INCI: Silica
White, spherical powder with a 10-14 micron average particle size. Because of their size and shape they are able to scatter light to diminish the look of fine lines on the skin, effect also known as optical blurring or soft focus. They also provide a ball-bearing effect, which will impart finished products with increased payoff, an elegant silky texture, enhanced slip and better blendability for a more natural finish. Depending on level used, they can provide a non-tacky, velvety or powdery after-feel ("cream-to-powder" texture). Recommended usage rate 10-20%.
