Silicon microspheres
Silicon microspheres refer to silicone spheres with a diameter of 1-50 microns used in cosmetics due to textural and performance properties within formulations. It is commonly used as ingredients for skincare and makeup products because they help with smoothness and a soft focus, and control sebum.
BENIFITS :
Silicon microspheres hide the light on the surface of the skin to smooth over fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores to create a blurred finish on the skin. They create a fine, smooth, silky feel, while having a feather-light weight feel when applied onto the skin. Also, silicon microspheres are helpful in absorbing excessive sebum, and make such ingredients suitable for mattifying products, as well as for oily or combination skin types. They facilitate ease of spreading across the skin, without cases of forming a layer at wrinkle intersections or creating a blotchy finish and also delays the wearing off of make-up due to oil or moisture shine during the day.
SKIN TYPES :
In fact, silicon microspheres are suitable for all skin types – dry, oily or mixed. They are especially useful with the oily skin because they reduce the shine caused by sebum secretion while giving the skin a dry appearance. They are also safe for use on sensitive skin due to their non abrasive feel and non-irritative nature.
