Answer

Compatibility of Oil Soluble Laurocapram with Your Ingredients

Oil Soluble Laurocapram is a penetration enhancer specifically designed for oil-soluble active ingredients. Therefore, it can effectively carry ingredients that dissolve in oil.

Based on the solubility information of the ingredients you listed:

  • WhiteCumin™ (Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane): This ingredient can be dissolved in oil, making it compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.
  • Pure-EGCG™ (Green Tea Extract, 98% EGCG): This ingredient is water dispersible with low solubility in water and is not oil-soluble. It is not compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) (Powder): This ingredient can be dissolved in oil, making it compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.
  • Madecassoside-80 (Centella Asiatica Extract): This ingredient is water soluble/dispersible and is not oil-soluble. It is not compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.
  • Encapsulated Retinol (65K.IU/g): This ingredient is water soluble. It is not compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.
  • Wrinkle-Lax™: This ingredient is water soluble. It is not compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.
  • Coenzyme Q10 Extra (liquid, old lot): This ingredient is oil soluble, making it compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.
  • BaicaVital™ (Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract) (liquid, old lot): This ingredient is water soluble. It is not compatible with Oil Soluble Laurocapram.

In summary, Oil Soluble Laurocapram is suitable for WhiteCumin™, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) (Powder), and Coenzyme Q10 Extra. It is not suitable for Pure-EGCG™, Madecassoside-80, Encapsulated Retinol, Wrinkle-Lax™, or BaicaVital™ as these are water-soluble or water-dispersible.
