Question

I would like to know the compatibility of the following ingredients for use in a formulation:

  • Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate)
  • Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate)
  • Natto Gum
  • Niacinamide
  • Glucosamine
  • Squalane
  • Ethyl Ascorbic acid
  • Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA2G™, Stable Vitamin C)

Answer

Based on the information in the conversation above, Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate) and Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate) are compatible. Additionally, other ingredients you initially asked about, such as Natto Gum, Niacinamide, and Glucosamine, are also compatible. The exception is Squalane, which is oil-soluble and requires an emulsifier if mixed with water-soluble ingredients.
