Cosmetic Formulation Recipe: Lightweight Hydrating Facial Lotion

Instructions:

1. In a heat-resistant beaker, combine the water and glycerin (water phase). Heat to 70-75°C.
2. In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine the Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, SIMULGREEN 18-2, and Jojoba Oil (oil phase). Heat to 70-75°C until SIMULGREEN 18-2 is fully melted and dispersed.
3. Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously mixing with a homogenizer or high-shear mixer until a uniform emulsion forms.
4. Continue mixing while allowing the emulsion to cool down to room temperature.
5. Once cooled below 40°C, add the Sodium Hyaluronate solution, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopherol, and fragrance (if used). Mix gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Adjust the pH if necessary.
7. Transfer the finished lotion to a clean container.

Application Recommendations:

• Incorporate SIMULGREEN 18-2 at the recommended usage level of 2.0% to 5.0% depending on the desired viscosity and oil phase concentration.
• It is typically added to the oil phase and requires heating to melt for proper emulsification.
• Good homogenization is crucial for achieving a stable and fine emulsion.
• SIMULGREEN 18-2 is compatible with a wide pH range, typically between 3.0 and 8.0.
• It can be used in both hot and cold process emulsions. For cold process, pre-dispersion in a small amount of oil phase may be beneficial.
• The stability of the final formulation should always be tested under various storage conditions.
• Consider the specific requirements of your formulation (e.g., oil phase percentage, desired viscosity) when determining the optimal usage level of SIMULGREEN 18-2.
