Singlet state quencher that can help increase stability. Preservatives that degrade easily when exposed to UV light, such as Avobenzone, and help extend the life of active substances that easily degrade when exposed to UV light, such as Resveratrol, Retinal, Retinyl Palmirate, CoQ10, and others.

Protec™ SQ is a high performance singlet state quencher. Can help increase stability. Preservatives that degrade easily when exposed to UV light, such as Avobenzone, and help extend the life of active substances that easily degrade when exposed to UV light, such as Resveratrol, Retinal, Retinyl Palmirate, CoQ10, and others.

Protec™ SQ is suitable for use with Protec™ OX, Protec™ UV to completely protect/extend the life of the formula.

Further explanation of Singlet State Oxygen which causes Oxidation of ingredients in a formula.

Results of experiments with protecting various ingredients in the formula When using Protec™ SQ / not using Protec™ SQ before/after irradiation with UV light to induce Singlet State Oxygen / Oxidation

WARNING: Protec™ SQ is dark yellow. Using high doses will inevitably cause the formula to turn yellow. Although it does a good job of protecting the formula from deterioration.

The company sells substances that help protect ingredients in formulas. from quality deterioration as follows:

1. Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) can help protect ingredients. from deterioration Due to the oxidation process (free radicals). Advantages : The substance (Vitamin E) itself has a long life. Disadvantages : Lower efficiency than other types.

2. Vitamin E (dl-alpha Tocopherol) can help protect ingredients. from deterioration Due to the oxidation process (free radicals) Advantages : The substance (Vitamin E) itself has a shorter lifespan than other types . Disadvantages : Moderate efficiency, which is higher than Vitamin E of the Tocopheryl Acetate type.

3. Rosemary Oleoresin Extract can help protect ingredients. from deterioration Due to the oxidation process (free radicals). Advantages : Highly effective. Especially when used together with Vitamin E. Disadvantages : dark color, smell, high price.

4. Protec™ OX can help protect ingredients. from deterioration Due to the oxidation process (free radicals) Advantages : Highest efficiency Disadvantages : It is a chemical synthesis. (not caused by nature like 1,2,3)

5. Protec™ UV can help protect ingredients. From deterioration due to UV light. Advantages : Highest efficiency. Disadvantages : It is a chemical synthesis.

6. Protec™ SQ can help protect ingredients. It acts as a singlet state quencher, reducing oxidation in the formula. Advantages : has good efficiency. Disadvantages : has a dark yellow color.

7. ActiveProtec™ UV helps protect the formula from UV and can be directly dissolved in water. So it's easy to use. Add it to the water formula and blend until dissolved immediately. Suitable for products that need to be packaged in clear bottles.

8. ActiveProtec™ OX helps protect the formula from Oxidation and can be dissolved directly in water. So it's easy to use. Add it to the water formula and blend until dissolved immediately. Suitable for formulas that have discoloration problems, especially whitening formulas for white skin.

Usage: For mixing any formula that want to protect from deterioration from UV light

Mixing method: mix in oil

Usage rate: 2-5% (2-3% to protect sunscreens such as Avobenzone from deterioration after exposure to UV light, 3-5% to protect active ingredients such as Resveratrol, Retinal from deterioration when exposed to UV light)

Product characteristics: Yellow oil

Solubility: Can be dissolved in oil.

Storage: Can be stored at room temperature. But close the bottle cap tightly. Then completely protected from sunlight or heat. The product has a minimum shelf life of 2 years.
