Question

I would like a simple formula combining Bakuchiol and water-soluble Coenzyme Q10 (Product ID 8006) that does not require blending. Is this possible? Thank you.

Answer

Hello!

I understand you are looking for a simple formulation recipe for Bakuchiol and Q10 that does not require blending.

Based on the information provided, Bakuchiol is typically oil-soluble, while the specific Coenzyme Q10 you mentioned (Product ID 8006) is a water-soluble powder.

Directly mixing oil-soluble ingredients (Bakuchiol) with water-soluble ingredients (Q10) without an emulsifier and without blending will cause the mixture to separate into layers and be unstable.

Therefore, creating a stable formulation that combines both Bakuchiol and Q10 without separation and without blending is generally difficult. It typically requires an emulsifier and a mixing process that helps the two phases (water and oil) combine well, which usually involves continuous stirring or blending.

Thus, a "simple" and "no-blend" recipe that keeps both ingredients together stably is hard to achieve.

You might consider alternative options such as:

  1. Making an oil-based serum with Bakuchiol only.
  2. Making a water-based serum or toner with Q10 only.
  3. If you wish to use both together in a single product, you might need to consider using a pre-made base that already contains emulsifiers, or create a formula that involves combining water and oil phases, which may require blending.

I hope this explanation is helpful!
