Adding Ingredients to Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel

Yes, you can add extracts, anti-aging ingredients, and preservatives to the Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel base.

This base is designed to be customized by adding other skincare substances. Extracts and anti-aging ingredients are suitable additions.

Regarding preservatives, while the base itself is oil-based, adding certain extracts or other ingredients might introduce water or create conditions where microbial growth could occur. Therefore, adding a suitable preservative might be necessary depending on the specific ingredients you add and the intended use and storage of the final product.

Quantity to Add:

The appropriate quantity for adding extracts, anti-aging ingredients, and preservatives depends entirely on the specific ingredients you choose. Each ingredient has its own recommended usage rate based on its efficacy, safety, and the supplier's guidelines. You should always follow the recommended percentages provided by the supplier of each specific additive.

It is also important to consider the compatibility of the ingredients with the base and perform stability testing on your final formulation to ensure it remains safe and effective over time.
