Characteristics of Cosmetic-Grade Hydrated Silica

Our cosmetic-grade hydrated silica offers a suite of advantageous properties that contribute to enhanced product performance and user satisfaction:

• High Purity: With over 97% silica content, our hydrated silica guarantees high purity.
• Superior Oil Absorption & Control: This ingredient is highly effective at absorbing excess sebum from the skin's surface, helping to maintain a matte finish and reduce shine making it particularly valuable for oil-control formulation.
• Soft Focus & Silky Texture: Cosmetic-grade hydrated silica imparts a desirable soft-focus effect, subtly blurring imperfections and fine lines. It also contributes to a luxurious, silky-smooth feel upon application, significantly enhancing the sensory experience for the end-user.
• Effective Anti-Caking & Flowability Agent: Acting as an efficient anti-caking and free-flow agent, it dramatically improves the storage stability of powdered products and ensures excellent flow characteristics, even in high-solid content formulations.

Applications Across Cosmetic Categories

The versatility of cosmetic-grade hydrated silica makes it suitable for a broad spectrum of cosmetic and personal care products:

• Base Makeup Products: Integrate it into liquid foundations, loose powders, and pressed powders to provide subtle coverage, promote a more even skin tone, and enhance product adherence for longer-lasting wear.
• Color Cosmetics: In eye shadows, blushes, and other color cosmetics, it functions as an adsorbent and lubricant, facilitating smoother application and improved spreadability. It refines product texture, making blending effortless and ensuring a flawless finish.
• Skincare Products: Utilize it in moisturizers, serums, and treatment creams as an oil-absorbing agent to manage skin oiliness. It also contributes to a soft, smooth skin feel and can act as an effective carrier for microencapsulated active ingredients, enhancing their stability and controlled release.
• Specialty Cosmetic Applications: Its benefits extend to nail care products, improving adhesion and durability, and to lipsticks, enhancing texture and application. In hair care, it can contribute to desired sensorial properties. Furthermore, specific grades are commonly employed as abrasive agents in toothpastes and body scrubs, offering gentle yet effective exfoliation and cleaning.
