Modifying Basic Sunscreen Formula for Silk/Powdery Texture and Foundation Properties

Hello,

Regarding the Hybrid Sunscreen formula you provided, which consists of Distilled Water, Spf Protect Ultra, Light Cream Maker, and Phenoxyethanol, this is a basic formula focused on sun protection and creating a light cream texture.

To make a "silk sunscreen" with a smooth, powdery feel like applying powder and incorporating foundation properties, you would need to modify and add other ingredients. The basic formula provided does not contain ingredients that provide the "silk" or powdery texture, nor does it contain color pigments for foundation.

Ingredients commonly used to achieve a smooth, slippery, powdery, or "silk" texture include:

• Powders: Such as Silica, Talc, Starch derivatives (e.g., Corn Starch Modified), Nylon-12, Boron Nitride, which help absorb oil, provide a dry-slip feel, and can help blur imperfections.
• Silicones: Such as Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, which help the product spread easily, feel smooth, and create a thin film on the skin.
• Other Texturizers: Some specific texturizing agents can provide a unique silk-like feel.

Furthermore, to make it a foundation sunscreen, you would need to add:

• Pigments: Such as Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides (Yellow, Red, Black) to achieve the desired foundation shade.
• Dispersing Agents: To help the pigments disperse well in the cream base and prevent clumping.

Therefore, using the basic Hybrid Sunscreen formula as provided cannot directly result in a silk sunscreen with a powdery feel and foundation properties. You would need to develop a new formula by adding the ingredient groups mentioned above and conduct thorough testing to achieve the desired texture, while also ensuring the sun protection efficacy (SPF) and formula stability.

Modifying a formula to achieve a specific texture and adding foundation pigments is a relatively complex process that requires knowledge and experience in cosmetic formulation development.
