Question
How to incorporate Dimethicone (Light/50, Low-Odor) into a water-based BB cream formula?
Answer
Dimethicone (Light/50, Low-Odor) is not directly soluble in water.
Therefore, if you want to use it in a BB cream formula where water is the main component (which is often an emulsion formula like Oil-in-Water or Water-in-Oil), you must incorporate this Dimethicone into the oil phase of the formula and use an emulsifier to help the water and oil phases combine into a single, stable mixture without separating.
In summary, Dimethicone (Light/50, Low-Odor) can be used in a water-based BB cream formula, but it must be incorporated using an emulsion method and mixed into the oil phase.
