MicroSilica Spheres
CAS No. 9009-54-5, 7631-86-9
MicroSilica Spheres are white, spherical particles with an average size of 12 micron. Their size and shape help to scatter light, diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. Their ball-bearing effect imparts finished products with an elegant silky texture and enhanced slip, improving blendability of cosmetics for a more natural finish on the skin. Additionally, MicroSilica Spheres have a high rate of oil absorption capacity, making them ideal for inclusion in under-makeup primers and mineral makeups. They can be used for sebum control or loaded with oil-soluble actives for release on the skin with application.
