Using Synthetic Fluorphlogopite Powder for Face Makeup and Longevity
Question
I want to make a powder for applying directly to the face or mixing with color to create a skin-toned powder using Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (6 Micron, Methicone Coated).
- Can this powder be used directly on the face?
- How can I make the powder last longer on the skin?
Answer
Using Synthetic Fluorphlogopite Powder
Yes, you can use Synthetic Fluorphlogopite powder directly on the skin or mix it with color to create a skin-toned powder.
The staff reply confirms this is possible. The product description for Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (6 Micron, Methicone Coated) indicates it is suitable for makeup products and can be used at concentrations from 1% up to 100%.
Regarding improving longevity, the coating on the powder (whether Lauroyl lysine as you mentioned, or Methicone as in the product description for ID 1219) is specifically designed to help the powder adhere better to the skin and provide better waterproofing. This directly contributes to making the makeup last longer. The Methicone coated version also helps absorb oil, which further aids longevity, especially on oily skin.
Therefore, the coating itself provides significant benefits for skin adherence and longevity. While other film-forming agents or binders are sometimes used in formulations to improve wear, the inherent properties of the coated Synthetic Fluorphlogopite already offer good performance in this regard.
