Adjusting Sunscreen Formula for Oily Skin: Removing Vitamin B5 and Adding MatteSilica
Question
I need advice on a sunscreen formula suitable for oily skin. I had an initial formula that included Vitamin B5. Based on the expert's suggestion to remove Vitamin B5 and add MatteSilica for oil absorption, could you provide the adjusted formula and explain the reasoning? I'm looking for a formula that feels lighter and absorbs better on oily skin.
The suggested adjusted formula is:
- Distilled water: 72%
- SPF Protect Ultra: 20%
- Methylsulfonylmethane: 2.5%
- Light Cream Maker: 1.5%
- Phenoxyethanol: 1%
- MatteSilica: 3%
Please confirm if this formula is appropriate and explain the benefits of these adjustments for oily skin.
Answer
Based on your request for a sunscreen formula suitable for oily skin and the staff's recommendations, here is a suggested adjusted formula that should help reduce the oily feel and improve absorption:
Recommended Sunscreen Formula for Oily Skin:
- Distilled water: 72%
- SPF Protect Ultra: 20%
- Methylsulfonylmethane: 2.5%
- Light Cream Maker: 1.5%
- Phenoxyethanol: 1%
- MatteSilica: 3%
Explanation of Changes:
- Removed Vitamin B5: As the staff suggested, for oily skin, adding extra moisturizing ingredients like Vitamin B5 may not be necessary and can contribute to a heavier feel.
- Added MatteSilica: MatteSilica is included to help absorb excess oil on the skin throughout the day, which should make the sunscreen feel less greasy and more comfortable for oily skin types.
- Adjusted Water Percentage: The percentage of distilled water is adjusted to accommodate the removal of Vitamin B5 and the addition of MatteSilica, ensuring the total formula adds up to 100%.
This adjusted formula incorporates ingredients specifically aimed at controlling oil and should provide a lighter, less oily feel compared to formulas with higher moisturizing components or those lacking oil-absorbing ingredients.
