How can I modify a physical sunscreen formula for body application by adding powder and color? Specifically, I want to achieve a creamy pink color that helps the skin look whiter using White Oxides EasyMix™, Red Iron Oxides EasyMix™, and Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix™. What is the typical usage rate for these color powders, and what is the recommended mixing procedure?

Answer

Modifying Physical Sunscreen for Body with Color

Yes, you can modify a physical sunscreen formula for body application and add powder and color to it. The amount of powder and color to add depends on the desired shade, but typically the usage rate for these color powders is 1-20% of the total formula.

To achieve a creamy pink color that helps the skin look whiter, you can use a combination of color powders. Based on the previous suggestions, you can use:

  • White Oxides EasyMix™
  • Red Iron Oxides EasyMix™
  • Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix™

You can start by adding a small amount of Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix™ to get a base flesh tone. Then, gradually add Red Iron Oxides EasyMix™ and White Oxides EasyMix™ little by little, mixing thoroughly each time, until you achieve the desired creamy pink shade that provides the whitening effect you want. The EasyMix™ versions of these color powders are treated for easy dispersion in formulas, making them easier to incorporate.

Remember to mix the color powders into the sunscreen base after it has been fully formulated.
