Compatibility of Max-B3 and Perfect-C in Oil-based Formulations
Question
Can Max-B3™ (Myristyl Nicotinate, an oil-soluble Vitamin B3) be mixed with Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, an oil-soluble Vitamin C) in an oil-based skin lotion?
Answer
Regarding your question about mixing Max-B3™ with Perfect-C™ in an oil-based skin cream:
Based on our product information, we do not recommend combining Max-B3™ (Myristyl Nicotinate, which is an oil-soluble Vitamin B3) with Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, an oil-soluble Vitamin C).
The product description for Perfect-C™ specifically states: "Do not use with Vitamin B3... in the formula." This is crucial for maintaining the stability and efficacy of Perfect-C™.
Therefore, to ensure optimal performance and stability of both ingredients, it is best to avoid mixing them in the same formulation.
Follow-up Replies
Question:
I would like to ask for further clarification regarding the use of Perfect-C™ and Max-B3™.
If these ingredients are in separate formulations, can they be applied sequentially? For example, if I apply an oil containing Perfect-C™ first, and then follow with an oil containing Max-B3™.
If sequential application is possible, what is the recommended waiting period (in minutes) between applying the two products?
Answer:
You can use Max-B3™ and Perfect-C™ in separate formulations, applying them sequentially.
When applying products with active ingredients that are not recommended to be mixed in the same formula, it is generally advisable to allow a waiting period between applications. This allows each product to fully absorb and work effectively on the skin without potential interference from the other.
We recommend waiting approximately 15-30 minutes between applying a product containing Perfect-C™ and a product containing Max-B3™. This ensures that each ingredient has sufficient time to penetrate and exert its benefits.
Please remember that while sequential application is possible, it's always best to observe your skin for any signs of irritation or adverse reactions when introducing new products or combinations.
