  Need help regarding chemical

  Posted by Makoto on December 30, 2023 at 9:54 am

  Hi…..

  Can anyone tell me in liquid matte lipstick what can I replace in place of bentone gel…..

  Or what can be replaced in place of disteardimonium hectorite….

  Bentone gel has cyclopentasiloxane, disteardimonium hectorite, propylene carbonate….but I am not able to find disteardimonium hectorite anywhere….???????? Thanks ❤️

  @Makoto That ingredient is supplying virtually all the yield value (suspension) to your formula and few lipid dispersible materials can match its yield value. However silica or more specifically silica dimethyl silylate offers similar but not same suspension. Processing is a bear: heating and high shear mixing for 90 minutes before adding any pigments or minerals. That is the great value of those Bentone Gels, Elementis already did the difficult job for us!

    Maybe if you post your formula here, we could see what the problem is.
