Adding Shimmer Powder to Liquid/Gel Formula: Settling Issue
Question
I am formulating a liquid/gel product, specifically a "Double Hyaluron liquid". I would like to add shimmer powder to it. Will the shimmer powder dissolve in this type of formulation? Will it settle at the bottom over time?
Answer
Regarding adding shimmer powder to your Double Hyaluron liquid formulation, based on the information provided, shimmer powder will not dissolve. The purpose of shimmer is to remain as fine particles to provide a glittering effect on the skin.
In a liquid formulation like the one you described, the shimmer particles are likely to settle at the bottom over time. As suggested in the replies, you can address this by:
1. Thickening the formula to help suspend the particles.
2. Instructing users to shake the product well before each use to redistribute the shimmer.
