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.
