Adding Foundation Color to Sunscreen Formula
To add foundation color to your sunscreen formula, you can incorporate cosmetic pigments. These pigments help adjust the cream's color to match skin tone and can add coverage properties.
Based on the product information found, there are interesting special pigments called Color Changing Pigment. These pigments change color when applied to the skin and are available in several shades, such as:
- Color Changing Pigment - White to Yellow (Foundation / Make-up)
- Color Changing Pigment - White to Red (Foundation / Make-up)
- Color Changing Pigment - White to Black (Foundation / Make-up)
- Color Changing Pigment - White to Beige No.3 (Foundation / Make-up)
These pigments are specifically designed for use in cream foundation formulas.
How to Incorporate into Your Formula:
- Pigment Preparation: These pigments are powders and should be dispersed in the oil or silicone phase of your formula before combining with other ingredients.
- Mixing: During the mixing process, it is recommended to use a Disperse Head mixer to help distribute the pigments evenly. Avoid using a Homogenizer head as it may cause the Color Changing Pigment to break and alter its color.
- Usage Rate: It is best to start with a low percentage, such as 0.1-0.5%, and gradually increase the amount to achieve the desired color and intensity. The typical usage rate is between 0.1-5%.
You can choose a Color Changing Pigment shade that is close to the desired skin tone or mix different shades slightly to create the most suitable color.
