Sunscreen Base for Lightweight Texture (similar to DD Cream)

To create a sunscreen base with a lightweight texture similar to DD Cream SPF50, you can consider the following options and ingredients:

• Pre-made Sunscreen Bases:

  • Pure Physical Sunscreen (SPF50+, PA3+, Water-in-Oil, Non-White): This is a pre-formulated physical sunscreen base with SPF50+. It has a special liquid texture that is light on the skin, which could be a good starting point.
  • Clear Sprayable Sunscreen (Super Light, SPF40): This is another pre-formulated base with a clear, super light, non-sticky liquid texture. While SPF40, it provides a very light feel.

• Ingredient for Water-Break Texture:

  • WaterBreaker™ (e.q. Supersil 5500, WaterDropSil): This ingredient is specifically designed to create the "water break" effect, where water droplets appear when the cream is spread on the skin. This effect is common in lightweight, refreshing formulations like some DD creams and serums.

• Ingredients to Enhance Texture and Feel:

  • Sponge Gel: This gel-building substance absorbs a large amount of water and releases it upon application, providing an immediate refreshing feel. It can be used to enhance the texture.
  • LipidSoft™ SPF: This emollient helps dissolve chemical sunscreens and reduces stickiness, improving the overall feel of the formulation.

Depending on whether you want a physical or chemical sunscreen, and how much customization you need, you can choose a pre-made base or build your formula using ingredients like WaterBreaker™ to achieve the desired lightweight, refreshing texture.
