Versatile Applications and Areas of Use in Cosmetics:

Carob Light Valyen™ presents a multitude of opportunities for creating innovative and effective cosmetic products:

• Natural Thickeners and Stabilizers: Its natural polysaccharide content allows Carob Light Valyen™ to function as an effective thickener and stabilizer in emulsions, creams, lotions, and gels, contributing to a desirable texture and preventing separation.
• Exfoliants and Gentle Abrasives: The fine particle size of Carob Light Valyen™ makes it a gentle yet effective natural exfoliant in facial and body scrubs. It aids in the removal of dead skin cells, promoting smoother, brighter skin without harshness.
• Natural Colorants and Tinting Agents: While lighter than traditional carob powder, Carob Light Valyen™ can still impart a subtle, warm tone to certain formulations, offering a natural alternative to synthetic colorants, particularly in earthy or beige-toned products.

Application and Storage Recommendations:

• When using Carob Light Valyen™ as a thickener, gradually incorporate it into the water phase of your formulation, ensuring thorough mixing to prevent clumping. Heat may be required for optimal hydration in some formulations.
• For exfoliating applications, adjust the concentration of Carob Light Valyen™ based on the desired level of exfoliation and the sensitivity of the skin the product is intended for.
• Store Carob Light Valyen™ in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in a tightly sealed container to maintain its quality and prevent clumping.
• When formulating with natural ingredients, it is always recommended to conduct stability testing to ensure the longevity and integrity of your final product.
• Perform a patch test of any new cosmetic formulation on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for potential allergic reactions or sensitivities.
