a:10:{s:2:"id";s:2:"17";s:12:"cms_headline";s:5:"FAQ's";s:7:"content";s:4418:"<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Patented oleosomes are all-natural, powerful emulsifiers with proven delivery systems in personal care.&nbsp; The following information is meant to <i>guide </i>and provide a general approach to formulators in using Hydresia&reg; ingredients (Dulce, SF2, G2).&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Getting Started with Hydresia&reg;</b></span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>Viscosity: </i>When using Hydresia&reg; as a primary emulsifier, include thickeners to ensure the viscosity of the finished formulation is over 9000 cps (spindle 2) for optimal stability.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>Shear:</i> Limit shear to &lt;500 rpm when adding oil phase ingredients to concentrated Oleosomes. Once the water phase is added, in-line homogenization up to 3000 rpm is fine.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>Temperature: </i>Temperatures of up to 55&deg;C is acceptable for all Hydresia&reg; products. Temperatures of 80&deg;C are acceptable for up to one hour for Hydresia&reg; Dulc&eacute;, SF2, G1 and G2. Oleosomes are stable in freeze/thaw states in most formulations; however, the raw material should not be frozen.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>pH:</i> Hydresia&reg; G2, SF2, and Dulc&eacute; can be formulated from pH 3.5-9.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>Alcohol:</i> Use Hydresia&reg; SF2 for high alcohol content formulations.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>Surfactants:</i> Most surfactant systems are compatible however avoid harsh anionics (e.g. SLS).&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>Preservatives:</i> Most preservatives are compatible however avoid protein cross-linkers (e.g., DMDM hydantoin).&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>Emulsification:</i> Oleosomes have an HLB range of 5-15, with an optimal range of 8-13.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>How to load Hydresia&reg;&nbsp;</b></span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Load actives, fragrances, vitamins or other oil soluble actives, into the core of the oleosomes for improved efficacy, and delayed release of the active on the skin over an extended period of time.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p5"><span class="s1"><b>Recommended ingredients</b>: Hydresia&reg;SF2<br />
<b>Typical use levels:</b> 1-5% for most formulations<br />
<b>Tips:</b> Loading is completed in your lab.&nbsp; Generic procedure is to pre-mix your oil soluble active with Oleosomes under 400 rpm for up to one hour at a ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 (Hydresia:active).&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p5"><span class="s1">Once loading has taken place, you will see a homogenous mixture. Add this immediately to your emulsion. For an even more delayed release, add some glycerine after the pre-mix.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>How to use Hydresia&reg; as a primary emulsifier in Natural/Organic Formulations</b></span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1">The result and core advantage is an &lsquo;emulsifier free&rsquo; natural and mild skincare product with superior aesthetics.</span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<b>Recommended Ingredient:</b> Hydresia&reg; SF2</span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<b>Typical use levels: </b>3-7% for most formuations</span></p>

<p class="p5"><span class="s1"><b>Tips: </b>Use thickeners to increase viscosity of water and oil phase. Limit homogenization to minutes.&nbsp; Add water phase incrementally (10% at a time) to prepared oil phase.</span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>How to use Hydresia&reg; in Surfactant Systems</b></span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1">The result and core advantage is a difference you can feel on your skin and light emulsification for improved stability.</span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<b>Recommended ingredients:</b> Hydresia&reg; G2 / Hydresia&reg; Dulce</span></p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s1">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<b>Typical use levels:</b> 3-8% for most formulations</span></p>

<p class="p5"><span class="s1"><b>Tips:</b> Use mild surfactant systems (betaines, glucosides, SLES) or structured surfactants. Premix with your fragrance for solubilization, without requiring any synthetic emulsifiers (PEG, Polysorbate)</span></p>";s:11:"style_class";s:1:"0";s:10:"cms_active";s:1:"1";s:11:"cms_deleted";s:1:"0";s:9:"cms_draft";s:1:"0";s:11:"cms_created";s:19:"2015-08-28 15:19:49";s:12:"cms_modified";s:19:"2015-08-28 15:19:49";s:20:"cms_modified_by_user";s:1:"7";}
