Related effects of fumed silica 1. Fumed silica and nail polish
In nail polish, AEROSIL fumed silica can ensure uniform distribution of pigments in brighteners, prevent pigmentation, and provide rheology of the final product, thereby improving coatability. If the refractive index of the solvent system used is consistent with that of AEROSIL fumed silica (1.48), transparent nail polish formulations such as base and top colors can be formed. Otherwise, when used at higher concentrations, it has a matting effect, which reduces the desired gloss. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic AEROSIL fumed silica products can be used in nail polish, and the recommended concentration of AEROSIL is between 0.25-4.0%.

2. Fumed silica and lipstick
In lipsticks, AEROSIL fumed silica can make the pigment distribution uniform, and can greatly improve the temperature resistance, preventing the lipstick from softening when the temperature rises. After applying it to the lips, AEROSIL can prevent the lipstick from transferring to the small lips. The blemishes appear in the lines, so that the lipstick does not fade for a long time. Gloss decreases when higher concentrations are used. According to the required product characteristics, AEROSIL 200 or AEROSIL R972 can be selected at a concentration of 0.25-4%. In some special formulations, such as foundation or lip balm, up to 10% of AEROSIL R972 can be used.

3. Fumed silica and eye care
Many eye and face makeup products, including powders, foundations, blushes, mascaras and eyeliners, use AEROISL fumed silica alone to achieve the desired properties and necessary stability. AEROSIL fumed silica is a highly effective anticaking and free-flowing agent that improves storage stability and dispersion in powdered products. AEROSIL also enables the use of pigments in cosmetics, especially at high solids contents, and finally, AEROSIL can be used as an efficient processing aid for grinding and filtering powders.
