About this ingredient

Silica silylate is a silica derivative that has been treated or modified with silyl groups to enhance its hydrophobic properties and dispersibility in cosmetic formulations. It functions as a texture modifier and absorbent, helping to reduce shine, improve powder flow, and provide a soft-focus or mattifying effect on skin.
