Dissolving Kojic Acid Dipalmitate in ODA-White Plus and LipidSoft

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 1

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.
