Answer

Dissolving Wild Yam Extract in Squalane

Wild Yam Extract (Diosgenin 95%) is soluble in oil, and Squalane (Olive) is a suitable oil for this purpose.

If you want to create a simple mixture where Wild Yam Extract is at a concentration of 0.2%, and Squalane is the only other component used to dissolve it, you would need 99.8% of Squalane in that mixture.

This is calculated as 100% (total mixture) - 0.2% (Wild Yam Extract) = 99.8% (Squalane).

Remember that the recommended usage rate for Wild Yam Extract in a final cosmetic formulation is typically between 0.1% and 0.5%.
