Penstia powder – INCI Name: Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol Crosspolymer- from this post for my pumpkin spice latte lotion): The suggested usage rate for these silky, soft, creamy spheres is 3% in the oil phase to reduce tackiness and increase slip and glide. It absorbs oil well, so you can use it in make-up or cleansers to absorb sebum for oily skin types. We use high shear to incorporate it into our products, which means you want to use a stick or immersion blender or MiniPro Mixer, and add it at the end of the process.
