Adding Ingredients to Oil Gel with Sugar Gel

Subject: Regarding ingredients for oil gel using Sugar Gel

You are asking about adding Bakuchiol, Perfect-C, Pure-Melatonin, and Pure-EGCG™ to an oil gel made with Sugar Gel, and how to dissolve them without high temperature.

Here's the information:

• Making the Sugar Gel base: Sugar Gel (Sucrose Stearate / Sucrose Palmitate) requires heating in oil (typically 80-90°C) to dissolve and form the gel upon cooling. Therefore, the base itself requires high temperature during preparation.
• Adding ingredients:
  • Bakuchiol and Perfect-C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) are oil-soluble. They can be added to the oil phase and will dissolve when the oil is heated to dissolve the Sugar Gel.
  • Pure-Melatonin and Pure-EGCG™ are primarily soluble in water or ethanol, not oil. They will not dissolve in an oil gel base made with Sugar Gel.

In summary, Bakuchiol and Perfect-C can be incorporated by adding them to the oil phase during the heating step required to dissolve the Sugar Gel. However, Pure-Melatonin and Pure-EGCG™ are not oil-soluble and cannot be dissolved in this type of oil gel base. Dissolving the Sugar Gel base itself requires high heat, so adding oil-soluble ingredients during this process is the standard method.
