Cucumber Smoothie Color Correcting Primer with Vertasil® TM-L01, SiBrid® DE-12, and SiBrid® PM-212

Banish embarrassing facial redness and and soften those worry lines and wrinkles over your cyclopentasiloxane (D5) concerns. Gelest’s Vertasil® TM-L01, as used in this Cucumber Smoothie Primer, can provide a similar lightweight, non oily feel during application with more substantive and silkier after-feel than cyclopentasiloxane. This primer can be used alone as a soft focus and color correcting serum or as a primer under makeup.

    Procedure:

  • Mill pigments until dispersed.

  • Premix Phase B and add dropwise or spray onto powder. Mix thoroughly until wet.

  • Mill if necessary.

  • Press into pans.
  • Moisturizing and Long-Wearing CC Cream

    To create a long-wearing and lightweight Water/Oil CC cream, incorporate our Sebum Resistant (SR)-treated pigments by prewetting with SiBrid® DE-12, an oxygen permeable silicone fluid that can be used as wetting agent, slip agent, and oil phase fluid. Sibrid® Caprylyl Methicone TM-081 adds additional play time and slip upon application while Sibrid® Propyl Trisiloxane TM-031 is used as an oil phase solvent.

    Procedure:

  • Combine Phase A and heat to 75 °C.

  • Combine Phase B and mix well until incorporated.

  • Under a homogenizer, slowly add Phase B into Phase A and mix until emulsified.

  • Sweep while cooling batch.

  • Finish with fragrance and preservative.
  • Powder Cream Concealer with ML Pigments and SerebriteTM SS

    This high coverage formula applies like a cream, yet has the dry feel of a powder. Dimethicone Maximum Loading (ML) pigments allow for higher pigment loading due to low oil absorption and excellent wetting proprieties. Seribrite™ SS is added as a boron nitride replacement due to its whiteness, slip, and creamy feel upon application.

    Procedure:

  • Mix Phase A under propeller blade. Premix Phase B while warming to dissolve.

  • Add Phase B to Phase A and stir. Premix first three ingredients in Phase C. When uniform, add remaining ingredient and slowly homogenize.

  • Add Phase D to Phase C and homogenize.

  • Premill Phase E. Add Phase E to Phase CD and homogenize until dispersed.

  • Add Phase AB to Phase CDE and continue homogenizing until emulsified.

  • Increase speed and homogenize for additional 5 minutes.
  • Velvety Concealer with HS Pigments

    In water-based systems, Hydrosperse (HS) pigments disperse easily without high shear, develop fully in color and tinting strength, and show reduced color flotation.
