Silica
What is Silica?
Micro-fine spherical mineral particles milled from silicon dioxide, the same mineral family as sand and quartz.
Why is Silica in the formula?
It does the blurring and the shine control. The spheres roll against each other, so a powder built on silica presses smooth and keeps surface oil from pooling through the day.
What does Silica feel like on skin?
- —Soft-focus over visible texture
- —Holds back midday shine
- —Weightless on skin
