Choosing Cocoa Extract for 100% Body Oil Formulation

Based on the product database, the Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract (Product ID: 6860) is a water-soluble extract (dissolved in Propylene Glycol).

For a 100% Oil Body Oil formula, this specific extract is not suitable because:

1. Incompatibility: It will not dissolve in oil and will cause separation (sedimentation) at the bottom of the bottle.
2. Formula Stability: To mix a water-soluble extract into an oil base, you would need an emulsifier, which would turn the formula into a lotion or cream rather than a 100% oil.

Recommendation:

• If you require the benefits or scent of Cocoa in a 100% oil formula, you should look for a version specifically labeled as "Oil Soluble".
• Alternatively, you may consider using Cocoa Butter (if available) or an oil-soluble fragrance to achieve the desired scent in an oil-based product.
• If you are looking for oil-soluble antioxidants for your body oil, Tocotrienols (Oil, 50%) is an excellent option for skin nourishment and protection.

Relevant Product:

• Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract: Water-soluble extract, suitable for water-based formulas or emulsions.
• Tocotrienols (Oil, 50%): High-potency Vitamin E in oil form, ideal for 100% oil formulas.
