    I’m looking for an oil-soluble anti inflammatory for a shaving oil. I found some botanical extracts but they way too expensive. Any thoughts?

    The only oil soluble anti inflammatory ingredients I know are botanical extracts, like bisabolol and stearyl glycyrrhetinate and they indeed aren’t exactly cheap.

    Is this a Product which will be sold commercially? If so, and you are having an issue with costs of raw materials, you may be underfunded. It sounds like a small issue, but it is not as it will have an effect on the entire process from beginning to end.

    Marketing has a price point that is quite limiting to us.

    Calendula officinalis has antiinflamatory effects and it should be very cheap. Add some vitamin A as well and you got a great product that even I would use :)

    Great idea. Calendula is fairly cheap. Thank you!

    This botanical complex may be of interest. They also carry calendula as a single extract as well.

    I like the idea of using premixes, they make your life easy, but they are too expensive. For example the above example is like $90 per kg

    CLR Berlin can be checked as well for Calendula oil.

    True, convenience vs cost…
