คำถาม
I have a sunscreen spray formula with the following ingredients:
- Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane

Regarding Your Sunscreen Spray Formula
Based on the information provided by our staff, the sunscreen spray formula you have is not recommended for effective sun protection.
This is because the formula contains a very small amount of sunscreen agent, primarily Titanium Dioxide, and does not include other necessary sunscreen ingredients to provide adequate protection. While it might feel light on the skin, this is due to the low concentration of active sunscreen components.
The ingredients Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and Decamethyltetrasoloxane are indeed Cyclomethicone, which appears to be the main component of this formula.
MySkinRecipes does carry ingredients like Cyclopentasiloxane (Low-Odor Cyclomethicone) and various types of Titanium Dioxide, such as Titanium Dioxide 200nm EasyDisperse™ and Titanium Dioxide Transparent (15nm, Cyclopentasiloxane Base). However, we cannot recommend specific quantities for your current formula as it is not considered effective for sun protection.
For effective sun protection, a formula requires a sufficient concentration and combination of appropriate UV filters.
