Using L-Glutathione in Water-Free Formulations
Question
How can L-Glutathione be used in water-free formulations? What are the considerations for its solubility and effectiveness in different product types like serum, balm, or stick formats?
Answer
Regarding the use of L-Glutathione in water-free formulations:
L-Glutathione is a water-soluble ingredient. It requires water to dissolve properly and be effective when applied to the skin.
Therefore, it is generally used in water-based formulations or emulsion systems (which contain a water phase). Using L-Glutathione in a completely water-free formula is problematic because it will not dissolve, significantly limiting its ability to function.
To provide a more specific answer and suggest potential options (if any exist for low-water systems), please provide more details about:
- The type of formulation you want to create (e.g., serum, balm, stick)
- How it will be used
- The intended purpose or benefit
This information will help determine the best way to incorporate L-Glutathione or if an alternative approach is needed.
