Replacing Penetration Enhancers in Your Oil Formulation

Yes, you can replace Dimethyl Isosorbide with VersaMoist™ in your oil-based skin formulation containing Squalane Oil, Echium Oil, Rosehip oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, and Bakuchiol.

While Dimethyl Isosorbide is effective and often recommended for enhancing the penetration of ingredients like Bakuchiol, VersaMoist™ is also a suitable alternative. VersaMoist™ is designed to enhance skin penetration by being soluble in both water and oil, allowing it to effectively transport ingredients through the different layers of the skin.

For the usage rate of VersaMoist™, the recommended percentage is 0.5-3%. You can incorporate VersaMoist™ within this range into your oil blend.
