Viscosity Control and Stabilization
They help adjust viscosity in emulsions, gels and lotions, ensuring a uniform and stable consistency.
They contribute to the stabilization of formulations, preventing phase separation in multiphase products
Velvety Feel on Skin
They absorb excess sebum on the skin and oil on the hair, controlling shine and oiliness throughout the day.
They act as drying agents in deodorants and antiperspirants, increasing the sensation of freshness.
Improved Texture and Spreadability
They provide a smooth, silky texture to makeup and creams, improving application and skin feel.
They facilitate the application of powder products, ensuring uniform and natural coverage.
Soft Focus Effect
They scatter light to soften the appearance of fine lines and imperfections, creating a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
Gentle Exfoliation
With a long history of use in the personal care industry, silicas are reliable and effective ingredients, providing consistent results.
Increased Product Durability
In makeup and hair products, silicas help to prolong durability, maintaining the desired effect for longer.
Antimicrobial Silicas
Sustainable Silicas: From Rice Husk to Industry, with Respect for the Planet
Antimicrobial silicas, especially those based on zinc and copper, can be used in cosmetics and other personal care areas, offering additional benefits beyond the traditional functionalities of silicas. Below, I detail how these types of silicas can be applied:
Application of Antimicrobial Silica for Personal Care:
Creams and lotions : Antimicrobial silicas can be incorporated into creams and lotions to prevent microbial contamination, extending the shelf life of the product and protecting the skin against bacteria and fungi.
Anti-acne products : Zinc-based silicas, in particular, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce acne by controlling bacterial growth.
Lotions and powders : Baby products that incorporate antimicrobial silicas can help protect delicate skin from irritation caused by microorganisms by providing an additional protective barrier.
Shampoos and conditioners : The addition of antimicrobial silicas can help keep the scalp healthy by preventing the growth of microorganisms that can cause dandruff or irritation.
Dry shampoos : Antimicrobial silica can be used to increase the safety and effectiveness of these products, ensuring the scalp remains clean and free of pathogens.
Odor control : The antimicrobial action of zinc or copper-based silicas helps inhibit the bacteria responsible for body odor, making deodorants more effective.
Safety : These compounds can reduce the need for synthetic preservatives, offering a more natural alternative to maintain product freshness.
Toothpastes and mouthwashes : Antimicrobial silica can be used in formulations to help control plaque and prevent cavities, as well as promote fresher breath.
