Characteristics

Special antioxidant made from mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, and Bavarian hop extract dissolved in organic sunflower oil. Reliable product protection and active ingredient in one!

Lipids (e.g., oils, butters, and waxes), fat-soluble active ingredients, and other fat-soluble substances can oxidize (turn rancid) over time due to oxygen in the air. To slow down this oxidative process, so-called antioxidants are used. A popular antioxidant is tocopherol (Vitamin E). It scavenges free radicals and thus protects, for example, oils or our skin cells - however, it oxidizes itself in the process and thus becomes inactive. "Tocopherol" is actually a generic term for different substances. For instance, "gamma-tocopherol" is used for product protection, while "alpha-tocopherol" is an excellent active ingredient for skin protection but does not protect the product.

Anti-Ox Lipid contains a mixed tocopherol and is therefore the ideal protection for both product AND skin. Furthermore, it contains rosemary extract and hop extract, which can regenerate tocopherol and reactivate it. In this way, the duration of effectiveness is extended and protection is significantly improved. This is especially important when sensitive oils are used - e.g., cold-pressed vegetable oils. These often have a short shelf life and can cause finished products to oxidize faster when used. Pure tocopherol is sometimes not enough here to ensure good product shelf life.

Anti-Ox Lipid is specifically designed for use in anhydrous products. It significantly extends the shelf life of oils and can therefore be used for "oil raw materials" as well as for end products. We recommend "preserving" every vegetable oil you receive immediately with Anti-Ox Lipid. This way, oxidation is minimized very early on. This increases not only the shelf life but also skin compatibility, as free radicals can also irritate the skin. It should not be missing from any oil-based product.

Application concentration and processing

• 0.5 - 2% in all types of lipids and anhydrous products (oil mixtures, balms, and sticks) - depending on the oxidative sensitivity of the lipids used

• stir into the finished product below 45 degrees

• can be heated along with the mixture to protect sensitive oils from heat - however, temperatures above 70 degrees and long holding times should be avoided
