High-Quality Lightweight Loose Powder Formula

Here is a sample formula for a high-quality, lightweight, and smooth loose powder, along with detailed mixing instructions.

Sample Formula

• Sericite Powder (CompactPro™, Matte, Dimethicone Coated): 40%
• Mica Powder (9 Micron, Silane Coated): 30%
• Talc Powder (Non-Coated, 2000 Mesh): 20%
• Magnesium Myristate (For Make-up) or Magnesium Stearate: 10%

Total: 100%

• Note: You can adjust the percentages slightly based on desired feel and coverage. Using coated powders like the Sericite CompactPro™ and Silane Coated Mica helps achieve a smoother, silkier texture and better spreadability.*

Detailed Mixing Instructions

1. Weighing: Accurately weigh each powder ingredient according to the percentages in the formula.
2. Combining: Place all weighed powder ingredients into a clean, dry container suitable for mixing powders.
3. Mixing: Mix the powders thoroughly. For small batches, a mortar and pestle can be used to grind and blend the powders until homogeneous. For larger batches, a cosmetic powder blender or mill is recommended. The goal is to ensure all ingredients are evenly dispersed and there are no clumps.
4. Sieving (Optional but Recommended): For an extra fine and smooth texture, pass the mixed powder through a fine sieve.
5. Packaging: Carefully transfer the finished loose powder into its final packaging.

This formula utilizes fine powders like Sericite, Mica, and very fine Talc for a lightweight feel and smooth application, while Magnesium Myristate or Magnesium Stearate helps the powder adhere to the skin and improves texture.
