Home Cosmetic Science Talk Formulating Egg Albumin

  • Egg Albumin

    Hello
    I am trying to use egg albumin in an instant lifting serum as I read it can constrict and lift up skin temporarily. But when I put the serum in 44’C (for stability test), the result was agglomeration of the albumin!
    Any idea please!

    one of our customers has a product formulated on the same principle: in this case, the albumen is present as a dry powder, and the end-user mixes it with a carbomer gel at the point of use to form a serum

    given the trouble you’re having with stability in solution, it may be worth taking the same approach here

    Try adding the albumin below 35C. I’ve found when I add serum albumin at too high a temp I get “scrambled eggs” - quite literally!
