Dermatix Ultra Formulation Questions

Regarding your questions about the Dermatix Ultra formulation:

Polymethylsilsesquioxane and Gel Clarity

Polymethylsilsesquioxane is indeed a white powder. However, it is available in various particle sizes, including very fine ones (like 2 microns or 4.5 microns). When a powder with a very small particle size is dispersed evenly in a clear base, such as a silicone gel, at a low concentration (like the 2% in the formula you provided), the particles are too small to scatter light significantly. This allows the overall mixture to remain clear or translucent, rather than appearing opaque white like the powder itself. The key is the fine particle size and proper dispersion within the silicone matrix.

Adding Rose Hip Oil for Scar Reduction

Rose Hip Oil is known for its skin repair properties and ability to help reduce the appearance of scars. The product description indicates it can be used at a rate of 1-100% in cosmetic formulations, mixed into the oil phase. For targeting scar reduction after surgery, you would typically use a concentration that provides a noticeable effect. While you can use it up to 100% as a pure oil, a concentration in the range of 5-20% is often sufficient and commonly used in formulations aimed at skin repair and scar improvement. You can adjust the percentage within the 1-100% range based on desired feel and efficacy, keeping in mind that higher concentrations may increase the oiliness of the final product.
