Question
Based on the previous discussion and the provided example formulation for mineral makeup (diy-mineral-makeup-t1295.html), what specific ingredients can be used as binders to help the powder adhere together for pressing into a pressed powder form?
Answer
Ingredients for Pressed Powder Binder
To make pressed powder stick together, you can use binding agents (binders) as discussed previously. Common ingredients for this purpose include:
- Butylene Glycol: A solvent that can help bind ingredients.
- Dimethicone: Various viscosities of Dimethicone can be used. Dimethicone (Medium/350, Low-Odor) is specifically mentioned as suitable for pressing powder so that the powder can stick together.
When using these binders, only a small amount is needed to help the powder particles adhere to each other before pressing.
