Question

How to mix a formulation containing:

  • Vitamin E 2%
  • Vitamin B12 2%
  • Distilled Water 96%

Can these ingredients be mixed directly?

Answer

Hello,

According to the staff's information, Vitamin E is oil-like and cannot be mixed directly with water. It requires a water-oil emulsifier (such as Flora Solve or Flora Solve Clear) to help with mixing.

Vitamin B12, on the other hand, is water-soluble and can be added directly to water.

Therefore, the formula you asked about (Vitamin E 2%, Vitamin B12 2%, Distilled Water 96%) cannot be mixed directly as is because of the Vitamin E.

The staff also mentioned that they cannot provide advice on the suitability of the formula without knowing its purpose and the user's skin type.
