Key Properties and Benefits of Hollow Core Silicate R3178 in Cosmetics:

• Optical Effects: This is the primary function of Hollow Core Silicate R3178. The hollow core structure of the particles interacts with light, creating effects like:
  • Soft Focus: Diffuses light, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, creating a smoother, more even skin tone.
  • Light Diffusion and Scattering: Contributes to a radiant, luminous complexion.
  • Transparency and Clarity: Despite being a filler, it maintains high transparency in formulations, avoiding a chalky or opaque appearance.
• Texture Enhancement:
  • Improved Skin Feel: Can contribute to a smoother, more luxurious skin feel.
  • Reduced Tackiness and Stickiness: Can help reduce the sticky or tacky feel of some formulations.
  • Enhanced Spreadability: Can improve the application and spreadability of creams, lotions, and other products.
• Bulking Agent: Can be used as a filler to adjust the viscosity and texture of formulations.

Applications of Hollow Core Silicate R3178 in Cosmetics:

This versatile ingredient finds application in a variety of cosmetic products:

• Facial Care:
  • Primers: Creates a smooth base for makeup application, blurring imperfections.
  • Foundations and BB/CC Creams: Provides a soft-focus effect and improves skin texture.
  • Serums and Fluids: Can enhance the sensory experience of lightweight formulations.
  • Moisturizers: Can improve skin feel and reduce tackiness.

Cosmetic Recipe: Soft Focus Facial Primer

• Ingredients:

  • Cyclopentasiloxane: 30g
  • Dimethicone Crosspolymer: 5g
  • Hollow Core Silicate R3178: 5g
  • Isododecane: 60g

• Instructions:

1. Combine Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone Crosspolymer. Mix well.
2. Slowly add Hollow Core Silicate R3178 while mixing continuously to ensure even dispersion.
3. Add Isododecane and mix until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.

Recommendations for Use:

• Dispersion: Proper dispersion of the powder is crucial for achieving the desired optical effects. Use high shear mixing or homogenization if necessary.
• Dosage: Start with lower concentrations (1-5%) and adjust as needed to achieve the desired effect. Higher concentrations (up to 20%) can be used in specific applications like powders.
• Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with other ingredients in the formulation.
• Insoluble Nature: Remember that this ingredient is insoluble in both oil and water. It is dispersed, not dissolved, in the formulation.
