Using AminoSilk™ (Lauroyl lysine) in Loose Powder

AminoSilk™ (Lauroyl lysine) is a special amino powder designed to enhance the texture of powder and cream products. It adds softness, smoothness, and can improve waterproof performance in powder formulations.

Can it be used alone?

No, AminoSilk™ is not a base powder and cannot be used alone as a loose powder. It is an additive used to improve the feel and performance of a formulation.

How to adjust the formula and mix:

AminoSilk™ should be incorporated into your existing loose powder formula. It works as a texture enhancer, making the powder feel softer, smoother, and spread better on the skin. It is typically used at a concentration of 1-5%, with 3% being a recommended starting point.

To incorporate AminoSilk™ into a loose powder formulation, simply mix it together with the other powder ingredients in your formula. Ensure all powders are well blended to achieve a homogeneous mixture.

A typical loose powder formula would consist of base powders (such as Talc, Mica, Silica, or starches), potentially oil-absorbing powders, pigments (if desired), and other functional additives. AminoSilk™ is added to this blend to impart its unique soft and smooth feel.

By adding AminoSilk™ at the recommended usage rate and mixing it thoroughly with your base powders, you can create a loose powder with an improved, luxurious texture similar to high-end cosmetic products.
