Mattifying Agents

Available as fine powders or lightweight gels, mattifying agents enhance long-wear performance. They absorb excess oil and minimize shine, creating a soft-focus finish in skincare and makeup. 

Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Silica and Nylon-12. Natural, non-drying mattifiers are in demand. Sub-types include clay-based for oil control and polymer-based for a lightweight feel. They must comply with particle size and inhalation safety limits.
