Singlet state quencher That can help increase the stability for Preservatives that easily deteriorate when exposed to UV light, such as Avobenzone, and prolong the life of active substances that are prone to UV exposure, such as Resveratrol, Retinal, Retinyl Palmirate, CoQ10 and others.

ProtecTM SQ Is Singlet state quencher with high efficiency Can help increase the stability of Preservatives that easily deteriorate when exposed to UV light, such as Avobenzone, and prolong the life of active substances that are prone to UV exposure, such as Resveratrol, Retinal, Retinyl Palmirate, CoQ10 and others.

ProtecTM SQ is suitable for use in conjunction with ProtecTM OX, ProtecTM UV to help fully protect / extend formula life.

Further explanation on Singlet State Oxygen which induces the oxidation of ingredients in formulations.

Experimental results with the protection of various ingredients in the formula. When it is used ProtecTM SQ / No ProtecTM SQ before / after UV exposure to induce Singlet State Oxygen / Oxidation.

Warning: ProtecTM SQ is dark yellow. Using high doses often inevitably turns the formula yellow. Although it protects the formula from deterioration well.

The company sells substances that help protect the ingredients in the formulation. From quality deterioration as follows

1. Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) Can help protect ingredients From deterioration Due to oxidation processes (free radicals) Advantages : The substance (Vitamin E) itself has a long life. Disadvantage : The efficiency is lower than other types.

2. Vitamin E (dl-alpha Tocopherol) Can help protect ingredients From deterioration Due to oxidation processes (free radicals) Advantages : The substance (Vitamin E) itself has a shorter life than other types. Disadvantage : Moderate efficiency, which is higher than the type of Vitamin E Tocopheryl Acetate

3. Rosemary Oleoresin Extract   Can help protect ingredients From deterioration Due to oxidation processes (free radicals) Advantages : High efficiency Especially when used in conjunction with Vitamin E Disadvantage : Has a dark color, has a smell, a high price

4. ProtecTM OX Can help protect ingredients From deterioration Due to oxidation processes (free radicals) Advantages : Most effective Disadvantage : It is a synthetic chemical. (Not caused by nature like 1,2,3)

5. ProtecTM UV Can help protect ingredients From deterioration due to UV light Advantages : Most effective Disadvantage : It is a synthetic chemical.

6. ProtecTM SQ Can help protect ingredients By acting as a Singlet state quencher, reducing oxidation in the formula. Advantages : Good performance Disadvantage : Has a dark yellow color

7. ActiveProtecTM UV It protects the formula from UV. It can dissolve directly in water. Therefore easy to use Add it to the water recipe and blend to dissolve immediately. Suitable for products that need to be packaged in transparent bottles.

8. ActiveProtecTM OX It protects the formula from oxidation. Can be dissolved in water directly Therefore easy to use Add it to the water recipe and blend to dissolve immediately. Suitable for formulas with discoloration problems, especially the whitening formula.

Usage: For mixing any formula That want to protect from deterioration from UV light

Mixing method: Mix in oil

Rate of use:   2-5% (2-3% for protecting sunscreen such as Avobenzone from deterioration after UV exposure, 3-5% for protecting active ingredients like Resveratrol, Retinal from deterioration when exposed to UV light)

Product characteristics: water It's yellow

Solubility: Can dissolve in oil

Storage: Can be stored at room temperature But close the bottle tightly And sealed from direct sunlight or heat, the product is at least 2 years old
