Question
Regarding dissolving Kojic Acid Dipalmitate:
- Can Kojic Acid Dipalmitate be dissolved in ODA-White Plus™?
- What is the required ratio of solvent (like ODA-White Plus™) to Kojic Acid Dipalmitate for complete dissolution?
- Are there alternative solvents/emollients like LipidSoft that can be used, especially to avoid a greasy texture (e.g., LipidSoft Lite)?
Answer
Based on the information provided:
- Kojic Acid Dipalmitate can be dissolved in ODA-White Plus™.
- However, ODA-White Plus™ is typically used at 1-3%. This concentration might not be sufficient to dissolve Kojic Acid Dipalmitate if it's also used at 1-3%.
- Generally, you need about 3 times the amount of oil/solvent compared to Kojic Acid Dipalmitate for complete dissolution.
- For example, if using 3% ODA-White Plus™, Kojic Acid Dipalmitate should not exceed 1% for complete dissolution. Incomplete dissolution will result in no efficacy.
- If you want to avoid using a lot of traditional oil, you can use emollients/esters from the LipidSoft group.
- LipidSoft Lite is recommended if you are concerned about the formula being too greasy.
