Question
Can the following ingredients at the specified percentages be mixed to create a cosmetic product, and what type of product would it be suitable for: Jojoba Oil (92.2%), Perfect-C™ (5%), MSH White™ (2%), Pseudoceramide (0.5%), and Protec™ OX (0.3%)?
Answer
Formulation Compatibility
Based on the ingredients and percentages you provided, the formulation appears to be mixable, particularly as a body oil.
- Jojoba Oil, Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate), Pseudoceramide (Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide), and Protec™ OX (Pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate) are all oil-soluble ingredients.
- These ingredients can be effectively mixed into an oil base like Jojoba Oil. Based on the product descriptions, Pseudoceramide and Protec™ OX may require heating (around 55-80°C) to fully dissolve in the oil. Perfect-C™ can be mixed into the oil phase.
Regarding the MSH White™ ingredient:
- Our search for "MSH White™" returned L-Phenylalanine (Product ID 6197) as the closest match. However, L-Phenylalanine is an amino acid and is typically water-soluble, not the oil-soluble ingredient commonly known as MSH White (Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine or Sepiwhite MSH) which is used for skin whitening.
- If you intended to use Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine (Sepiwhite MSH), this ingredient is oil-soluble and would be compatible in your Jojoba Oil formulation.
Therefore, assuming you intended to use the oil-soluble form of MSH White (Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine), your formulation is generally mixable. You would typically combine all ingredients in the Jojoba Oil, using gentle heat if needed to dissolve the Pseudoceramide and Protec™ OX, and stir until everything is fully dispersed.
