How Does Silica help you skin care or color cosmetic product?

Silica helps your skin in various ways. It absorbs oil and sweat to help your makeup last longer and you don’t look like a frying pan all day. Silica works great on oily skin but for dry skin you must make sure you use the right spherical silica with low oil absorption as the regular ones may be a bit too drying. Silica also helps your makeup adhere to your face better thanks to its oil-absorbing properties for that.

It also improves the consistency of a cream or lotion by its thickening properties and the spreadability of liquid and powder foundations onto your skin more easily, effortlessly covering every part of your face. It helps with even distribution of pigments in cosmetics, preventing them from settling in makeup.

As mentioned earlier, Silica’s main job is to keep oily skin matte, but it also helps create a lovely texture for your lotions. Spherical silicas provide other properties that make them the best choice for color cosmetics. Their ball bearing characteristic, oil absorption, their unique texture as well as, softening aspects specially when treated, improves smoothness and provides very good slippery touch. It is used in make-ups, mascara as well as other powdery products such as antiperspirants.
