Silicone-Based Lubricant Formulation

Based on the ingredients you provided (Cyclomethicone, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone) and the staff's clarification, your water-free silicone lubricant formula would primarily consist of:

1. Silicone Eco-Cond (Product ID 1368): This ingredient is a combination of Cyclomethicone and Dimethiconol. It serves as the base for the lubricant, providing slip and a lightweight feel.
2. Dimethicone (Product ID 172): This ingredient is used to adjust the viscosity of the formula. You should select a Dimethicone with a viscosity that helps you achieve the desired consistency, similar to a hair serum.

Formulation Ratio:

You proposed a ratio of 50% Dimethicone (Light/100, Low-Odor) and 50% Silicone Eco-Cond. The staff confirmed that this ratio is possible. However, they noted that using a high percentage of Silicone Eco-Cond might make the product difficult to wash off, which may not be ideal for a lubricant. You may need to experiment with the ratio and Dimethicone viscosity to find the balance that provides the desired feel and washability.

Safety and Latex Interaction:

• Safety: Silicones are generally considered safe for topical use, but individuals with sensitivities might experience allergic reactions. They are not typically irritating.
• Latex Interaction: Silicones can potentially degrade latex over time, causing it to stretch or swell. However, for typical usage durations (e.g., less than 1 hour), this is unlikely to be a significant issue. It is recommended to test the finished formula's interaction with latex by soaking a sample to observe any changes over different time periods.

You mentioned you will try mixing the formula. Please feel free to ask if you encounter any issues during your experimentation.
