Question

Can RiceSorb™ (Rice Starch) be used in foundation powder formulations to enhance oil absorption? If so, how should it be mixed with other powder ingredients?

Answer

Using RiceSorb™ in Foundation Powder

Yes, RiceSorb™ (Rice Starch) can be used to create a foundation powder.

  • Function: RiceSorb™ is effective at absorbing excess oil on the skin, which helps to reduce shine and improve the longevity of the foundation powder. It also contributes to the texture of the powder.
  • Mixing: You can mix RiceSorb™ directly with other powder ingredients typically used in foundation powder formulations. These commonly include:
    • Mineral powders (like Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide for coverage and SPF)
    • Fillers (like Mica, Talc, Kaolin)
    • Color pigments (Iron Oxides, Ultramarines)
    • Binders (to help the powder adhere)
    • Other functional ingredients (like emollients, preservatives if needed, depending on the formulation type).

By incorporating RiceSorb™ into your blend of powder ingredients, you can enhance the oil control properties of your foundation powder.
