Silicone for temporarily fill lines and wrinkles
I am going to add silicone in my lotion because it has xanthan gum and petrolatum and the skin feel is not pleasant.
Also In paula’s choice website they say some silicones can also temporarily fill lines and wrinkles. My question isWhich silicone is most favorable for temporarily filling lines and wrinkles on skin?If dimethicone then which viscosity?
Low or high for this purpose?Lotion ingredients are
Olive oil
Petrolatum
Polyglyceryl 4 Laurate
Glyceryl oleate
Xanthan gum
Essential oilPreservative -

I was researching for something else and came across dowsil 9701 cosmetic powder (Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone
Crosspolymer (and) Silica) and remembered reading your post earlier. I haven’t used it before and not sure if there is a more favorable silicone, but the picture on the marketing sell sheet looks promising for filling lines (and yes, I know its not best practice to go off suppliers marketing data alone) but maybe you’ll see some benefit in using that product or something similar -
Agree with the previous comment. You need silicone elastomers not just dimethicone. I would also have a look at ronaflair range https://www.merckgroup.com/en/brands/pm/ronaflair.html

Lotion Crafters
Formulators Sample Shop
Making CosmeticsOr similar US based re-packers?
How would you compare those with Polymethylsilsesquioxane? An added enhancement or redundancy?

@Graillotion lotioncrafter has quite some of the crosspolyers, though in particular maybe this https://lotioncrafter.com/collections/silicones-alternatives/products/optiblur-elastomer

@Graillotion, this one is nice https://lotioncrafter.com/collections/silicones-alternatives/products/lotioncrafter-el40
lotioncfater should have set of samples for elastomers. You might want to consider trying to select the one you like. I have not tried the ones MakingCosmetics sells as I don’t like the price.
this one is my absolute favorite but yeah it’s in Australia https://trulux.com.au/caresil-cxg-1104/

I don’t think you can compare it with polymethylsilsesquioxane, those are very different.
