  Trimethylsiloxy silicate, polypropyl silsesquioxane in Matte Liquid Lipsticks

  Posted by Anonymous on December 29, 2016 at 7:07 pm

  Hi Everyone,

  Can someone please advise me on the usage levels of silicon resin in matte liquid lipsticks? I have my formula which I love, however, I find 15% is not enough to stop my lipstick from transferring, but when I add more- it gets very sticky, and stops drying matte. 

  Many thanks,

  Daria

  15% sounds like a lot. What other ingredients are in your base? Are you having a hard time dissolving the resin?

  Thank you for your responses and Happy New Year!

  I referred mainly to the brochures and formulas from dow corning I could find online, e.g 

  http://www.dowcorning.com/content/publishedlit/FORMUL_01451_lipstick-formulation.pdf

  I use isododecane at 45.5%. The resin dissolves perfectly fine. What percentage of silicone resin would you suggest?
