Cleaning Containers Used for Silicone-Based Sunscreen

Hello,

It is indeed difficult to clean containers used for making silk sunscreen, especially due to the high content of silicone and oils.

The reason it's hard to wash off with regular dish soap or alcohol is primarily the silicone. To effectively clean the residue, you should use a solvent that can dissolve silicone.

Here are the suggested methods:

• Method 1: Use Silicone Oil as a Solvent

  • Use a silicone oil like Dimethicone or Cyclomethicone.
  • Soak a cloth with the silicone oil and wipe the residue from the containers.
  • Note that this method might be more expensive than using dish soap.

• Method 2: Use Highly Concentrated Dish Soap

  • Use a dish soap that is specially concentrated.
  • This can also effectively clean the residue, although it might require a higher amount and concentration than normal dishwashing.

We hope this helps!
