  • Natural Film Former for Anhydrous Eyeliner Gel Pot

    Posted by beautysci on April 22, 2016 at 8:32 pm

    Hi, I am having trouble finding a natural film former for an anhydrous eyeliner gel pot. The natural film formers that I have researched online have all been water dispersible. Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Forgot to mention that I am making a “natural” eyeliner hence the need for a “natural” film former. Thank you.

    You’re going to have to tell us how you define “natural”, first. And then, we need to know if there are any volatile ingredients in your formula.

    “Natural”, anhydrous, non-volatile, and film-forming are sadly not things that go together well at all. You will have to lose at least one, and probably two, of the above parameters.
