I made some fruit juice bath soaps before. Let’s talk. -
Acetic acid.

Did you considered some ionic liquids? Ionic liquids may used together with DMSO or even provide a better alternative to DMSO and are known dissolve cellulosic material. My guess is that fruit dried pulp powder may be rich in cellulosic material.

Have you considered M1V1 = M2V2?
Using the the 70% solution and a 5% addition, your M1 is 70%, your M2 is 5%, and V2 is you total amount after mixing. Using those three numbers, you can calculate V1, the amount of 70% solution to be added.
To get V1, multiply V2 by 5% and divide the answer you get by 70%.
I hope this gives a rough estimate. -

Controlled release of solutes is an interesting subject. I’m developing a composite to manage the release salts for a different application. We probably should exchange some notes.

May add cocoa butter and a salt (table salt or sodium lactate) to the formula to get a hard bar.

It does have a unique but faint smell. On the flip, the levulinic acid smell dies down when convert it to salts such as ammonium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium levulinates.

sodium levulinate does wonders as a preservative for cosmetics.

Try sodium levulinate. It has an EWG score of 1.

Let me know if you want to recreate this formula. We can work together and see how far we go with it.
-
how about a combo of sodium levulinate and sodium anisate. I can provide both of these in 100g quantities for trial.

The skin is an amazing part of the body. It can take things in or out (sweat for instance). Although the uptake is selective and controlled, the truth of the matter is things that you expose the skin to end up in your system. As a chemist who works with chemicals, we wear long pants, lab coats, and cover our eyes just to protect the skin from direct exposure to lab chemicals.

Hey there, Chengy here from BioFuran Materials LLC. I’m synthetic chemist who used to make soaps and cleaning liquids enriched with fruit juices and essential oils. I would like to take the challenge for developing a purely safe hair dye for you. Let’s talk.
