Recommended input ranges from 0,05 % in facial mists to 1 % in intensive balms. The complex dissolves in polysorbate-80, carrier oils or triglycerides below 40 °C. It remains stable across pH values typical for leave-on cosmetics and does not alter emulsion viscosity at standard use levels.

In B2B production the same percentages apply whether the final product targets retail or professional use. Extracts Wholesale provides consistent supply for scaling production.
