Question

Based on the provided water-free roll-on formula using:

  • Silicone Gel Base 79%
  • Mild Preserved Eco 1%
  • Anti Sweat 20%

Can I add the following ingredients?

  • Isododecane
  • Glycol group ingredients
  • lipid soft
  • Other oils

Answer

English Answer:

Regarding the water-free roll-on formula you provided:

  • The formula is possible to make.
  • However, the Anti Sweat (Aluminum Chlorohydrate) ingredient will not dissolve in the formula. It will remain suspended and will only dissolve on the skin when it comes into contact with moisture like sweat.

Regarding adding other ingredients:

  • Isododecane and any type of LipidSoft are compatible with the Silicone Gel Base and can be added.
  • Natural oils and Glycols are not compatible with the Silicone Gel Base and would require an emulsifier to be incorporated into the formula.
