Start at the low end, evaluate stability and performance in your actual base, then step up. As a heat- and light-sensitive natural, keep finished products in amber or opaque packaging and avoid hot-fill stages where possible.

Send your base formula and we will recommend the optimal start rate plus stability guidance for that specific system.
