  • Water soluble ingredient for matte finish

    Posted by pma on November 1, 2021 at 4:05 pm

    Does anyone know water soluble ingredient for a matte finish, even if it’s have a low effect?

    These kind of ingredients almost always are non water soluble powders…

    Clay isn’t soluble… :(  You can only disperse clay in water.

    What about arrowroot…also insoluble in water…but sure goes into water (suspension) easily…and once it meets the oil phase….pow.

    Acts as a mild mattifier, and mild textural enhancer.

    Google found this:

    EPS SEAMAT PA

    Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Codif
    Water (98%) (and) Saccharide Isomerate (1%) (and) Phenethyl alcohol (1%). EPS SEAMAT PA is a water soluble marine exopolysaccharide with a unique and completely new structure which gives it the property of an immediate mattifying agent. It absorbs the excess of sebum on the surface of the skin and reduces shine within one hour till the end of the day. Neither abrasive nor harsh, its astonishingly light and fluid texture respects oily and combination skins. The purified active ingredient combines the effectiveness of synthetic molecules with the natural properties of plant extracts. Its high molecular weight gives it a particular affinity for skin and surface properties which are of interest in treating cutaneous shine. EPS SEAMAT PA is used in day mattifying liquids, BB creams and products for greasy skin.

    ethanol?

    you can also try rice starch or “oat silk” (both available from SkinChakra), but I have not tried either one.
