Using Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) Liquid in Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel Serum

Yes, you can incorporate Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) Liquid into a Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel base to create a serum.

LHA is known to be soluble in both oil and water. Since Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel is an oil-based system, you can directly dissolve the LHA Liquid into the gel base.

Recommended Usage Rate

The typical recommended usage rate for Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) is between 0.5% and 5%. However, it is generally advised not to exceed 2% in a formulation to minimize the potential for skin irritation.

Incorporation Method

When adding LHA Liquid (or other active ingredients) to a pre-made 100% base like the Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel, the percentage of the base will be reduced. For example, if you add 2% LHA Liquid, your final formulation will be 98% Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel base and 2% LHA Liquid (plus any other ingredients you add, ensuring the total is 100%).

Simply weigh the desired amount of Fractionated Coconut Oil Gel base and then add the calculated percentage of LHA Liquid directly into the base. Stir or mix gently until fully dispersed.

This base is also suitable for incorporating other oil-soluble active ingredients you wish to add to your serum.
