Question
I am new to this platform and am looking for guidance for a glassy translucent stick formulation. Do you have any suggestions on how to get started?
Answer
Welcome to the platform! Regarding your interest in developing a glassy translucent stick formulation, based on the search results, a relevant product is the Oil Stick Base (Lipstick, Fragrances, Essential Oils).
This product is a clear solid oil base specifically designed for creating clear sticks such as clear lipsticks, fragrance sticks, or aroma sticks.
Guidelines for using Oil Stick Base in a translucent stick formulation:
- Main Ingredient: Use Oil Stick Base as the primary ingredient in your formula, typically recommended at a rate of about 70-90% of the total formula.
- Adding Oils: You can add various types of oils (especially polar oils) at a ratio of 10-30% to adjust the texture and glossiness. Examples of suitable oils include LipidSoft Disperse (as mentioned in the product description) or other compatible oils that do not reduce clarity.
- Manufacturing Process: Generally involves heating the base and oil ingredients until fully melted (recommended temperature is around 100-110°C), then pouring into containers and allowing to cool and solidify.
Using this Oil Stick Base can help you achieve a stick structure that is firm yet maintains clarity, giving you the desired glassy appearance.
