Silk Powder Micro Fine - 10 Micron
BCP-MCRO-FNE-SLK-10MCRN-28G
Micro Fine Silk Powder (10 Micron) is a highly sought-after additive in both powder and liquid cosmetics, as well as in hair care products, due to its remarkable properties. This ultra-fine powder made from 100% Silk Fibroid, adds a beautiful sheen to makeup products by reflecting light, giving the skin a radiant, soft-focus finish. Rich in 18 amino acids, which are easily absorbed by the skin, it helps nourish and repair, enhancing the skin’s natural barrier function. Furthermore, Micro Fine Silk Powder is known for its dual ability to reflect and absorb UV rays, offering a subtle layer of protection against sun damage.
One of the standout features of Micro Fine Silk Powder is its natural moisture-adjusting capability, allowing it to absorb or release moisture depending on temperature and humidity. This ensures that the skin remains balanced and hydrated throughout the day. The powder's breathable nature makes it ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, as it won't clog pores. Additionally, its oil-absorbing properties make it particularly suitable for cosmetics designed for oily skin, providing a matte finish without compromising the skin's natural luminosity.
Incorporating Micro Fine Silk Powder (10 Micron) into a product is a straightforward process, but it requires attention to detail to ensure the best results. If you're working with powder-based formulations, such as face powders, body powders, blushes, or eyeshadows, the silk powder can be blended directly with other dry ingredients. It's helpful to sift the powder thoroughly with the other ingredients to achieve a uniform distribution and avoid clumping. Typically, the silk powder is added at a concentration ranging from 1% to 10% of the total formula, depending on the desired effect and the specific product being created.
For liquid or cream-based formulations, such as foundations, lotions, or serums, Micro Fine Silk Powder can be dispersed into the oil phase or mixed into the water phase (will not fully dissolve), depending on the product's formulation. To ensure even distribution, it can be beneficial to pre-disperse the silk powder in a small amount of oil or water before adding it to the larger batch to avoid clumping. Incorporating it this way helps maintain the smooth texture of the product and enhances its luxurious feel. The typical usage rate remains similar to that in powder formulations, generally ranging from 1% to 10%, but can vary based on the product’s texture and performance requirements.
While the above are common usage rates, Micro Fine Silk Powder is sometimes used by customers in higher concentrations as a loose Cosmetic Finishing Powder for the face.
