Liquid Matte Kiss-Proof Lipstick Formulation using Warp Cream Maker
Question
I am developing a liquid lipstick formula aiming for a matte, kiss-proof finish. I am considering using Warp Cream Maker. Could you provide guidance on formulating this product, including a base formula structure and mixing process? Specifically, I'd like to understand how to incorporate ingredients like Cyclomethicone, Silicone Gel, and Warp Cream Maker in Phase A, and water-soluble ingredients, preservatives, and potentially Magnesium Sulfate in Phase B, to achieve the desired texture and properties. What are the recommended mixing steps?
Answer
Liquid Lipstick / Matte Kiss-Proof Lipstick Formula
To create a liquid lipstick, especially one with a matte and potentially "kiss-proof" finish, you can use an emulsifier like Warp Cream Maker which is suitable for creating a smooth, non-liquid texture for lip products.
Here is an example formulation structure based on the use of Warp Cream Maker:
- Phase A (Oil/Silicone Phase):
- Cyclomethicone: 30%
- Silicone Gel: 5%
- Warp Cream Maker: 8%
- Optional: Add pigments/colorants and powders (like matte powders or fillers) to this phase.
- Phase B (Water Phase):
- Water and water-soluble ingredients (e.g., humectants, film-formers for kiss-proof property) to complete 100%
- Preservative: 1%
- Optional: Add Magnesium Sulfate (approx. 1%) to the water phase for improved stability in Water-in-Oil emulsions.
Mixing Process:
- Combine ingredients from Phase A and blend until homogeneous. If using waxes or solid oils, gently heat Phase A to melt them before blending.
- Combine ingredients from Phase B and blend until homogeneous.
- While continuously blending Phase A (requires a blender at at least 1000 rpm), gradually add Phase B to Phase A little by little until fully incorporated.
This base formula provides a good texture for a liquid lip product. To enhance the matte finish and "kiss-proof" property, you would typically need to incorporate specific film-forming polymers and matte-effect powders into the formulation.
