  • Isododecane

  • Silk Mica Powder (Mica Powder Matte)
  • สี easymix

Answer

Yes, you can substitute Oil Film (Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene) with Silicone Film (Long-Wear, Hard, Isododecane Base) in this matte liquid lipstick formula.

As the staff mentioned, the texture might be different, but both ingredients function similarly as film formers to help the product last longer on the skin.

The ingredients mentioned in the formula are:

  • Isododecane (ID 228)
  • Microcrystalline Wax (ID 616)
  • Oil Film (Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene) (ID 1078) - This is the one you asked about replacing.
  • Silk Mica Powder (Mica Powder Matte) (ID 291)
  • สี easymix (easymix color) (ID 81)

The proposed substitute is:

  • Silicone Film (Long-Wear, Hard, Isododecane Base) (Trimethylsiloxysilicate Isododecane Film) (ID 1311)
