Question
Can I add sunscreen ingredients, such as Titanium Dioxide, directly into a ready-made aloe vera gel base to create a sunscreen product?
Answer
Based on the staff's reply, adding sunscreen ingredients like Titanium Dioxide directly to a pre-made Aloe Vera gel base is not the recommended method for creating a sunscreen product.
Sunscreen ingredients need to be formulated according to specific methods to ensure proper dispersion, stability, and efficacy.
It is advised to:
- Review example sunscreen formulations (both physical and chemical types) available in formulation resources.
- If you wish to include Aloe Vera, you can add Aloe Vera extract to these proper sunscreen formulations.
This approach ensures the sunscreen is effective and stable.
