Ingredients to make oil absorb faster into skin
Question
What ingredients can be added to an oil formulation to make it absorb into the skin quickly, and what are the recommended usage percentages for these ingredients?
Answer
Ingredients to Help Oil Absorb Quickly
To help oils penetrate the skin more quickly and feel less greasy, you can add emollients that are light and spread easily. Some suitable options include:
LipidSoft™ Lube (PPG-15 Stearyl Ether): This emollient provides a smooth, light feel and is non-occlusive. It helps oils spread better without leaving a heavy film.
- Recommended Usage Rate: 1-10%
LipidSoft™ Cyclo (Undecane and Tridecane): This ingredient is designed to be very light and volatile, similar to Cyclomethicone but without silicone. It significantly increases the spreadability of formulas, leading to faster absorption and a dry, smooth finish.
- Recommended Usage Rate: 1-20%
LipidSoft™ B (Dibutyl Adipate): Known for its ability to help formulas spread easily and dry quickly, leaving a light and smooth touch. It is often used in sunscreens for this property.
- Recommended Usage Rate: 1-20%
Adding one of these emollients to your oil formulation can help improve its skin feel and absorption speed.
