Answer
How to Formulate a Dark Spot Reducing Gel with MSH White™
To create a gel formulation for reducing dark spots using MSH White™ (Undecylenoyl phenylalanine), you should consider the following regarding solubility and usage rate:
Solvent: MSH White™ is soluble in oil or alcohol. To dissolve it effectively, you will need to use heat. The product description recommends heating to at least 60°C (or 80°C when dissolving in the oil phase of a formula). It can also dissolve in high pH (>8) solutions.
- When formulating a gel, you would typically dissolve MSH White™ in a suitable oil or alcohol phase first using heat, and then incorporate this solution into your gel base.
Usage Rate: The recommended usage rate for MSH White™ is 0.5% to 2% of the total formulation. You can select the percentage within this range based on the desired efficacy.
Remember to follow good manufacturing practices when creating your formulation.
