Question
I want to add fragrance (like Mint & Easy Dior's Eau Sauvage) to a formula containing Titanium Dioxide powder and Cyclomethicone/Dimethicone.
1. Can fragrance be mixed with Cyclomethicone/Dimethicone?
2. If not, what base can I use instead that will help disperse the Titanium Dioxide powder and also dissolve the fragrance?
3. How should I mix the ingredients in the recommended alternative base?
Answer
Based on the staff's replies:
Regarding your question about adding fragrance (like Mint & Easy Dior's Eau Sauvage) to the recommended formula (Titanium Dioxide + Cyclomethicone/Dimethicone):
- Fragrance cannot be mixed directly with Cyclomethicone or Dimethicone. They will separate.
- If you want to add fragrance, the staff recommends replacing Cyclomethicone/Dimethicone with Reed Diffuser Base.
- Reed Diffuser Base can help disperse the Titanium Dioxide powder and also dissolve the fragrance.
- You can mix all ingredients (Titanium Dioxide, Reed Diffuser Base, and fragrance) together.
- Remember to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the powder is evenly dispersed.
The staff's advice addresses the compatibility issue and provides an alternative base that works with fragrance.
