<p><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong>Viscosity:</strong> </span>When using <strong>Hydresia<sup>&reg;</sup> Oleosomes </strong>as a primary emulsifier, include thickeners to ensure the viscosity of the finished formulation is over 9000 cps (spindle 2) for optimal stability.</p>

<p><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong>Shear: </strong></span>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.</p>

<p><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong>Temperature: </strong></span>Temperatures of up to 55&deg;C is acceptable for all <strong>Hydresia<sup>&reg;</sup></strong> system products. Temperatures of 80&deg;C are acceptable for up to one hour for <strong>Hydresia<sup>&reg;</sup> DulceÌ, SF2, and G2</strong>. Oleosomes are stable in freeze/thaw states in most formulations; however, the raw material should not be frozen.</p>

<p><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong>pH:</strong> <strong>Hydresia<sup>&reg;</sup> G2, SF2, and Dulc&eacute; </strong>can be formulated from pH 3.5-9.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong>Alcohol:</strong> Use <strong>Hydresia<sup>&reg;</sup> SF2 </strong>for high alcohol content formulations.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong>Surfactants:</strong> Most surfactant systems are compatible, however avoid harsh anionics (e.g. SLS).&nbsp;</span></p>

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

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