- Formulation Guidelines
- Stable up to 85°C
- Best below pH of 7.0
- Minimum of 0.5% of oil phase
- Mineral sunscreens may shift color over time
Technical Details & Test Data
- OSI (Oxidative Stability Index) Testing
Product Performance
Radigard™ shows very effective results in OSI (Oxidative Stability Index) Testing when compared to tocopheryl. Even at lower usage levels than the control and competitor, Radigard™ shows that it can protect the oil phase of formulations better than the industry standard.
- Carnosic Acid Cascade
Carnosic acid is able to successfully be sacrificially oxidized three times. This offers cosmetic formulations maximum protection and extension of shelf lives.
