There's a dry feel that you get when you use something like a serum, like it just disappears into your skin and almost feels like it evaporated into thin . . . well, skin. I would like to learn how to create products that have that feel but I don't even know what to search for cos I'm not sure how to describe this feeling.

Any help is appreciated! :)
 
Something that "sinks in" is something that is absorbed, whether serum or a new idea.

That being said, what are you planning to do with this new bit of wisdom? o_O
 
It depends greatly on what you're making, but a silicone like cyclomethicone or dimethicone can create that silky, dry feeling.

I think you nailed it, Cellador, silky and dry! I'll be looking into silicone now, especially these two. I wonder if there are close natural alternatives to silicone? Or since it is nature-derived, is it close enough to natural to be added to natural products and still consider them natural, kinda like micas?

Thanks!

Thanks, Zany_in_CO, I was actually looking for something more than just 'absorbed.' In fact, when I think of it, I want a carrier that does not get absorbed but just delivers something else and then gets on its merry way (if I'm making sense, I don't feel like it ;):)). And, I am looking to formulate something for my face that is not oily.

A gentle suggestion -- Give folks more time to reply, MissE. You're not likely to always get an instant answer.

Sorry, I actually only saw the first post had sailed through after I refreshed the page, and there was no way to remove the first post :)
