If I am unable to source the encapsulated one, could I not dissolve the resveratrol in the Butylene Glycol? Apologies, I thought this was considered a solvent.
If I were to change out the Polymeric emulsifier with a non-ionic one, would this then allow me to include it within the formulation? I was looking at the combination below:
Glyceryl Stearate Citrate 1.50%Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate (TEGO® Care PS) 2.00%Would the squalane provide enough occlusive property or would you suggest something else?

My above reply did not include my full text.
This is what I had written:
- Resveratrol
I would really like to include this within the formulation. I see there have been three options suggested above, the first being the Tagra CelluCap™ Resveratrol which is added during the end cooldown process at a usage rate of 1-4%. I would prefer this approach but I see there may only be one supplier I am able to obtain it through and I have emailed them as it doesn’t seem as readily available to DIYers. If not, perhaps I could look at the Ethanol route, which is another suggestion? Or the third suggestion of dissolving it within a surfactant emulsifier. Maybe in the Hydroxyethyl Acrylate?
- Sodium PCA
Ok, this brings me sadness. I would love nothing more than to include this. Is there anyway around this?
- Squalane
Is it possible to include this at 2%? Or the increase in Jojoba Oil to replace this aspect? I see you included glycerin as well, was this in place of the Squalane or can the two be used in the above suggested formula?
Thank you so so much!

I will definitely be doing the airless pump rout either way.
I thought it was the safest way to keep bacteria and other bits out.

Wow! Just wow. Thank you so much for taking the time to go through my formula but also, to explain and suggest a better solution. I am in no way clued up on chemistry and this is my learning beginning, but I did try do my due diligence before trying to piece together a formula and posting here, so kindly excuse my ignorance.
If I may, could I ask you to kindly entertain a few of my questions? I did try research each of the items you suggested to understand the use, purpose and so on.
- Resveratrol
If I may start with the Resveratrol. I would very much like to consider including this and have taken the advice of those above and would like to know if I could possibly include this within the above formulation. There seems to be three suggestions above, one to include it at the end of formulation if I used Tagra’s CelluCap Resveratrol (thanks for this @DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ!). I would prefer this approach but I see there may only be one supplier I am able to obtain it through and I have emailed them as it doesn’t seem as readily available to DIYers. If not, perhaps I could look at the Ethanol route, which is another suggestion? Or the third suggestion of dissolving it within a surfactant emulsifier. Maybe in the Hydroxyethyl Acrylate?
- Sodium PCA
Ok, this brings me sadness. I would love nothing more than to include this. Is there anyway around this?
- Squalane
Can we not include this at 2% (thanks for your input @Sylarana!)? Was the increase in Jojoba Oil to replace this aspect? I see you included glycerin as well, was this in place of the Squalane or can the two be used in the above suggested formula?
Thank you so so much!

Hi Belassi! The Resveratrol I was looking at says the following: Use: Comes in powder form. Add at the end of the formulation process and mixed very well, can also be added to the water phase of a formulas. Can also be added to an already made cream. I haven’t experimented, I am going down that route to create the cream but wanted to start off on the right foot.
