Cosmetic Recipe: "Perfect Match" Liquid Foundation

Instructions:

1. In a heat-resistant beaker, combine the deionized water and glycerin. Heat to 75°C (167°F).
2. In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine the emulsifying wax, caprylic/capric triglyceride, and jojoba oil. Heat to 75°C (167°F), stirring until the wax is completely melted.
3. Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously mixing with a stick blender or high-shear mixer. Mix for several minutes until a smooth emulsion forms.
4. Remove from heat and continue stirring gently as the emulsion cools.
5. In a separate container, pre-disperse the Neutral Skin Tone Pigment, iron oxides, and titanium dioxide (if using) in a small amount of the oil phase (from step 2) or glycerin to ensure even color distribution and prevent clumping. Use a mortar and pestle or a small mixer for thorough dispersion.
6. Once the emulsion has cooled below 40°C (104°F), slowly add the pre-dispersed pigment mixture to the emulsion while continuously mixing. Continue mixing until the color is uniform throughout the batch.
7. Add the preservative and vitamin E, mixing gently to incorporate.
8. Adjust the pH of the formulation if necessary.
9. Transfer the finished foundation to clean packaging.

Application Recommendations:

• The percentage of Neutral Skin Tone Pigment used will vary significantly depending on the desired shade intensity and coverage level. Start with a small percentage and gradually increase until the target shade is achieved.
• For precise color matching, it is crucial to use accurate weighing scales and to keep detailed records of the pigment percentages used for each shade.
• Thoroughly disperse the pigment to avoid streaking or uneven color distribution in the final product. Pre-dispersion in a liquid vehicle is highly recommended.
• When adjusting undertones, use iron oxides sparingly and gradually to avoid overpowering the neutral base.
• Titanium dioxide can be added for increased opacity and coverage, but its usage should be carefully controlled to avoid a chalky appearance, especially in deeper skin tones.
• The final shade of the foundation will be influenced by the other ingredients in the formulation, so it's essential to test and adjust accordingly.
• Consider using a colorimeter or spectrophotometer for objective color measurement and matching during the formulation process.
• Ensure the compatibility of the pigment with all other ingredients in the formula and conduct stability testing to ensure the final product remains consistent over time.
