Improving Slip in Matte Liquid Lip Formulations

If your matte liquid lip formula is too thick and difficult to apply, you can improve its texture and spreadability by incorporating ingredients that add slip and reduce tackiness.

One suitable ingredient for this purpose is PPG-17 (Polypropylene Glycol). Based on its properties, PPG-17 acts as a skin conditioning agent and emollient. It can help improve the texture of cosmetic products, contributing to a smooth feel on the skin and aiding in softening and smoothing. Adding PPG-17 can make the liquid lip feel less thick and glide on more easily.

Usage Rate: PPG-17 can typically be used at a rate of 1-20% in formulations (do not exceed 50%). You can start with a lower percentage and adjust as needed to achieve the desired texture and slip.

By incorporating PPG-17, you can help make your matte liquid lip formula smoother and easier to apply.
