I have been researching ingredients that can be used to blur fine lines. This is for use in a hand cream.
I've come across a few options:
- Pure silica for blurring fine lines. I know MakingCosmetics does a product called WrinkleBlur which features silica so this could be an option.
- Would a film former like hydrolyzed protein work in this regard?
- Another option is isoamyl laureate which is said to be a natural silicone alternative.
Are there other ingredients/ingredient classes that can be used for this purpose?
Comments
I will be using it for mattifying properties and haven't used it yet, so I have no idea if it really works for blurring fine lines.
Isoamyl Laurate is a great ester, but I can't imagine it having any effect on fine lines, like blurring products are said to do. I've used it in many emulsions (Dermofeel Sensolv from Evonik/Dr. Straetmans).
I also don't think that hydrolyzed proteins have much visual effect. And they smell horrible!
Edit: Added a brochure of Ronaflair Flawless and LDP White.
This one is better and earier to work with than wrinkleblur
Isoamyl Laurate- because it is supposed to be a natural alternative to silicone I thought it would fill in fine lines but after further research it is more of a dry oil ester. So scratch that.
Hydrolyzed proteins do have a very bad smell I agree. Again, after more research I think they are used as film formers on the hair and skin but this won't have much visual effect on fine lines.
Thanks for your input.
Thanks.
You're welcome and good luck! :-)
I also tried Hydrolyzed proteins, but the results are poor.
I will order WrinkleBlur from Making Cosmetics and try. Please post your results.
Thanks
but lasts only 2 hours- that’s not so good.
