Question

Regarding a gel formulation, I have two questions:

  1. Will PE-1 Aqua reduce the absorption of oil-soluble ingredients in this formula, specifically Proniacin 5%, Pterostilbene 3%, and Bisabolol 1%?
  2. What is the maximum percentage of oil that Pro Polymer Silk can emulsify, and can the concentration of Pro Polymer Silk in this formula be reduced to 0.5%?

Answer

Based on the provided information:

Regarding your questions about the gel formulation:

  1. Will PE-1 Aqua reduce the absorption of oil-soluble ingredients in this formula?
    According to the reply, there is a high chance that PE-1 Aqua will reduce the absorption of oil-soluble ingredients like Proniacin, Pterostilbene, and Bisabolol. It is advised not to include PE-1 Aqua in this formula.

  2. What is the maximum percentage of oil that Pro Polymer Silk can emulsify, and can the concentration of Pro Polymer Silk in this formula be reduced to 0.5%?
    Pro Polymer Silk can emulsify oils up to 10-20%, depending on the specific type of oil. For this formula, which contains only a small amount of oil, reducing Pro Polymer Silk to 0.5% is possible and will still stabilize the formula, although the resulting texture might be thinner.

  3. If two gels containing 1.5% PE-1 Aqua are applied layered on top of each other, will there be any effect?
    The provided information does not cover the effects of layering two different gel products containing PE-1 Aqua.
