MAKE UP FIX SPRAY Formulation with VP/VA Copolymer

Yes, you can use VP/VA Copolymer (60/40, Powder) in a MAKE UP FIX SPRAY formulation. This ingredient acts as a film former, helping to create a light film on the skin that can help hold makeup in place and improve its longevity.

The product description indicates that VP/VA Copolymer can be used in various styling products, including sprays. While the description specifically mentions that the VP/VA Copolymer (30/70, Liquid) is suitable for hair styling spray products, the 60/40 powder version can also be incorporated into spray formulations, acting as a standard-hold film former.

Regarding the usage percentage, the general recommended rate provided for VP/VA Copolymer in styling products like gels, creams, mousses, or lotions is 3-5%. This can serve as a starting point for your MAKE UP FIX SPRAY formulation using the 60/40 powder. However, the optimal percentage for a makeup fix spray might vary depending on the desired hold, feel, and other ingredients in your specific formula. It is recommended to start within this range and adjust based on testing.

When using the powder form, ensure it is properly dissolved or dispersed in the water phase of your formulation to avoid clogging the spray mechanism.
