The advantages of silica powder

-Inexpensive compared to other texture improvement powders such as SiliSilk™, AminoSilk™, BB Micro Silk™, but provides a slippery effect, reducing the feeling of "stuffiness" on the skin of some formulas. such as sunscreen and can absorb oil at the same level although other features are not comparable (For example, SiliSilk has a "soft" feel, too. AminoSilk can claim that Derived from amino acids (lysine), a natural substance, including BB Micro Silk™, which is effective in masking wrinkles and pores on the face).

- Can be used in all formulas whether it is cream Gel texture (may make the gel cloudy) or powder It will act to provide smoothness. and absorb the oiliness of the skin

- Gives a smooth color (Matte) when applied to the skin without feeling dry. Usually, the skin can be smoothed by using various powders (such as Kaolin) to help absorb it. But the downside of using a lot of powder is the dry feeling on the skin. (not slippery when applied - feels harsh on the skin when applied) which MatteSilica™It will help to solve this problem very well. Because it can be smooth even when used in small quantities.

Usage example MatteSilica™ in various formulations

-foundation cream: helps to blend easier, helps the foundation last longer and gives a smooth, matte color (but if the cream formula contains oil MatteSilica™ absorbs the oil in the formula instead. And the efficiency of absorbing oil on the skin will disappear. but also gives a slippery feel to the skin and makes it easier to spread the product, stays the same)

-Lipstick: Gives a softer color (Matte), reduces shine, gives a smooth powdery feel, smoothes and spreads the color easily when applied.

- Loose or pressed powder: gives a smooth matte feel. Make the powder last longer.

Caution is advised when using MatteSilica™ in formulations that contain oil in formulations (such as creams or lotions).

Stir or blend MatteSilica™ in the water. and then coordinate with the oil to reduce the absorption of oil in the formula
