Question

What are the mixing instructions for water-soluble CycloSorb™ Clear, and if a formula contains Cera-Flux V (which includes Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol), is it necessary or advisable to add additional amounts of separate Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol?

Answer

Instructions for Mixing CycloSorb™ Clear and Using Cera-Flux V

CycloSorb™ Clear (Water-Soluble)

Based on the product information, CycloSorb™ Clear is a water-soluble powder. The general mixing method is to dissolve it in the water phase of your formulation. However, specific detailed mixing steps are not provided in the product description.

Cera-Flux V and Additional Ingredients

Cera-Flux V is a complex ingredient that already contains Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Phytosphingosine (0.5%), and Cholesterol (0.5%) within its composition.

If your formula is already using Cera-Flux V, which includes Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol as components, adding additional separate Phytosphosphingosine and Cholesterol may not always be necessary and could potentially affect the balance of the Cera-Flux V complex.

You can consider the amount of Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol provided by Cera-Flux V (which contains 0.5% of each) when calculating the total amount of these ingredients in your formula, especially if you aim to control a specific total concentration or ratio.

Cera-Flux V is recommended to be mixed in the final step of the formulation and can withstand heat up to 80 degrees Celsius, which is consistent with adding certain ingredients towards the end of the formulation process.
