Adjusting Viscosity of Liquid Matte Lipstick
Question
How can I adjust the formula for a liquid matte lipstick that turned out too liquidy?
Answer
Thank you for providing your liquid matte lipstick formula.
Based on the ingredients and percentages you provided, it seems the formula is too liquidy.
However, I cannot analyze your specific formula or provide precise adjustment recommendations using the tools available to me. Adjusting the viscosity of a cosmetic formulation requires careful consideration of all ingredients, their interactions, and extensive testing.
Generally, to increase the viscosity or structure of a liquid lipstick formula based on Isododecane, you might consider:
- Increasing the percentage of the solid structuring agent, such as Microcrystalline Wax.
- Adding a suitable thickener or gelling agent that is compatible with Isododecane.
Any adjustments should be made incrementally and thoroughly tested.
For precise guidance tailored to your specific formula, it is best to consult with a cosmetic chemist or a formulation expert.
