Serum Texture with SiliSolve and Silicone, Blending Requirement

Asked by: apple_bangkok On: December 25, 2016 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

If I want to create a serum formulation using `SiliSolve`, `Cyclomethicone`, and `Silicone Gel`, what kind of texture can I expect the serum to have? Is it necessary to use a blender for this formulation process?

Answer

Based on your planned serum formulation, particularly the inclusion of SiliSolve, the texture you will get is expected to be light and slippery. As mentioned by the staff, formulations using SiliSolve typically result in a serum that feels thin and smooth, and releases water upon spreading on the skin. This is different from the thick, viscous texture of many commercial serums. The combination of Cyclomethicone and Silicone Gel also contributes to a smooth, silicone-like feel. Please note that using SiliSolve requires a blender to properly create the emulsion.
