Lemon Peel Bioferment Solubility in Body Oil Formulation
Question
I am trying to formulate a body oil and would like to use Lemon Peel Bioferment oil soluble. Can this ingredient be successfully incorporated into an oil-based body oil formulation?
Answer
Lemon Peel Bioferment (Lemon Skin™) is water-soluble, not oil-soluble. This means it cannot be directly incorporated into an oil-based body oil as it will not dissolve and will separate.
To use Lemon Peel Bioferment (Lemon Skin™) in a body oil formulation, you would need to create an emulsion, such as an oil-in-water lotion or cream. In such a formulation, the Lemon Peel Bioferment (Lemon Skin™) would be added to the water phase, and then emulsified with the oil phase using appropriate emulsifiers.
If you specifically require an oil-soluble lemon extract for a pure oil-based body oil, you would need to source a different product that is explicitly stated as oil-soluble.
