Mastering Stability in Anhydrous Formulations

Anhydrous balms, sticks and solid bars are gaining market momentum, driven by demand for concentrated, water-free formats and reduced reliance on preservatives. For formulators, however, their apparent simplicity can hide complex stability risks. Texture shifts, bloom, graininess and separation may only appear after scale-up or weeks in storage — and are often blamed on the formulation when the real cause could be in the ingredient behavior, processing conditions or storage history.
 
This 30-minute on-demand webinar shares comparative trial data to show how butter type, filling temperature, cooling rate and storage conditions affect crystallization behavior, hardness, bloom risk and long-term stability.

Key takeaways:

  • Why ingredients with the same INCI name can behave very differently
  • How melting profile, polarity and molecular structure guide ingredient selection
  • How filling temperature, cooling rate and storage conditions determine final texture
  • Why documenting a full time–temperature profile helps de-risk scale-up and support root cause analysis
  • How to select butters based on functional behavior — not label information alone
