    Silica Microspheres are lightweight, spherical silica particles that provide a luxurious silky finish and soft-focus optical blurring. They absorb excess oil without drying the skin and improve product glide, making them a favorite in HD makeup and primer formulations.

    Commonly Used In:

    • Blurring and soft-focus face primers
    • Oil-absorbing mattifying powders
    • Liquid and powder foundations

    • Setting powders and HD finishing powders
    • Skincare-makeup hybrids with a matte finish
    • Sebum-control products for oily skin
    • Under-eye and pore-smoothing treatments
    • Anti-aging cosmetics to reduce the look of fine lines
  • Why Choose Silica Microspheres?

    Unlike flat silica powders, microspheres have a spherical shape that enhances slip, improves product payoff, and diffuses light to visibly reduce imperfections. They're often used to replace talc or bismuth oxychloride in natural and high-definition makeup, creating a modern soft-matte finish that still feels breathable.

    Key Benefits:

    • Creates a smooth, soft-focus skin finish
    • Reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines
    • Absorbs excess sebum for a shine-free look
    • Enhances spreadability and slip in dry and cream products
    • Non-comedogenic and lightweight

    Usage Guidelines:

    • Recommended Use: 1% – 15%
    • Can be dry-blended or milled with pigments
    • Compatible with anhydrous, powder, or emulsion systems
    • Disperse gently in oil phase or final blend for best texture

    Formulation Tips:

    • Use in place of talc for a modern skin feel
    • Combine with Boron Nitride for enhanced blurring + silkiness
    • Pairs well with mica, starches, and silicone elastomers
