Silicone powders possess favorable surface lubricity to refine cosmetic sensory performance for softer, smoother skin touch. Proper addition of silicone microsphere powders in foundations, primers and creams prolongs wear-time with non-tacky, non-greasy features. They provide oil-absorbing and sebum-regulating capacity, and deliver UV-shielding benefits.
