However, regarding your general questions about using active ingredients in an oil base:
- Effectiveness of MSH White™: We cannot confirm the effectiveness of MSH White™ from our database search results.
- Usage in Oil Base and Irritation: Generally, incorporating active ingredients into an oil base requires careful formulation. While an ingredient may be oil-soluble, its concentration and the overall formulation can still influence skin response. Using an ingredient at the recommended percentage in an oil base might be suitable, but it's crucial to:
- Strictly follow the supplier's recommended usage percentage.
- Consider the purity and grade of the ingredient.
- Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying to the entire face, especially if you have sensitive skin, to check for any irritation or adverse reactions.
For oil-based formulations targeting melasma, freckles, and dark spots, other oil-soluble ingredients commonly used include certain derivatives of Vitamin C, such as Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, which is known for its skin brightening properties and good stability in oil bases. Various plant extracts with skin brightening benefits may also be formulated into oil-soluble forms.
