Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Guideline usage level: 2–10 % in creams and lotions; 1–5 % in shampoo and conditioner; 5–30 % in balms; up to 100 % in body oils, massage oils and makeup removers.
How to use and incorporate: Add to the oil phase of the formula. Oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic) are heat-sensitive: add them during cool-down (below 40 °C/104 °F) or heat them as briefly as possible. In anhydrous products (body oils, balms) blend cold or warm.
Formulation tips:
- Add an antioxidant such as tocopherol (vitamin E) at 0.05–0.5 % to delay rancidity and extend shelf life.
- Combine light, fast-absorbing oils with heavier oils to adjust the skin feel; dry oils work well in facial serums and heavier oils in balms and products for dry skin.
- Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Miscible with other oils, butters, waxes, esters and most silicones; insoluble in water (requires an emulsifier for creams and lotions).
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry place, protected from light.
Precautions: Low-hazard product. Avoid contact with eyes. Spills make surfaces slippery.
