Ingredients for Matte, Long-Lasting, Waterproof Liquid Lipstick

To create a matte, long-lasting, and waterproof liquid lipstick, the key ingredients are typically film-forming polymers. These polymers create a durable film on the lips that helps the product adhere well, resist water, and stay put for extended periods. As the volatile carrier evaporates, the film is left behind, contributing to the matte finish.

Some types of film-forming ingredients suitable for this application include:

• Silicone Film Formers: Such as Trimethylsiloxysilicate, often dissolved in volatile carriers like Isododecane or Cyclopentasiloxane. They provide excellent transfer resistance and longevity.
• Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene: An oil-soluble film former that helps create a long-wearing and waterproof layer.
• Acrylates Copolymers: Certain polymers in this class also offer water and wear resistance for color cosmetics.

In addition to film formers, a complete liquid lipstick formulation requires other components, including solvents (like Isododecane), pigments for color, fillers or matte agents, potentially small amounts of emollients for comfort, thickeners, and preservatives.

We can provide information on the properties and uses of these ingredient types. However, we cannot provide a complete formulation recipe with exact percentages for 0.5 kg or specific pricing information.

Here are some relevant film-forming ingredients that can help achieve the desired properties:

• Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene (Isododecane Base)
• Silicone Film (Medium-Wear, Soft)
• Silicone Film (Very Long-Wear, Hard, Cyclopentasiloxane Base)
• Silicone Film (Soft Film, Low Viscosity, Isododecane Base)
• Silicone Film (Smart-Wear, Hard, Cyclopentasiloxane Base)
• Allianz OPT (Acrylates/C12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer)
