I would like to ask the team the following questions regarding my sunscreen formulation with the following ingredients: Ingredients: 1) SPF Protect Ultra 15% 2) Zinc 200nm 5% 3) Dimethicone 1secs 5% 4) Dimethicone verylight/5 10% 5) Oil-Fix W 1% 6) SiliSolve Plus 1% 7) Warp Cream Maker XL 15% 8) Mild Preserved 1% 9) Silicone Film medium,wear 5% 10) Magnesium Sulfate 1% 11) Siliperse 0.25% 12) Titanium Dioxide 200nm 1% 13) Water phase 1) If I want the sunscreen texture to be more liquid, is it suitable to increase SiliSolve Plus to 1.5-2% or Siliperse to 0.35%? Or are there any other methods to make the sunscreen more liquid without risking phase separation? 2) I want the formula to be more waterproof, to the point where it can be used for swimming. When using Silicone Film medium,wear 10% compared to Silicone Film Long,wear 10%, will the texture be significantly different? Because in the current formula, I use Medium,wear 5% which gives a satisfactory texture, but the water resistance is not good enough. 3) Using Titanium Dioxide 200nm EasyDisperse 1% results in an unnatural white look on the skin. Would using Titanium Dioxide Pigment 1% be more suitable? I only want the skin to look naturally brighter.
