Innovative Skincare Formulations with Oil-Fix™ W

Oil-Fix™ W (Silica Dimethyl Silylate) is a versatile ingredient that can significantly enhance the stability, texture, and performance of water-in-oil or water-in-silicone skincare and makeup formulations. Its unique properties allow for the creation of innovative products with a desirable matte, non-sticky finish and improved waterproof capabilities.

Here are some unique skincare ideas leveraging Oil-Fix™ W:

• Matte, Waterproof Sunscreen/Primer Hybrid: Create a sunscreen that doubles as a makeup primer. Oil-Fix™ W can help stabilize the water-in-oil emulsion, provide a matte finish, reduce stickiness, and enhance the waterproof properties, making it perfect for long-lasting wear under makeup.
• Transforming Oil-Gel Cleanser/Makeup Remover: Formulate an oil-based cleanser that has a gel-like consistency. Upon application, it can melt into an oil to effectively dissolve makeup and impurities, then rinse cleanly without a greasy residue. Oil-Fix™ W helps thicken the oil phase into a stable gel and contributes to the non-greasy feel.
• Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer/BB Cream with Matte Finish: Develop a tinted skincare product that offers light coverage, hydration, and a beautiful matte finish. Oil-Fix™ W assists in dispersing pigments evenly and provides a dry, non-tacky feel, ideal for oily or combination skin types.
• Solid/Stick Serum or Balm: Utilize Oil-Fix™ W to create a concentrated serum or balm in a convenient stick format. This allows for targeted application and a unique user experience. Oil-Fix™ W helps solidify the oil phase while maintaining a smooth, non-greasy application.

Oil-Fix™ W is excellent for adjusting the texture of your formulas to be drier and less sticky, improving waterproof performance, and helping to distribute pigments evenly. It's particularly effective in water-in-oil or water-in-silicone systems, allowing you to achieve high oil levels that might otherwise be challenging.
