Question

Please provide a formulation for a body oil with the following properties:

  • Non-sticky, suitable for Thailand's climate, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing
  • Helps soften and brighten the skin
  • Provides antioxidant benefits
  • Includes sun protection at SPF50 PA+++
  • The oil texture should not be too yellow
  • Total volume of 100 ml

What ingredients should I use, and in what proportions?

Answer

To create a non-sticky, fast-absorbing body oil with SPF 50 PA+++ that is suitable for Thailand's climate and helps with skin brightening and antioxidant protection, I recommend the following formula. This formula uses lightweight esters instead of heavy natural oils to ensure a "dry" feel on the skin.

Body Oil SPF 50 PA+++ Formula (100 ml)

1. Sunscreen Phase:

  • SPF Protect Ultra™ III: 20% (20 ml) - Provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. At 20%, it achieves approximately SPF 50.
  • LipidSoft™ SPF: 10% (10 ml) - A specialized ester that helps dissolve sunscreens and reduces stickiness.

2. Active Ingredients (Brightening & Antioxidant):

  • Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate): 3% (3 ml) - A highly stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C that brightens skin, stimulates collagen, and acts as a potent antioxidant without turning yellow easily.
  • Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): 0.5% (0.5 ml) - Provides antioxidant protection for the skin and helps stabilize the formula.

3. Lightweight Base (The "Dry-Touch" feel):

  • Shea Butter Light Oil: 5% (5 ml) - Provides the nourishing benefits of Shea Butter but in a very light, liquid form.
  • LipidSoft™ Lite (Isononyl Isononanoate): 31.5% (31.5 ml) - A very light emollient that mimics the feel of silicone but is natural-based and non-clogging.
  • LipidSoft™ Dry II (Dicaprylyl Carbonate): 30% (30 ml) - Provides a dry, silky finish and helps the oil absorb quickly into the skin.

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Prepare a clean mixing container.
  2. Combine all ingredients together: SPF Protect Ultra™ III, LipidSoft™ SPF, Perfect-C™, Vitamin E, Shea Butter Light Oil, LipidSoft™ Lite, and LipidSoft™ Dry II.
  3. Stir or blend the mixture thoroughly until it is completely homogeneous and clear.
  4. Transfer the finished oil into a 100 ml bottle (preferably a pump or spray bottle).

Key Benefits:

  • Non-Greasy: The combination of LipidSoft™ Lite and Dry II ensures the oil feels light and "dry" even in humid weather.
  • Brightening: Perfect-C™ is effective for skin clarity and is more stable than traditional Vitamin C.
  • Sun Protection: SPF 50 protection using a liquid blend that is easy to incorporate.
  • Aesthetics: The formula will be a pale, light yellow color and will not feel heavy or "filmy" on the skin.

Note: Since this is an anhydrous (water-free) oil formula, a preservative is generally not required. However, ensure all equipment and containers are dry and clean to prevent contamination.
