Temporary Tanning Lotion with Glow Effect
Question
How can I formulate a temporary tanning lotion that provides a tan color and a "glow glow" shimmer effect, which washes off easily? What ingredients and methods should be used?
Answer
Temporary Tanning Lotion with Glow Effect
To create a temporary tanning lotion with a "glow glow" effect that washes off, you can use shimmering pigments. These pigments add color and sparkle to the skin.
Based on your requirement for a glow effect, Mica pigments are a good choice. Specifically, products like Silver Sparkle Mica and Silver Super Sparkle Mica can provide a noticeable shimmer.
These pigments are designed for use in makeup products to add gloss and can be dispersed in silicone and oil bases, which are common in lotions. The amount to use depends on how intense you want the color and shimmer to be. You can mix them directly into your lotion base.
Remember that these pigments provide temporary color and shimmer that will wash off.
