  Blemish Spot Treatment Additives

  Posted by BobZChemistJr on December 20, 2023 at 11:43 pm

  Here’s a sample of a blemish spot treatment I’m referring to. It is dabbed on with a cotton swab and then it flakes away leaving little/nothing on the skin.

  What kind of additives would make it more tenacious?

  I need it to endure through sweating and exercise. Moderate friction, etc.

  Anything besides rosin would be great haha.

  I’d be interested in playing with the texture polymers as well but isopropyl plus heavy metals means difficulties there.

  Finally, would it be worth it to drop the isopropyl for cyclopentasiloxane or something?

  Magnesium Aluminum Silicate 5
  Calamine Lotion 60
  Sodium Bicarbonate 25
  Tea Tree 5
  Sulfur 5

  Perhaps try low % polyvinyl alcohol film. High levels used in some face masks are irritating.
