Hi, friends. I'm a newbie here. I'm formulating a facial oil. I would like to add ascorbyl palmitate in it. It's said that ascorbyl palmitate is oil soluble but I cannot dissolve them completely. How could I add it to the oil? Do I need any special techniques, equipment or I need to dissolve it in another solvent first? Can you give me some advice? Thank you!

if it's reasonably soluble in the oil you want to dissolve it in, it'll dissolve at a much lower temperature than the melting point
I agree with @Belassi; since it's an ester, try dissolving it in another ester
maybe you are adding too much? I have used it in oils eg sunflower no problem without heating to 70°C
