How to use ALA Ready™ (Alpha Lipoic Acid Oil Base) for PDT treatment

ALA Ready™ (Alpha Lipoic Acid Oil Base) that you inquired about is a ready-to-use oil-based form of Alpha Lipoic Acid, not a powder that needs to be dissolved first.

Mixing Instructions and Usage Rate:

• ALA Ready™ is a liquid in oil form and can be mixed directly into the oil phase of a formulation.
• The recommended usage rate is 1-5%. It is advised to start with a lower concentration, such as 1-2%, as Alpha Lipoic Acid can cause skin irritation if used at high concentrations.
• It can be incorporated into cosmetic formulations like serums, lotions, or creams.

Caution:

• ALA degrades easily when exposed to high heat. During the mixing process, avoid temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
• You should incorporate ALA Ready™ into a suitable cosmetic base before applying it, rather than mixing it with other substances and applying it directly.

Therefore, to prepare it for application before PDT treatment, you will need to mix ALA Ready™ into a cosmetic formula, such as a serum or cream, at the recommended concentration first.
