Question
Based on the understanding that primer primarily works by coating the skin with silicone to improve makeup adherence and blur pores, I would like to know:
- Does your company offer ingredients suitable for making a primer?
- Can I add Dimethicone to any cream base, specifically one that already contains sunscreen ingredients? How does compatibility work in this case?
An example formulation I am considering is:
- Dimethicone (Light, Low-Odor) 15%
- Other nourishing ingredients ...%
- Light Cream Maker 1%
- Distilled Water Rest

The general principle is to add Dimethicone to a cream base.
