FORMULATING

WITH AHE

At PREMIUM ORGANIC, we designed ALPIN HEILMOOR EXTRACT™ (AHE) to be a versatile and easy-to-use active ingredient, seamlessly integrating into a wide range of cosmetic, oral care, and hair care formulations.

KEY FACTS FOR FORMULATING WITH AHE

PH COMPATIBILITY

The recommended pH range for optimal stability of AHE is 5.0 – 7.5, though it has been successfully formulated in products with a broader pH range from 4 to 9.

COLOR VARIETY

While AHE has a naturally dark shade, it can be successfully formulated into lighter-colored products by adjusting the oil phase or formulation strategy.

TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY

Long-term exposure to 95°C for 60 minutes may alter humic acid composition.

SOLUBILITY

AHE is approximately 90% water-soluble.

NO SPECIAL PRE-DISPERSION NEEDED

AHE is usually added as an extra phase at the end before final homogenization, making it easy to integrate.

PRESERVATIVE STABILITY

AHE-containing formulations comply with DIN 11930 microbiological standards.

VISCOSITY CONSIDERATION

Low-viscosity products should include a “Shake Before Use” instruction to ensure even dispersion.

COMPATIBILITY

AHE is compatible with a wide range of formulation components, including emulsifiers, surfactants, and active ingredients. It can be incorporated into both water- and oil-based formulations without compromising stability or efficacy.
