Using Silky Serum Base Plus at 50% Concentration
Question
Is it possible to use Silky Serum Base Plus (Face/Eye, Oil) at a high concentration of 50%? What are the potential issues with formula stability and texture at this percentage?
Answer
Using Silky Serum Base Plus at 50%
Regarding the use of Silky Serum Base Plus (Face/Eye, Oil) at a 50% concentration, while it might be technically possible to incorporate it, it is generally not recommended.
Based on the product information and typical usage guidelines, using the base at such a high percentage will likely result in a formula that is too liquid and may compromise the stability and desired texture of the final product. The recommended usage rate for this base is typically lower, often in the range of 20-30%, or even 15% as seen in example formulations.
The Silky Serum Base Plus is designed to incorporate oils and silicones, but the total oil/silicone phase (including the base itself) is generally recommended not to exceed 30% of the formula. Using 50% of the base alone would significantly exceed this limit and leave insufficient room for the necessary water phase (which should ideally be at least 60% for stability).
To provide more specific guidance and help you achieve the desired texture and stability, it would be very helpful to know the full composition of your intended formula and the characteristics you are trying to achieve. Sharing your complete formula will allow for tailored recommendations on adjusting the base percentage or other ingredients.
