Description and Key Features

Hydrolyzed Rocket Leaves (INCI: Eruca sativa, Hydrolyzed rocket leaves) is a meticulously crafted liquid extract derived from rocket (arugula) leaves. Its characteristic straw-colored appearance and liquid form make it easy to incorporate into various cosmetic formulations. The key to its efficacy lies in its rich profile of beneficial compounds, particularly glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, which are known for their strong antioxidant and protective properties. With a pH range of 2.6 – 3.5, it's ideal for formulations that benefit from a slightly acidic environment, helping to maintain the skin's natural barrier. This ingredient's complete solubility in water at any concentration ensures seamless integration into aqueous phases of cosmetic products, preventing stability issues.

Cosmetic Recipe: Anti-Pollution & Brightening Facial Toner

Create a refreshing and protective facial toner with Hydrolyzed Rocket Leaves, designed to brighten skin and shield it from environmental stressors.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, bottles, etc.) is thoroughly sanitized with isopropyl alcohol or a suitable sanitizing solution.
2. Phase A: In a clean beaker, combine the distilled water, glycerin, and propanediol. Stir gently until all components are well mixed.
3. Phase B: Add the Hydrolyzed Rocket Leaves and Niacinamide to Phase A. Stir continuously until all powders are fully dissolved and the mixture is clear.
4. Phase C: Add your chosen preservative to the mixture and stir thoroughly for several minutes to ensure even distribution.
5. pH Adjustment: Check the pH of the toner using a pH meter or pH strips. The ideal pH for this toner is between 4.5 and 5.5. If the pH is too high, add a very small amount of Lactic Acid drop by drop, stirring well after each addition, until the desired pH is reached.
6. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished toner into your chosen bottle (e.g., a spray bottle or a bottle with a dispenser cap).
7. Labeling: Label your bottle with the product name, ingredients, and preparation date.

Recommendations for Use:

• Incorporation: Hydrolyzed Rocket Leaves should be added to the aqueous phase of your formulations, preferably during the cooling phase if heat is involved in other steps, or simply at room temperature for cold-process formulations. Its complete water solubility makes it easy to integrate.
• Dosage: Adhere to the recommended usage percentages for specific product types (e.g., 2.5-3.5% for whitening, 1% for toners). Adjust based on desired efficacy and product type, but always stay within the recommended ranges to ensure optimal performance and safety.
• pH Considerations: While the ingredient itself has an acidic pH (2.6-3.5), it's crucial to adjust the final product's pH to suit the skin's natural pH (typically 4.5-5.5) for optimal efficacy and skin compatibility.
• Stability Testing: Always perform stability testing on your final product to ensure the integrity of the formulation over time, especially when introducing new active ingredients.
• Storage: Store Hydrolyzed Rocket Leaves in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This ensures its longevity and maintains its active properties.
• Compatibility: While generally compatible, always check for potential interactions with highly reactive ingredients in your formulation to ensure stability and efficacy.
