blending liquid/oil-based foundation
Aloha,
I have become pretty good at formulating different shades of powder-based and pressed make-ups for daily wear foundations. However, I’d like to incorporate my shades into a liquid-based concealer. I have done this using octyldodecanol for the majority of the liquid component. However, I can still feel the small particles from the titanium oxides. I “homogenized” with the simplest of tools, a battery-operated mini paint-mixer.
My question is: how would an ultrasonic homogenizer do with this? Would it be overkill or God’s gift to creaminess? Is it possible that this kind of tool would help in creating a creamy foundation? I would homogenize the oil-base and powder-based ingredients prior to adding hyaluronic acid, as I’ve read that HA would be destroyed.
I know it’s an expensive option, but with a less than 50 ml batch I feel like it would be a fun tool to buy for a home-lab.
Also, my pigments are not silicone-ized (if that’s the term). Perhaps buying pigments that are already soluble is the best answer?
Thank you for this forum, I learn something each time I visit.
