Answer
Formulation Feasibility and Ingredient Grade
Regarding your proposed formula of 5% Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) and 95% Fractionated Coconut Oil, this formulation is feasible.
- Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) is an oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that dissolves well in oils. The recommended usage rate is 1-10%, so using it at 5% is within the effective and recommended range.
- Fractionated Coconut Oil is a suitable carrier oil for oil-soluble ingredients like Perfect-C™. It is a lightweight oil that can be used at high concentrations (up to 100%) and is compatible with oil-soluble actives.
Mixing these two ingredients will create a simple oil-based serum.
Regarding whether the Fractionated Coconut Oil sold is food grade and edible, the product description indicates that this oil is processed for cosmetic and topical applications, such as massage oils, skin creams, and as a carrier oil for essential oils. It describes its properties for skin and hair.
The description does not mention that it is food grade or suitable for consumption. Therefore, based on the provided information, this specific Fractionated Coconut Oil should be considered for external cosmetic use only and should not be ingested.
