Silica Dimethyl Silylate is a synthetic ingredient derived from silica treated with dimethylsiloxane groups, creating a hydrophobic silica powder. Its structure combines the absorbent properties of silica with the emollient benefits of silicones, resulting in a fine, white powder that is highly effective in oil control and texture modification. This hybrid material is known for its ability to absorb excess sebum, improve product spreadability, and enhance the sensory experience of cosmetics without leaving a heavy or sticky residue.
Premium Silica Dimethyl Silylate is an innovative alternative that delivers exceptional texture enhancement and oil control. This cosmetic-grade material provides a luxurious, velvety finish while absorbing excess sebum - making it perfect for powders, foundations, and mattifying skincare products.
Thickens oil phases in emulsions and increases viscosity and gloss of various oils by forming oil-gels
Improves payoff in lipsticks
Reduces pigment settling and oil bleeding in lipsticks
Provides grip in powder products (e.g. dry shampoos) and adds volume to dry shampoo products
Directions: Add to oil phase of all emulsion types or just to oils to create oil-gels. Typical use level 0.1 - 30% (oil-gel formation usually occurs upon addition of 5-10%). For external use only.
Highly versatile for hair care products (e.g. dry shampoos), skin care products, and color cosmetics like makeup & powders.
Absorbs sebum, creates a smooth base for makeup, reduces pore visibility
Enhances powder adherence, improves water resistance, and stabilizes pigments
Forms a hydrophobic barrier to prevent sunscreen wash-off during swimming
Absorbs scalp oils, adds texture for volume, and soothes irritated scalps
