SepiPress M: The Key to a Flawless Matte Finish

SepiPress M is a versatile cosmetic ingredient acting as both a matting powder and a gelling agent. It's designed to create a desirable matte finish in a wide range of cosmetic products, from creams and gels to powders and blushes. Its unique properties make it an invaluable tool for formulators seeking to control shine, refine skin texture, and enhance the overall appearance of their products.

Why Choose SepiPress M for Cosmetics?

Effective Skin Matting: SepiPress M excels at absorbing excess sebum, providing a long-lasting matte finish and controlling shine throughout the day.

Oil Absorption: Its porous structure allows it to effectively absorb oil and sweat, preventing a greasy or shiny appearance.

Optical Blurring Effect: SepiPress M diffuses light, creating a soft-focus effect that minimizes the appearance of pores, fine lines, and other imperfections.

Pore Smoothing: By absorbing oil and diffusing light, it helps to visually smooth the skin's surface and minimize the appearance of pores.

Improved Product Aesthetics: SepiPress M enhances the texture and feel of finished products, providing a smooth, silky, and non-greasy finish.

Versatile Incorporation: It can be incorporated into both the oil and water phases of formulations at any stage of the manufacturing process.

Applications of SepiPress M in Cosmetics:

SepiPress M is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of cosmetic products:

Facial Primers: Creates a smooth, matte base for makeup application, controlling shine and minimizing pores.

Foundations and BB/CC Creams: Provides a matte finish, improves wear time, and controls oil throughout the day.

Loose and Pressed Powders: Enhances the texture and oil-absorbing properties of powders, creating a velvety smooth finish.

Blushes and Bronzers: Helps to control shine and create a natural-looking matte finish.

Moisturizers and Gels: Provides a matte finish without compromising hydration.

Sunscreens: Helps to control shine often associated with sunscreen formulations.

Detailed Breakdown of Cosmetic Applications:

Facial Primers: SepiPress M creates a smooth, matte canvas for makeup, improving its adherence and wear time. It helps control shine and minimizes the appearance of pores, providing a flawless base.

Foundations and BB/CC Creams: It helps to control oil breakthrough throughout the day, ensuring a long-lasting matte finish. It also improves the texture and feel of these products, making them feel lighter and more comfortable on the skin.

Loose and Pressed Powders: SepiPress M enhances the oil-absorbing properties of powders, creating a velvety smooth finish and preventing caking.

Cosmetic Recipe: Oil-Absorbing Matte Gel

Ingredients:

Phase A:
- Distilled Water: 75g
- Glycerin: 5g
Phase B:
- SepiPress M: 3g
- Alcohol Denat. (optional, for faster drying): 5g
Phase C:
- Carbomer: 0.5g
- Triethanolamine (TEA): to adjust pH (around 0.2-0.3g, check with pH meter)
- Preservative: as per manufacturer's instructions

Instructions:

Combine the ingredients of Phase A and heat gently to 40°C.
In a separate container, disperse SepiPress M in the alcohol (if using) or directly into the water phase with high shear mixing.
Slowly add Phase B to Phase A while mixing.
Sprinkle Carbomer into the mixture while stirring vigorously to avoid clumping.
Neutralize with TEA to a pH of around 5.5-6.5.
Add preservative.

Recommendations for Use:

Incorporation: SepiPress M can be incorporated into both the oil and water phases of formulations. It is recommended to pre-disperse it in a small amount of oil or a water-miscible solvent like alcohol or glycerin before adding it to the main formulation to ensure even distribution.

Dosage: The recommended usage rate is between 0.5% and 5%, depending on the desired level of matting and the specific formulation. Start with a lower concentration and increase as needed.

Mixing: High shear mixing can help to ensure proper dispersion and prevent clumping.

pH Stability: SepiPress M is generally stable over a wide pH range.

Compatibility: It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients.

Worldwide Delivery: We deliver worldwide.
