How to use

Dermofeel PA-3 is a versatile chelating agent used to stabilize and enhance formulations across various cosmetic and personal care products. Here’s how it can be incorporated into formulas:

General Usage Guidelines:

1. Concentration:
   • Recommended usage level is 0.05% to 0.2%, depending on the formulation requirements.
   • Adding 0.1% Dermofeel PA-3 can significantly boost the effectiveness of preservatives like Dermosoft 1388.
2. pH Impact:
   • Dermofeel PA-3 has an acidic pH and may lower the pH of the final product. Adjust the formula’s pH as needed after incorporating it.
3. Compatibility:
   • Compatible with natural and synthetic preservatives, as well as surfactants and emulsifiers.
   • Suitable for water-based formulations due to its solubility.

Applications in Formulations:

1. Cleansing Products (Shampoos, Soaps, Body Washes):
   • Prevents the adverse effects of metal ions on foaming and ensures consistent product performance.
2. Skincare (Lotions, Creams, Serums):
   • Protects against oxidation and discoloration, stabilizing active ingredients and extending product shelf life.
3. Hair Care (Conditioners, Hair Masks):
   • Maintains product stability, color integrity, and performance in hair care formulations.
4. Preservative Boosting:
   • Works synergistically with natural preservatives like Dermosoft 1388, enhancing antimicrobial activity and reducing the required concentration of preservatives.

Formulation Steps:

1. Add Dermofeel PA-3 during the water phase of the formulation process.
2. Mix thoroughly until fully dissolved to ensure even distribution.
3. Monitor and adjust the final pH of the formulation as needed.

Dermofeel PA-3 is an essential addition to any formulation, offering natural, biodegradable chelation to improve product stability, performance, and eco-friendliness.
