Solubility of Activated Resorcinol and Phytosphingosine in Water-Soluble Base

Based on the solubility characteristics of the ingredients you mentioned:

• Shea Butter Water Soluble and Tea Tree Oil (Water Soluble) are designed to be miscible with water, helping to disperse oil-based ingredients in a water phase. They do not act as true solvents for oil-soluble or lipid compounds.
• Activated Resorcinol (4-Butylresorcinol) is primarily soluble in oils or organic solvents, not water.
• Phytosphingosine is a lipid that is soluble in oils or organic solvents, not water.

Therefore, a mixture containing 5% Shea Butter Water Soluble and 2% Tea Tree Oil (Water Soluble) is unlikely to be able to dissolve 1% Activated Resorcinol and 2% Phytosphingosine. These oil-soluble ingredients require appropriate oil-based solvents or specific solubilizers designed for solid, oil-soluble compounds to achieve a clear solution.
