Improving Liquid Foundation Performance: Preventing Darkening and Oiliness
Question
How can a liquid foundation formulation be improved to prevent darkening (oxidation) and control oiliness throughout the day?
Answer
Thank you for your interest in our Liquid Foundation (Color No.1, Compare to Estee). We're glad you like the product!
Regarding your request for the exact formula and proportions, please understand that the specific formulation of our products is proprietary business information and cannot be shared.
However, we understand you are experiencing issues with the foundation darkening during the day and becoming oily. These are common challenges in foundation formulation.
We can offer some general advice on how to address these issues in a liquid foundation:
- Preventing Darkening (Oxidation): This can often be caused by pigment oxidation or interaction with skin oils. Using treated pigments or incorporating antioxidants in the formula can help.
- Controlling Oiliness: Incorporating oil-absorbing powders (like silica, starch derivatives, or specific polymers) and film-forming agents can help absorb excess sebum and provide a more matte finish throughout the day.
