Fumed silica is an extremely fine nano amorphous silica, non-toxic, odorless, non-polluting, white fluffy powder, with strong UV reflectivity, good stability, high temperature resistance, no decomposition and no color change after UV irradiation. It has been produced since 1942 and is used in a wide range of applications due to its superior properties.
For example, pyrogenic silica plays a multifaceted role in toiletries. Through its excellent product and properties, it solves many problems in the production, packaging and use of personal care products, making them more convenient, more effective and more comfortable in life.
The following are the application of fumed silica in the personal care products and its function in this field.
Transparent gel
Hydrophilic fumed silica can improve product viscosity and increase product pseudoplasticity.
Emulsions
Hydrophobic fumed silica is suitable for increasing the viscosity of water-in-oil emulsions and increasing the water resistance of creams, which reduce the amount of surfactants used.
Sun protection
hydrophobic fumed silica improves the storage stability and enhances the water resistance of formulations, as well as increasing the sun protection index by making the physical and chemical UV filters more evenly distributed.
Face wash or shower gel
Hydrophilic fumed silica improves the viscosity of the product and enhances the feel of the product on the skin.
