Dissolving Activated Resorcinol™ in Natural Oil for Direct Use

Activated Resorcinol™ is soluble in oil and can be mixed with natural oils for direct use at a concentration of 1%, which is the maximum recommended concentration for leave-on products.

According to the information, Activated Resorcinol™ dissolves well in oils, including LipidSoft™, which is an emollient that helps dissolve and disperse various ingredients in formulations.

However, the amount of oil required to completely dissolve 1% Activated Resorcinol™ may vary depending on the type of natural oil used. As cosmeceutical7 explained, different oils have different dissolving properties.

Generally, using 1% Activated Resorcinol™ may require a larger amount of oil, such as 5% or more, to ensure complete dissolution. It is recommended to test by mixing a small amount first, starting with an oil to Activated Resorcinol™ ratio of 5:1 or 7:1, and observe if it dissolves completely. If not, you can gradually increase the amount of oil until the Activated Resorcinol™ powder is fully dissolved and clear in the oil.

Once Activated Resorcinol™ is dissolved in your desired natural oil, you can use this mixture directly as you intended.
