DESCRIPTION
Peanut oil is a plant oil (Arachis hypogaea) extracted by hydraulic pressing. It is very light in color, and its ability to withstand high temperatures makes it ideal for frying. Its mild flavor makes it suitable for salads, mayonnaise and vinaigrettes.
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: Container tightly closed and full, protected from light and heat (ideally below 25 °C/77 °F). Once opened, minimize the air in the container to prevent oxidation.
Precautions: Low-hazard product. Avoid contact with eyes. Spills make surfaces slippery.
