Clarification on Matte Lip Cream Ingredient

Based on the forum discussion and the staff's clarification, the correct ingredient for the matte lip cream formula at 13% is Silicone Gel, not Matrixyl 3000.

The link error that previously directed to Matrixyl 3000 was a system issue that has since been corrected.

• Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky) (Product ID 201) is an ultra-clear silicone gel designed to improve the texture of cosmetic products. It helps increase spreadability, provides a soft, smooth, and light feel, and can give the skin a soft, glowing (matt) look. It is suitable for formulas like liquid foundation, BB, CC, and Cushion creams where blurring and easy spreading are desired.

• Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR (eq Matrixyl 3000) (Product ID 51) is a peptide blend known as Matrixyl 3000. Its primary function is in anti-aging products, helping to stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity. It is not typically used at high concentrations (like 13%) in a lip cream formula for texture purposes, unlike Silicone Gel.

Therefore, the staff's confirmation that Silicone Gel is the correct ingredient for achieving the desired texture in the matte lip cream formula is accurate.
