Kojic Acid Dipalmitate and Sweet Almond Oil

1. Using Sweet Almond Oil as the oil phase: Yes, you can use Sweet Almond Oil as the oil phase when working with Kojic Acid Dipalmitate. Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is an oil-soluble ingredient and should be mixed into the oil part of your formulation.

2. Mixing into a pre-made base: Kojic Acid Dipalmitate needs to be dissolved in the oil phase using heat (around 80°C) to ensure it is fully incorporated. It is best to mix it into the oil phase during the formulation process where the oil phase is heated and properly combined with other ingredients. Adding it to a finished base after dissolving might not provide optimal dispersion or stability compared to incorporating it during the standard emulsification process.
