Silica Microspheres

Silica microspheres is a microsphere (super tiny ball) format. Silica is a naturally occurring mineral found in everything from granite to sand.   Additionally, it has 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.

Particle size (2-15 microns).

We would suggest experimenting with Silica at 1% - 10% by weight of the formula for a powdered product.

Stir into powdered cosmetics after you are done using your coffee grinder; grinding silica microspheres compromises their teensy sphere-ness. Silica microspheres can also be stirred into hot or cold liquid cosmetics that won’t be ground.
