    here is the product I purchased …I guess it was a waste of money to make facial serums with this A.L.A. … my serums include *vit C (I grind the powder to make it more soluble)*..DMAE …hyaluronic acid and add some vegetable glycerin and a few drops of essential oils …

    It’s soluble in glycols. I solubilised 5% in propanediol. It required 20 minutes mixing on the magnetic stirrer without heating.

    …A MAGNETIC STIRRER ?

    6 mL of ALA, did you mean 6 g? 

    If so, 6 mL or 6 g, in 30 mL of water will give you a 17% solution, not 5%.

    Emulsions work well in solubilizing the otherwise water-insoluble ALA, most commercial formulations with lipoic acid are, in fact, emulsions of some kind. 

    yes I’m measuring by volume and not weight… 17% !!!! ooops  ..I think I’m gonna have to run all mixtures with you all ..lol
