Simple Oil-Based Retinal Body Oil

Based on your request to mix ActiveRelease Retinal™ and Grape Seed Oil for a body oil at home without a blender, using 3% ActiveRelease Retinal™ and 97% Grape Seed Oil:

Mixing ActiveRelease Retinal™ powder directly into Grape Seed Oil is straightforward and will result in an oil-based product that is easy to prepare at home by simple stirring.

However, the product description for ActiveRelease Retinal™ recommends adding ActiveProtec™ OX at 1% for enhanced stability and suggests using Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) to help reduce potential skin irritation and improve effectiveness.

The challenge is that both ActiveProtec™ OX and Vitamin B3 are water-soluble ingredients. They cannot be simply dissolved or mixed into a pure oil base like Grape Seed Oil. To include these ingredients, the formulation would need to be an emulsion (like a lotion or cream) that contains both oil and water phases, along with an emulsifier to keep them mixed. Creating a stable emulsion typically requires more than simple stirring and might benefit from equipment like a blender or homogenizer, which goes against your requirement for easy home mixing without a blender.

Therefore, if you want to keep the formulation strictly oil-based and easy to mix at home with just stirring, the simplest approach is to mix only the ActiveRelease Retinal™ into the Grape Seed Oil as you initially planned.

Here is the simple oil-based formulation:

• ActiveRelease Retinal™: 3%
• Grape Seed Oil: 97%

Mixing Instructions:
Weigh out the required amounts of ActiveRelease Retinal™ powder and Grape Seed Oil. Add the ActiveRelease Retinal™ powder to the Grape Seed Oil and stir well until the powder is evenly dispersed. Avoid heating during mixing.

Please be aware that by omitting ActiveProtec™ OX and Vitamin B3, the stability of the ActiveRelease Retinal™ in the formula might be reduced, and there could be a higher potential for skin irritation compared to a formula that includes these recommended ingredients. Store the final product away from light, heat, and air to help maintain its quality.
