGel™: 1-3% (with 1.5% recommended for general cream/lotion formulations).
  • Maximum Oil Percentage: LecithinGel™ can bind/emulsify up to 20% oil in a formulation, regardless of whether you use 1%, 1.5%, or 3% of LecithinGel™ itself. The description does not specify varying oil capacities for different percentages within the 1-3% range, but rather gives a general maximum oil load the ingredient can handle. The remaining percentage would be the water phase and other ingredients.

Therefore, when using LecithinGel™ at its recommended rates (1-3%), the oil phase should not exceed 20% of the total formulation.
