Question
My sunscreen formula is causing flaking (pilling) on the skin. Can you provide a revised formula, perhaps a Water-in-Oil type, that adheres better and prevents this issue? I'd like to know the recommended formula and mixing procedure.
Final Recommended Formula (Water-in-Oil System):
- Water Part:
- Powder cream: 2%
- Water: 58.3%
- Light Cream Maker: 1%
- Oil Part:
- Water Capsule: 3%
- SPF Protect Ultra: 25%
- LipidSoft Dry: 5%
- Titanium Dioxide Nano EasyDisperse: 3%
- BB Micro Silk: 2%
- Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix: 0.7%
- Phenonip® P4: 1%
Mixing Instructions:
- Mix the ingredients for the Water Part together until you get a cloudy gel.
- Mix the ingredients for the Oil Part together. Use slight heat to help them combine.
- Add the Oil Part into the Water Part all at once.
- Stir or blend the mixture. Blending strongly will result in a thicker cream, while blending gently will result in a thinner cream. Adjust according to your desired texture.
- Add the Phenonip® P4 (preservative) and mix until combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool.

This Water-in-Oil formula is expected to adhere better to the skin and avoid the flaking problem encountered with the previous formula.
