The role of fumed silica in cosmetics (2)

Hits: 920 img

1. Cosmetics

       Nail polish: It can increase viscosity, improve suspension stability and overall stability, and ensure uniform pigment distribution (recommended addition amount is between 0.25% and 4.0%).
       Lipstick: It can increase viscosity, improve overall stability, ensure uniform pigment distribution, while improving temperature resistance and anti-fading ability (recommended addition amount is between 0.25% and 4.0%; can be used in foundation or lip balm up to 10% ).
       For make-up and eye care products such as powders, foundations, blushes, eyeshadows, browliners and eyeliners: Fumed silica is a highly effective anti-caking agent and free-flowing agent that improves product storage stability and Dispersibility of powdered products.

2. Skin care

       Skin care products: Fumed silica in clear gels can increase the viscosity of the product and increase its pseudoplasticity. For emulsions, hydrophobic fumed silica is particularly useful for increasing the viscosity of water-in-oil emulsions, increasing the water resistance of creams and lotions, and reducing the use of surfactants. In sunscreen products, hydrophobic fumed silica can improve the storage stability of the product, especially improve the waterproof performance of the formula. At the same time, it can make the physical and chemical UV filters more evenly distributed and improve the sun protection index.

3. Hair care

       Hair care products: Fumed silica also has a variety of applications. In hair bleach, it can prevent bleaching powder from clumping when exposed to moisture, and can be used as a thickener and stabilizer (recommended addition amount is between 2.0% and 4.0%).
       Hair dye: It prevents premature reaction and clumping of powdered color-matching components. Hydrophilic fumed silica is a very efficient desiccant at concentrations above 4.0%, while hydrophobic fumed silica is highly efficient. Flow conditioner.
       Conditioner: Hydrophilic fumed silica and quaternary ammonium compounds are compounded to improve the combability and fullness of hair (usually the addition amount is between 1.0% and 2.0%).
       Hair Spray: Hydrophilic fumed silica helps increase hair volume.
 

4. Antiperspirant products

      Antiperspirant Products: Fumed silica can increase adsorption, viscosity, suspension stability and overall stability.

Characteristics of fumed silica series products

       Fumed silica can play a role in thickening and thixotropic properties in liquids, achieve suspension and redispersion in liquid phases, and improve fluidity and storage stability in powdered products such as powder cakes, thereby preventing Clumping. In addition, due to its high specific surface area, it can also act as an adsorbent and carrier, capable of adsorbing gases, liquids and solid substances.
