Water-Based Trans-Resveratrol and Astaxanthin
Yes, MySkinRecipes offers Trans-Resveratrol and Astaxanthin products suitable for water-based formulations.

We have ActiveRelease™ Trans-Resveratrol (10% Water Soluble Powder). This is a powder form specifically designed to dissolve in water, making it suitable for water-based cosmetic formulas. It should be added in the last step of your formulation, avoiding heat. The recommended usage rate is 1-3%. It requires storage in the refrigerator (5-10°C) away from light and air.For Astaxanthin:
We have two options suitable for water-based systems:- Astaxanthin (2.0% Algae Extract, Water Dispersed Powder): This is a powder that can be dispersed in water. It should be mixed in the final step below 40°C. The usage rate is 0.1-1%. It also requires refrigeration for long-term storage.
- Astaxanthin Liquid (Stabilized, Crystal Clear): This is a clear, water-soluble liquid form. It is stable and designed for cosmetic formulas, providing antioxidant properties and a red color. Mix it in the final step below 40°C. The recommended usage rate is 0.1-5%. For maximum stability, the final formulation should have a pH between 4.0-4.5. Store in the refrigerator for long-term storage.
Both ingredients are known for their antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
