Hi All,
I have a customer who has asked me to add beta carotene to a lotion I make for them. I am new to formulating, so I wasn't sure what would be the best way to do this. I looked at other formulations and I was surprised at how many different materials were being used. I saw carrot powder extract, carrot seed essential oil, and other methods to deliver beta carotene. What would be your suggestion and what is the typical percent added to lotions?
Thanks,
Stephen

I assume you use the compound in its pure form. I was going to purchase it from my chemical supplier, Sigma Aldrich. Do any of you suggest another source? Would this be sold where nutritional supplements are sold? It would be nice for a small trial.
This is a great forum Perry.
Thanks,
Stephen
