  • Alternatives to Dimethicone and Mineral OIl

    Hello,

    Looking for alternatives to dimethicone and mineral oil in a pressed eyeshadow formula. Taking those ingredients out makes the shadow perform poorly. Not enough staying power, doesn’t adhere as well, makes the color less opaque etc.

    Thanks for any suggestions :)

    Hello 4mulate,

    Could you please specify why you want to replace mineral oil and dimethicone. do you want more natural alternatives, or are they unavailable?
