คำถาม

My lotion made with E Wax has a dry and tacky texture. Can I add `Cyclomethicone` to this existing lotion to improve the texture? If so, what percentage should I use?

คำตอบ

Based on the conversation, the staff has confirmed that you can add silicone to your existing lotion.

Here's a summary of the key points from the staff's reply:

  • The dry/tacky texture is likely due to using E Wax, which is better suited for cold and dry climates.
  • For future formulations, they recommend using LotionBliss or Light Cream Maker as emulsifiers.
  • Regarding adding silicone to your current lotion, the staff stated that you can use Cyclomethicone at a level of 5-10%.
  • However, they also noted that silicone is generally not recommended as some people may be sensitive to it, and many users prefer to avoid it.

So, yes, you can add Cyclomethicone at 5-10% to your existing lotion to potentially improve the texture, but be aware of the staff's caution regarding silicone use.
