Answer

Based on the ingredients you provided and the staff's instructions, here are the steps to mix your CC cream:

Ingredients:

  • Water: Remaining percentage (approx. 64%)
  • Cyclomethicone: 15%
  • Titanium Dioxide 200nm EasyDisperse: 5%
  • Zinc Oxide: 5%
  • ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE: 5%
  • SiliSolve Plus: 1%
  • Silicone Film (Long-Wear, Hard): 1%
  • Polypropylsilsesquioxane: 1%
  • Oil-Fix: 1%
  • Silk Talc Powder: 1%
  • Nylon-12: 1%

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Weighing: Accurately weigh all ingredients according to your desired batch size and the percentages listed.
  2. Combine Phase 1: In a mixing container, combine all ingredients except the Water. This includes Cyclomethicone, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, SiliSolve Plus, Silicone Film, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Oil-Fix, Silk Talc Powder, and Nylon-12.
  3. Mix Phase 1: Mix this phase thoroughly until all ingredients, especially the powders (Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Silk Talc Powder, Nylon-12), are well dispersed and the mixture is homogeneous.
  4. Start Blending: Begin blending the mixture from Step 3 using a high-speed mixer or homogenizer at a speed of at least 1000 rpm.
  5. Add Water Gradually: While continuously blending at high speed, slowly add the Water (Phase 2) to the mixture in small increments. This gradual addition is crucial for forming a stable water-in-oil emulsion.
  6. Continue Blending: After all the Water has been added, continue blending at high speed for several minutes to ensure the emulsion is stable and uniform.
  7. Final Check: Once blending is complete, check the consistency and appearance of your CC cream.

Please ensure you are working in a clean environment and using sanitized equipment.
