Silica Shells are highly porous ellipsoids of highly porous silica.

They are able to absorb up to 7 times their weight in silica. 

To prevent absorbtion of formlua ingredients they can be pre-loaded with a volatile liquid. When applied to the skin the volatile evaporate  allowing the empty shells to absorb sebum.

Oil-control is an integral part of formulating cosmetics, especially powdered/loose cosmetics? These oil-control microspheres work with treated sericite or alone to help eliminate that ashy appearance that can happen when your makeup absorbs oil and sebum.

You can also use the Oil-Control Microspheres to add nourishing oils to your loose minerals or to add fragrance to other powdered applications.

They scatter light on the face to reduce the appearance of fine lines and they boost SPF.

Recommended usage rate 0.5-2.0%
