High oxidative stable oils and bio-active ingredients

Learn how to optimize the shelf life, safety, and performance of your natural-based formulations. This session will show how the composition of fatty acids and naturally occurring tocopherols can impact stability and functionality and demonstrate how a high-quality oil phase can protect the skin barrier against environmental stressors.

 

Key takeaways:

  • Understanding the different types and typical concentrations of oils used across applications

  • The role of refinement and processing in optimizing stability, shelf life, and formulation quality

  • How to differentiate between protecting the ingredients, the formulation, and the skin against oxidation

  • How to harness and optimize the bio-activity of minor lipids in shea and canola

The different protective roles of antioxidants

This session, led by our US-based Customer Innovation Manager, Benjamin Schwartz, takes a deep dive into the role of antioxidants and how to differentiate between intrinsic oxidation from a plant-based ingredient versus oxidation from a formulation composition or the environment. It also looks at the role of antioxidants added to improve oil stability versus those added for skin-protecting benefits.
