Question

I want to mix the following ingredients directly with oils to create an oil-based product (serum) for nighttime face application that doesn't feel sticky, and store it in a vacuum bottle. Can this be done?

  • Myristyl Nicotinate (Pro-Niacin™) 5%
  • MSH White Absorb™ 5%
  • Rose Hip Oil (Extra Virgin Organic Fresh) 30% (for skin balance and wrinkle reduction)
  • Argan Oil (Organic - Virgin - Deodorized) 30% (for antioxidant and wrinkle reduction)
  • Moringa Oil (Virgin Organic) 30% (for antioxidant and skin restoration)

Answer

Creating Your Oil Blend Serum

Yes, you can mix Myristyl Nicotinate (Max-B3™) and MSH White Absorb™ directly into your blend of Rose Hip Oil, Argan Oil, and Moringa Oil.

  • Compatibility: Both Myristyl Nicotinate (Max-B3™) and MSH White Absorb™ are oil-soluble ingredients and are designed to be mixed into the oil phase of a formulation. The oils you've chosen (Rose Hip Oil, Argan Oil, and Moringa Oil) are suitable base oils for this type of serum.
  • Mixing: You can simply add the specified percentages of Myristyl Nicotinate (Max-B3™) and MSH White Absorb™ to your blend of Rose Hip Oil, Argan Oil, and Moringa Oil and mix thoroughly. Gentle warming (not exceeding 80°C for MSH White Absorb™) can help ensure complete dissolution if needed, but often simple mixing is sufficient for oil-soluble ingredients in an oil base.
  • Storage: Storing the finished oil blend in a vacuum bottle is an excellent practice. This helps to minimize exposure to air, which can help preserve the freshness and stability of the oils, especially those rich in unsaturated fatty acids like Rose Hip Oil and Argan Oil.
  • Benefits: This blend combines ingredients known for various skin benefits:
    • Myristyl Nicotinate (Max-B3™) is known for improving skin barrier function, hydration, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and enhancing skin tone and texture.
    • MSH White Absorb™ helps to adjust skin tone for a brighter, more radiant complexion by targeting melanin production.
    • Rose Hip Oil, Argan Oil, and Moringa Oil provide nourishing, antioxidant, and skin-restoring properties, helping to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin health.

Based on your positive experience with using oil blends that don't feel sticky, this combination should also feel comfortable on your skin.
