  How to reduce waxy afterfeel in cream blush

  Posted by chem.ist on January 18, 2024 at 11:14 am

  Im working on a cream blush and its almost perfect but the afterfeel is slightly waxy. The client wants it to be all natural. ive tried increasing the lauryl laurate since it has a dry after feel but it hasnt worked. the mango butter must be at 3%. anything else can be changed

  MCT oil - 20%

  Jojoba oil- 20%

  Polyhydroxystearic acid- 15%

  Lauryl laurate- 10%

  beeswax 7%

  Polyglyceryl-6 Octastearate (and) Glyceryl Behenate 5%

  mango butter 3%

  mica 20%

  and other extracts

  Maybe it would be worth adding powder that absorbs excess fat? Corn flour, rice flour, some form of cellulose?

    Thanks! The clients old formula has a powder that caused issues in stability. Ive tried tapioca, arrowroot, conr starch, rice powder, some powdered waxes but they all create a skin on the top of the blush that you have to break or it dries out the blush too much.

    Any tips on preventing that?
