Silicone Tester Discontinued and Alternative Recommendation

The silicone tester product has been discontinued. The company is phasing out tester products to encourage customers to mix their own formulations, which can be more cost-effective, and also due to high lab workload.

As an alternative for creating a light-textured product similar to a serum, the staff recommends using Warp Cream Maker.

Warp Cream Maker is an emulsifier (specifically water-in-oil/silicone) that helps create creams, lotions, and serums with a light, fast-absorbing texture that leaves a smooth, dry, powder-like feel on the skin. It is suitable for formulations like ultra-light serums, light creams/lotions, makeup bases (BB, foundation, cushion), and sunscreens.

Mixing your own serum using Warp Cream Maker is designed to be easy, requiring only basic tools like a glass cup, spoon, and scale, as mentioned by the staff.

There are two types available:

• Warp Cream Maker (Normal type): Suitable for bonding water in silicone.
• Warp Cream Maker XL (Special type): Can bond both oil and silicone in water, suitable for more complex formulas containing both oil and silicone.

Mixing instructions are available in the product details for Warp Cream Maker.
