Question
I am looking for a lightweight sunscreen formula suitable for acne-prone, easily clogged, combination skin that provides SPF 50+ and PA++++ protection. Could you please provide a suitable formulation and the mixing steps?
Answer
Based on the discussion, the staff recommended a formula for a lightweight sunscreen suitable for acne-prone, easily clogged, combination skin that provides SPF 50+ and PA++++ protection.
Here is the suggested formula:
- Water: Remaining (approx. 82.5%)
- SPF Protect Ultra II: 10%
- Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (Nano): 5%
- Mild Preserved Eco: 1%
- Satin Cream Maker: 1.5%
Mixing Steps:
- Combine Water, Mild Preserved Eco, and Satin Cream Maker. Add Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (Nano) and blend until uniform. Heat this mixture to 70°C.
- Heat SPF Protect Ultra II to 70°C.
- Slowly add the hot mixture from step 1 into the hot SPF Protect Ultra II from step 2 while stirring until fully combined.
This formula uses modern sunscreen filters designed to provide high protection while aiming for a lighter texture compared to formulas heavy in physical filters or oil-soluble chemical filters requiring significant solvents.
