  • Adding whitening effect to a primer

    Posted by ngarayeva001 on October 15, 2018 at 9:19 am

    Hi All,

    I formulated a primer and want to add a little bit of “whittening effect” to it (white cast but not very obvious). Should I add titanium dioxide or zinc oxide or both? I am not looking for achieving for any sun protection, just a cosmetic brightening effect.

    Thank you in advance!

    @ngarayeva001 i already use zinc oxide it gives whitennig effect however it also give drying effect and i don’t think so you want last effect for you product.
     I used corn stratch for wittening effect and i’am satified by it you can  try it if you want.

    maybe you could als add polymethyl methacrylate.
    it gives a soft focus effect,and luminosity. SKIN looks brighter and I think, kind of whiter.
    I have been using it in a primer formula.
