Question
I would like to create a cream with a texture that looks thick but feels light and smooth, similar to a "satin mousse". What ingredients or methods can help achieve this specific texture?
Answer
Ingredients that can help create a thick yet light texture in a cream, similar to a "satin mousse", often include silicone-based ingredients and certain powders.
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane: This is a powder ingredient that provides a soft, smooth, and silky feel to formulations. It helps improve spreadability and can give a soft-focus effect on the skin.
- Silicone Gel: These opaque gels are excellent for increasing the spreadability of a product while providing a soft, smooth, light, and non-sticky touch. They can also help give the skin a soft or matte appearance.
These types of ingredients are commonly used to achieve the desired texture that is thick in appearance but feels light and smooth upon application.
