Substitute for Warp Cream Maker in Water Drop Cream

You're looking for a substitute for Warp Cream Maker for your water drop cream formula, as it's currently unavailable. Warp Cream Maker is a water-in-oil emulsifier that helps create a light, fast-absorbing cream with a smooth, powdery feel on the skin. It's often used in makeup bases, sunscreens, and light creams.

Based on the staff's recommendation, you can try using Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye) as an alternative. This base is designed to create a light, soft, and smooth serum texture that absorbs quickly.

Suggested Test Formula (from staff):

To test if Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye) can give you a similar texture, the staff suggests starting with a small batch using:

• Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye): 15%
• Water: 85%

Mix these together and observe the texture. This base mixes well with water and water-soluble ingredients, but it cannot bind oils.

Adjusting the Texture:

The staff provided guidance on how to adjust the consistency of the test formula:

• To make it thinner: Reduce the amount of water and increase the amount of Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye), or add Cyclopentasiloxane.
• To make it thicker: Reduce the amount of water (ensure Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye) is at least 10% in the formula). If it's still not thick enough, you can replace some of the water with Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky).
• To make it more slippery: Add Cyclopentasiloxane or Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky) instead of some of the water.

Your original formula also included Cyclopentasiloxane, Silicone Gel Base (Ultra Clear) (which is similar to Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky)), and LipidSoft. These ingredients contribute to the feel and spreadability of the cream. You may need to experiment with incorporating these into the new base system based on the staff's adjustment guidelines to achieve your desired water drop effect.

Remember to always test in small quantities when trying new formulations or substitutions.
