Face mask opacity
What is the best or easiest way to give a face mask that is an o/w emulsion opacity so it’s not transparent on the skin?

Hello,
not sure what do you mean.
So you create o/w emulsion (a cream) and if you put it on face as a face mask it goes transparent?
The cream should have white colour by itself (depends of course), so if you put it on in thick-enough layer, I don’t see any problem. Unless you are applying really thin layer?
Have you tried to add some pigments? -
Clays like Kaolin or Bentonite, white diatomaceous earths, or you could use Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide. All of these will add to opacity.Hope this helps. Cheers Catherine -

This might be a dumb question but if I use zinc oxide for opacity, I don’t have to worry about the regulations regarding sunscreens right? That’s only if I’m making claims towards sun protection?
