Foaming Issue with Bubble Max Mask and Dimethicone 1Secs Alternative

Subject: Regarding the Bubble Max formula and foaming effect

Hello,

Regarding the formula you provided using Bubble Max:

1. Can this formula be used as a mask and stored in a jar?
   Yes, the formula can be applied as a mask. However, storing it in a standard jar is the reason the foaming effect diminishes.
2. Why did the foaming stop after the first use when stored in a jar?
   The foaming effect from Bubble Max is caused by a gas contained within the ingredient. When stored in a non-airtight container like a jar, this gas evaporates over time, causing the foaming ability to decrease significantly after the container is opened or left standing.
   To maintain the foaming effect when using Bubble Max, it is crucial to store the product in an airtight container that prevents gas from escaping.
3. Can Dimethicone 1Secs be used instead?
   Yes, as suggested by the staff, Dimethicone 1Secs can be used as a replacement for Bubble Max.
   • Usage Rate: Use Dimethicone 1Secs at the same percentage (5%) as you used Bubble Max in your formula.
   • Mixing Procedure: Add Dimethicone 1Secs in the final step of your formulation, just like you would with Bubble Max.
     
     Dimethicone 1Secs provides a similar foaming sensation and is a more cost-effective alternative.

In summary, while your formula can be used as a mask, the loss of foaming with Bubble Max in a jar is due to evaporation. Use an airtight container for Bubble Max or substitute it with Dimethicone 1Secs for a similar effect and easier storage.
