Formulation Guidelines
  • Recommended concentration: 0.1% ~
  • This material is a liposome precursor: always follow the diagram below to prepare the liposome solution.
  • We recommend using BG as the polyol in the polyol phase created in Step 1 (polyol phase preparation). Using glycerin can turn the solution turbid and cloudy.

Vitamin C60 BioResearch Corporation Moist Fullerene - Formulation Guidelines

1. Polyol phase preparation. Homogenize the Moist Fullerene and polyol (70°C).
    BG Recommended

2. Addition to aqueous phase. Warm the aqueous phase to 70°C, and then add the       polyol layer.

3. Liposome formation. Once the polyol layer is completely added, stir the mixture using a homogenizer at a constant temperature of 70°C.

4. Cool to at least 40°C.

5. Add thickener, other compounds. Add to creams, etc.

How to prepare the liposome solution (polyol dispersion):
Refer to the reference formula for mixing ratios and other details.

  • To stabilize the liposomes and stop them from depositing, add thickener or another compound to increase the mixture’s viscosity.

Photo: Liposome solution left to sit after preparation. Failure to enhance viscosity after preparing the liposome solution may result in sedimentation as in the left photo.

  • For cream-based cosmetics, first prepare the cream, and then heat it to ~50°C before adding the liposome solution.
  • Keep an eye on the solution’s pH (recommend: 6-8), since phospholipid structures can destabilize at high pH.

 

Helpful Hints

  • Your liposome solution should turn out clearer and more translucent if you add PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil or another non-ionic surfactant with high HLB (0.1-0.2%) during Step 1 (polyol phase preparation).
