Antioxidant Optimizer: Enhance Your Formulation’s Stability
Welcome to the Antioxidant Optimizer, a cutting-edge tool designed for cosmetic chemists and skincare formulators. This tool transcends traditional calculators by offering advanced features to optimize your product’s antioxidant levels and ensure maximum stability against oxidation.
- Comprehensive Ingredient Database: Access an extensive library featuring oil saturation rates and detailed fatty acid profiles. Our optimizer calculates the oxidation rate by analyzing these critical factors. A study from the National Center for Biotechnology Information indicates that oils with more double bonds are more prone to oxidation, underscoring the necessity of precise ingredient analysis.
- Customizable Protocols: Tailor your antioxidant strategy by selecting from various protocols based on different antioxidant theories, enhancing your formulation’s efficacy.
- Antioxidant Personalization: Easily choose and integrate your preferred antioxidants into formulations, with automatic calculations to determine the optimal dosage.
- Oil Risk Evaluation: Quickly assess the oxidation risk for any selected oil, leveraging our tool’s comprehensive data analysis capabilities.
- Real-time Formulation Risk Indicator: Observe dynamic changes in the formula’s oxidation risk through our innovative risk bar as you modify oil percentages.
- Antioxidant Grams Calculator: Utilize our grams calculator for an accurate measurement of the antioxidant quantity needed in your oil phase.
Understanding Limitations
While the Antioxidant Optimizer is a powerful tool for preliminary assessments, please consider:
- Manufacturing processes may affect oxidation risk, which the tool cannot predict.
- It is not a substitute for professional stability testing. Consider this tool as a first step in the CSTA’s comprehensive stability testing process.
To ensure the safety and efficacy of cosmetic products, CSTA recommends thorough stability testing. Let us support you in this essential process.
Note: Exceptionally stable oils like Meadowfoam Seed Oil and Jojoba Oil exhibit less correlation between double bonds and oxidative risk. We aim to refine our calculations for these oils to provide accurate adjustments. However, to maintain scientific accuracy, manual modifications have been avoided at this stage.
