Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) Solubility in Transdermal Gel

Based on the product information for Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) (Powder), it is stated that the powder form can be dissolved in oil, Propylene Glycol, or any type of Glycol.

There is also a product called ALA Ready™ (Alpha Lipoic Acid Oil Base) which is an oil-based liquid form designed to be mixed directly into oil or the oil phase of a formulation.

Therefore, confirming the information from the conversation, you can indeed mix the powder form of ALA into the oil phase of your transdermal gel formulation, as it is soluble in oil. If you are using the ALA Ready™ product, it is already in an oil base and can be mixed directly into the oil phase.

Ensure your transdermal gel formulation is compatible with incorporating oil-soluble ingredients.
