Question

I have formulated an essence containing Rosa Hybrid Cell Extract (Product ID 1137). When I store the finished essence product in a cool place at 18°C, precipitation occurs. The raw material information states it is water-soluble. Why is this happening in my new formula?

Answer

Addressing Precipitation in Essence with Rosa Hybrid Cell Extract

You are experiencing precipitation in your essence formulation containing Rosa Hybrid Cell Extract (Product ID 1137) when stored at 18°C.

Based on the product information for Rosa Hybrid Cell Extract (HybridCell™):

  • Recommended Long-Term Storage: Store in a cool place at 4°C - 8°C.
  • Solubility: Can dissolve in water.
  • Appearance: Clear liquid.

Storing the essence at 18°C is warmer than the recommended storage temperature for the raw material (4°C - 8°C). This higher temperature could reduce the solubility or stability of the Rosa Hybrid Cell Extract within the formulation, leading to the observed precipitation.

Additionally, the overall composition of your essence can significantly impact the stability of individual ingredients. Even if the Rosa Hybrid Cell Extract is the same, changes in other components of the formula could affect its behavior at different temperatures.

It is good that you are working with the MySkinRecipes staff and providing your order details (for lot checking) and the full formulation. This will help them pinpoint whether the issue is related to the specific batch of the ingredient or interactions within the new formula.

For future formulations using this ingredient, ensuring the final product's storage conditions align with the ingredient's recommended storage temperature (4°C - 8°C for long-term stability) is advisable to prevent precipitation.
