Questions about Bi-Phase Essence Formula Stability and Ingredients

Hello,

Regarding your questions about the bi-phase essence formula, here are the answers:

1. Will the oil phase become a clear liquid after dissolving Kojic Dipalmitate and shea butter (Ultra Soft) with other oils?

   • The oil phase will not be a clear liquid. Kojic Dipalmitate does not dissolve clearly but disperses in oil as a white cream.
   • Additionally, Shea Butter (Ultra Soft) may solidify at low temperatures. The team previously recommended considering Shea Butter Light Oil or Shea Nut Oil instead for a bi-phase formula to avoid this issue.

2. If the oil and water phases are poured into the same bottle and shaken, will the oil float on top of the water when left standing?

   • Yes, that is correct. The nature of a bi-phase formula is that the water and oil phases do not emulsify and will separate when left standing, with the oil phase typically floating on top of the water phase. You need to shake it before each use.

3. Will perfect c and Safe B3 affect each other when mixed in this bi-phase formula?

   • There will be no impact on each other because these ingredients are in separate phases and do not directly interact.

4. Will leaving it for a long time affect stability?

   • Long-term stability may be affected. Specifically, Perfect-C is sensitive to light. If the formula is packaged in a clear bottle to show the separation (which is common for bi-phase products), light exposure can shorten the shelf life of Perfect-C.
   • Furthermore, the potential solidification issue with Shea Butter (Ultra Soft) mentioned in point 1 can also affect the physical appearance of the formula over time.

Hope this information is helpful!
