Adding Ingredients to Nail Oil Formulation (Vitamin B5, Biotin, Mineral Oil)

Subject: Nail Oil Formulation Inquiry

Hello,

Regarding your interest in creating a nail oil formulation with various oils:

• You can certainly mix Argan Oil and Vitamin E oil. While Vitamin E can be viscous, mixing it with other oils like Argan Oil or Mineral Oil can help adjust the texture.
• Regarding Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and Biotin, these ingredients are water-soluble. Since your desired formulation is 100% oil-based, Vitamin B5 and Biotin will not dissolve or mix properly into the oil phase. Therefore, they are not suitable for this type of oil-only formulation.
• You can definitely use Mineral Oil in your formulation. As it is also an oil, it will mix well with Argan Oil and Vitamin E oil, and can help adjust the overall viscosity.

A simple nail oil can be made by mixing your desired ratio of Argan Oil, Vitamin E oil, and Mineral Oil. You can adjust the proportions to achieve your preferred texture and feel.

Relevant products mentioned:

• Argan Oil (ID 89)
• Vitamin E (ID 65)
• Mineral Oil (ID 654)

Thank you.
