Silicone-based Formula with Water Drop Texture
Question
Will this formula result in a texture that creates water drops when applied?
Formula:
1. Special Clear Silicone Gel 70 g
2. Titanium Dioxide Nano 25 g
3. Zinc Oxide Nano 25 g
4. Silicone Emulsifier 5 g
5. Beige Iron Oxides Easymix 5 g (depending on desired color)
6. Preservative 5 g
7. Distilled Water/Clean Water 120 g
Answer
Based on the ingredients provided, especially the combination of a silicone base (Special Clear Silicone Gel), a silicone emulsifier (Silicone Emulsifier), and water (Distilled/Clean Water), this formulation is designed to create a water-in-silicone emulsion.
Water-in-silicone emulsions are known for their unique texture where the water phase is dispersed within the continuous silicone phase. When applied to the skin, the silicone phase spreads easily, and the internal water phase is released, often creating a sensation or appearance of "water drops" or a "water break" effect.
Therefore, yes, this formula is likely to result in a texture that exhibits the "water drop" effect when applied.
