Description

Silica is an ingredient used in cosmetics as a filler and thickener. In cosmetic products, Silica can have the following functions: 1. Filler: Adding Silica helps to increase the volume of the product and provide a more even coverage of the skin. 2. Thickener: Adding Silica can help to regulate the consistency of the cosmetic product and provide a more stable texture. 3. Absorbent: Silica has the ability to absorb excess oil and moisture, making it a useful ingredient in skin and hair care products. 4. Dispenser: In cosmetics containing pigments or pearls, adding Silica can help to disperse these ingredients evenly on the surface of the skin or hair.
