Question
Can Pro-Niacin (Myristyl Nicotinate) be mixed with Perfect-C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate)? How should this mixture be incorporated into a formulation containing an emulsifier?
Answer
Based on the staff's response:
- Myristyl Nicotinate (Pro-Niacin) is oil-soluble. It can be incorporated directly into formulations that already contain an emulsifier or other coordinating agents.
- Alternatively, you can mix Myristyl Nicotinate (Pro-Niacin) with other oils, such as Perfect-C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate), and then add this mixture to your formulation that contains an emulsifier or coordinating agents.
Therefore, yes, you can mix Pro-Niacin with Perfect-C.
