Compatibility of Ingredients in Aloe Vera Gel Base

Subject: Mixing ingredients into Aloe Vera base

Regarding mixing the listed ingredients into the Aloe Vera gel base (heavy), here is the compatibility information:

Ingredients that can be mixed:

• Alpha Arbutin
• Niacinamide
• n-acetyl glucosamine
• White Curcumin (Tetrahydrocurcuminoids)

These ingredients are generally water-soluble and compatible with a water-based gel like the Aloe Vera base.

Ingredient that cannot be mixed:

• Activated Resorcinol (4-Butylresorcinol)

Based on the information provided, Activated Resorcinol is oil-soluble and not compatible with a water-based gel containing polymers.

Mixing Method:
For the ingredients that can be mixed (Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide, n-acetyl glucosamine, White Curcumin), which are typically in powder form, it is recommended to dissolve them in a small amount of purified water or a portion of the Aloe Vera base first before adding the solution to the main base. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated and the gel is clear or uniform.

Important Considerations:

• Always adhere to the maximum recommended usage percentage for each ingredient as specified on the product page to ensure safety and efficacy.
• As noted previously, using multiple potent whitening agents simultaneously might increase the risk of skin irritation or sensitivity. Consider incorporating soothing agents if using high concentrations or multiple actives.
