Answer
Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Powder, Timed-Release) Dispersion
Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Powder, Timed-Release) is designed to be dispersed in gel or cream formulas. It is not soluble in any formula but rather dispersed as fine particles.
This type of salicylic acid requires a slightly thick gel or cream base to keep the powder particles suspended and prevent them from settling. Therefore, it cannot be dispersed in natural oils or Fractionated Coconut Oil, as these lack the necessary viscosity to hold the powder in suspension.
Mixing Instructions (for suitable gel or cream bases):
Mix the Encapsulated Salicylic Acid powder into your finished gel or cream product in the final step. Blend thoroughly to ensure the powder is evenly distributed throughout the formula. It is important to blend for a sufficient time (e.g., at least 15 minutes with a homogenizer or 30 minutes with a low-speed blender) to avoid clumping. Avoid using heat above 40°C during mixing.
