    Hello! Thank you for your response. My company has given me a lot of niacinamide because they are expanding into another line of business, and I’m thinking of ways to use it. I saw that I could start my formulating journey with body oils, so I’m considering using it in that way.

    I apologize for not being specific earlier. I would like to use synthetic fragrance.

    Hello! This is the recent formulation that I’ve tried. Still, it has a mushy and moist consistency that why I tried to save it by adding stearic acid (3%) it hardens a bit, but the surface is still moist.

    SCI -30%

    CAPB- 17%

    BTMS- 3%

    cetyl alcohol-2%

    argan oil-5%

    slsa-34%

    gugo bark-2.5%

    sodium lactate-2%

    salicylic acid-2%

    panthenol-1%

    fragrance-1%

    liquid germall- 0.5 %

    + the 3% stearic acid that I tried adding to save this batch.

    Hello! I actually want this to be for whitening/ treatment for hyperpigmentation, which is why I would like to include niacinamide and licorice extract.

    Regarding the synthetic fragrance, I just thought the fragrance oil I have would work well in my body oil. However, after considering everyone’s suggestions, I believe it’s best to reduce the percentage of the fragrance and opt for essential oils instead.

    Thank you so much for your response! Is there a way to incorporate niacinamide into this formulation?
