<br/><br/> Silicone is a widely-used cosmetic ingredient, whose advantages are perceived as<br/>detackification, soft and non-greasy feeling, and excellent spreading quality. Therefore,<br/>in this work, we aim to formulate BB cream based on W/Si emulsion to make the most<br/>out of these benefits. Two different emulsifiers namely PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone<br/>– a common silicone emulsifier and Lauryl PEG-10 Tris(Trimethylsiloxy)silylethyl<br/>Dimethicone – a new silicone emulsifier, were tested. Upon completion, the properties<br/>and stabilities of two samples were investigated to compare their emulsifying ability.<br/>At the concentration of 3%, BB Cream made from Lauryl PEG-10 Tris(Trimethylsiloxy)<br/>silylethyl Dimethicone appears to be more stable compared to its counterpart, which<br/>was proven explicitly by physical appearance, viscosity, and microscopic observation<br/>in our study. Our formulated BB Cream was successfully undergone stability tests, then<br/>proceeded to a sensory evaluation in comparison with a commercial BB Cream. With<br/>good properties testifying for Lauryl PEG-10 Tris(Trimethylsiloxy)silylethyl Dimethicone<br/>from our studies, the developed composition is expected to represent a real asset in<br/>future make-up formulations.
