Mixing Oils and Actives for Skin Barrier Repair Oil Blend

ถามโดย: shopslim เมื่อ: September 11, 2016 ประเภทผลิตภัณฑ์: เครื่องสำอาง

คำถาม

I want to mix several oils: Avocado, Apricot, Rose Hip Oil (Extra Virgin Organic Fresh), and Squalane (Olive). I initially wanted to use Argan Oil as well, but the smell is too rancid. Can I mix these oils?

Also, can I add FastRelief™ and SKIN-DEFENSE® V to this oil blend to improve its performance?

Could you please help adjust/suggest a formula and let me know the cost?

Skin Barrier Repair & Soothing Oil Blend

This blend focuses on nourishing the skin barrier, reducing irritation, and promoting healing, while aiming for a lighter feel.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:

  • Squalane (Olive): A lightweight, non-greasy oil that is very similar to the skin's natural sebum. It absorbs quickly, provides excellent hydration, and helps restore the skin barrier without clogging pores, making it ideal for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
  • Apricot Kernel Oil (Refined): Another relatively light and easily absorbed oil, rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E. It helps to moisturize, soothe irritation, and improve skin texture.
  • Rose Hip Oil (Extra Virgin Organic): Known for its regenerative properties, high in essential fatty acids (like linoleic and linolenic) and Vitamin A (in the form of retinoic acid). It helps repair damaged skin, reduce redness and scars (including acne marks), and improve overall skin health. It is richer than Squalane and Apricot, so a moderate percentage is recommended for a lighter blend.
  • Avocado Oil (Refined): A highly nourishing oil rich in vitamins (A, D, E), fatty acids, and lecithin. It's excellent for deeply moisturizing dry or compromised skin and supporting barrier function. While richer, a smaller percentage can provide significant benefits without making the blend too heavy.
  • SKIN-DEFENSE® V: This active ingredient, containing Beta-Sitosterol, is highly recommended for your concerns. It works to reduce skin irritation and, importantly, helps restore and strengthen the skin barrier over the medium to long term. This is crucial for skin recovering from damage or steroid use. It should be mixed into the oil blend.
  • FastRelief™: This ingredient provides immediate relief from sensations of irritation or heat. While it can be included for quick comfort, as the staff mentioned, it doesn't address the underlying issue of a weakened barrier. You can include it if immediate soothing is a priority, but focusing on barrier repair with the oils and SKIN-DEFENSE® V is key for long-term improvement. It should also be mixed into the oil blend and does not require heat.

Suggested Formulation Ratio (Example):

To achieve a balance of nourishment, repair, and a relatively lightweight feel, you could consider a ratio like this:

  • Squalane (Olive): 40-50%
  • Apricot Kernel Oil (Refined): 20-30%
  • Rose Hip Oil (Extra Virgin Organic): 10-15%
  • Avocado Oil (Refined): 5-10%
  • SKIN-DEFENSE® V: 2% (as recommended for sensitive skin)
  • FastRelief™: 1% (Optional, for immediate soothing)

Total: 100%

Mixing Instructions:
Combine the oils and the active ingredients (SKIN-DEFENSE® V and FastRelief™) in a clean container. Stir gently to mix thoroughly. Since SKIN-DEFENSE® V and FastRelief™ are oil-soluble and do not require heat, you can simply blend all ingredients at room temperature. Store the final oil blend in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness.

This ratio prioritizes the lighter oils (Squalane, Apricot) while incorporating the potent benefits of Rose Hip and Avocado oils at levels that should keep the blend from feeling too heavy. Adding SKIN-DEFENSE® V at the recommended concentration will significantly support your skin barrier recovery.

Regarding your question about formulation services, as the staff mentioned, advice and guidance are provided free of charge. You can create this blend yourself using the ingredients and suggested ratios.
