Adjusting Your Fat-Dissolving Gel Formula with L-Carnitine

You can certainly add L-Carnitine to your fat-dissolving gel formula. L-Carnitine is water-soluble and can help reduce cellulite and firm the skin.

To incorporate L-Carnitine, you will need to adjust the percentage of water in your existing formula to maintain a total of 100%. A recommended usage rate for L-Carnitine in body care products is typically 1-5%. Adding 3% L-Carnitine is a good starting point.

Here is the adjusted formula with 3% L-Carnitine:

• Chili Hot™: 0.5%
• Menthol Water Soluble: 2%
• Pro Polymer™ Silk: 1.5%
• Water: 89% (reduced from 92%)
• Mild Preserved Eco™: 1%
• Encapsulated Caffeine™: 3%
• L-Carnitine: 3%

Total: 100%

Mixing Steps

Follow these steps to incorporate L-Carnitine into your gel formula:

1. In a container, combine the Water, L-Carnitine, Menthol Water Soluble, and Encapsulated Caffeine™. Mix well until all ingredients are dissolved or dispersed.
2. Slowly add the Pro Polymer™ Silk to the mixture while stirring or mixing to allow it to hydrate and thicken the gel.
3. Once the gel has formed and is homogeneous, add the Chili Hot™ and Mild Preserved Eco™. Continue mixing until all components are evenly distributed in the gel.

Ensure thorough mixing at each step to achieve a stable and uniform gel. It's also advisable to check the pH of the final product to ensure it is within a suitable range for skin application and ingredient stability (L-Carnitine is stable in the pH range of 3.5-8).
