 Formulating Guidelines: 
 
 Can be incorporated into the aqueous phase of the formulation in the final step of the formulating process, at a temperature below 40°C. When preparing an emulsion, add once the emulsion is formed.
 
 Shelf Life: 
 
 12 months from date of manufacture. 
 
 Storage: 
 
 Store in a dry place at temperatures not exceeding 32°C. Based on stability studies, the optimum storage temperature for maximization of shelf life is 23 - 25°C. However, it may be stored at temperatures between 16 and 32°C if such specific temperature control is not available. Do not freeze.
