I have a sunscreen formulation with the following ingredients: Silicone Phase: 1. Warp Cream Maker 10% 2. Zinc Oxide 200nm EasyDisperse™ 10% 3. Cyclopentasiloxane (Low-Odor Cyclomethicone) 10% 4. Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear) 20% 5. PMMA Booster 5% Water Phase: 1. Titanium Dioxide Pigment 1% (intended for HEV light protection) 2. mild preservative 1% 3. Remaining Water Color adjusted with Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix™ and Yellow Iron Oxides EasyMix™ according to skin tone. I would like to ask the staff the following questions: 1. Is this combination of sunscreen ingredients okay? Should anything be adjusted or added? 2. In the staff's opinion, can this formula potentially achieve SPF 30 PA+++? (assuming Titanium Dioxide Pigment is not included) 3. If I add Titanium Dioxide Pigment 1%, can it protect against HEV light? Are there other ingredients you would recommend? (I'm using only 1% because I don't want it to be too white). If it doesn't help, is it okay to remove it from the formula without any problems? 4. This Titanium Dioxide Pigment is not coated. Will it disperse well in this sunscreen formula when mixed? 5. Is it necessary to heat the ingredients before mixing? Thank you.
