Adding silica dimethyl silylate actually worked to suspend the pigments. I’m just having trouble dispersing the silica completely. Any advice?

MemberDecember 2, 2022 at 1:34 am in reply to: Lake pigments settling in “lip gloss” formulation (photos)Hi @ketchito & @ariepfadli, you’re absolutely right. I tried adding a little bit of silica dimethyl silylate and it keeps the pigments from settling. I had no previous experience with silica dimethyl silylate though so it wasn’t a smooth dispersion. What’s the correct way to disperse it in oil? Do I need a rotor/stator homogenizer or would a 4-bladed overhead mixer suffice?
