Packaging for Products Containing Phenylethyl Resorcinol (Sym-White™)

Regarding your question about using clear glass packaging for products containing Phenylethyl Resorcinol (equivalent to Sym-White™), the recommendation to store the finished product in packaging that protects from light and air is important for maintaining the stability and effectiveness of the ingredient.

• Effect of Clear Glass: Clear glass packaging does not protect the product from light exposure. Phenylethyl Resorcinol is sensitive to light, and exposure can lead to its degradation over time. Therefore, using a clear glass bottle will likely have a negative impact on the stability and shelf life of the product.

• Recommended Packaging: To ensure the best stability for formulations containing Phenylethyl Resorcinol, it is highly recommended to use packaging that blocks light. This includes opaque containers (like solid colored plastic or glass) or amber glass bottles.

• Using Clear Glass (with precautions): If you still wish to use clear glass packaging, it is very difficult to completely prevent light-induced degradation. While storing the product in a dark place (like a box or cabinet) when not in use can help, it does not offer full protection during handling or display. There are no additives that can fully compensate for the lack of light protection from clear packaging for this specific ingredient.

In summary, for optimal stability of your product with Phenylethyl Resorcinol, choose packaging that effectively blocks light and air.
