Answers to Your Questions about Sunscreen and Makeup Remover

Here are the answers to your questions based on the information available:

1. How to mix the new TiO2 + ZnO powder?

The new powder form of Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide can be mixed with Cyclopentasiloxane (Cyclomethicone) at a 1:1 ratio (powder:Cyclopentasiloxane) to achieve a liquid consistency similar to the previous product.

2. Will the mixed formula be difficult to wash off?

The ease of washing off depends on the concentration of the mixture used in your final product. If you find it difficult to wash off, you can reduce the amount of the mixture in your formulation.

3. Is there a simple makeup remover formula?

A simple makeup remover can be made by mixing:

• Isododecane: 60%
• Cyclopentasiloxane: 40%

This mixture can be applied to a cotton pad and used to wipe off makeup. Note that using a high concentration of Cyclopentasiloxane might cause eye irritation, although it is not typically irritating to the skin. It is recommended to mix with Isododecane as it also helps remove makeup effectively and feels very lightweight.

4. Will adding BB Micro Silk make it clog pores or harder to wash off?

Adding BB Micro Silk will not make the product clog pores or make it harder to wash off. BB Micro Silk is designed to be easy to wash off and can be removed using the simple makeup remover formula mentioned above.

5. How to color sunscreen to a base or flesh tone?

To color sunscreen to a base or flesh tone, you need to add pigments. Pigments like Titanium Dioxide (used as a white pigment), Iron Oxides (Red, Yellow, Black), or pre-mixed color dispersions can be used. These pigments are typically mixed into the oil or powder phase of the formulation.
