Buyers from cosmetic labs appreciate the precise dosing this small pack enables during initial development stages.
Handling and solubility parameters
Introduce the powder at temperatures up to 40 °C into the aqueous phase at pH 5-5.5. Always strain the solution to remove undissolved particles. The material remains stable during storage in sealed containers away from light. B2B buyers appreciate the consistent quality across small test lots prior to larger production runs. The neutral odor profile makes it suitable for fragrance-free lines as well.
Example toner formulation for B2B testing
Distilled water 85%, glycerin 5%, Vitamin B3 Powder 1%, panthenol 3%, green tea extract 3%, preservative 1%, fragrance 2%.
