Mattifying Agents
Category overviewAvailable 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.

Decorative Cosmetics: Soft Focus - Matte Liquid Foundation by Wacker
by Wacker
This water in oil liquid foundation is formulated to combine optical effects with a pleasant texture and a light and smooth skin feel.
Its key ingredient is the newly launched BELSIL® B 110, consisting of spherical methyl-silsesquioxane beads, which give a soft-focus effect, diffusing the light and allow an instant blurring of pores and fine lines. BELSIL® B 110 is also used to control shine, leaving a smooth and matte finish.
The foundation is enriched with a silicone elastomer gel, BELSIL® REG 1102, and a silicone wax, BELSIL® CDM 3526 VP, responsible for the nice texture of this formulation.
The use of the sugar modified silicone emulsifier BELSIL® WO 5000 helps to homogeneously distribute the pigments and allows to reach for this rich W/O foundation a light sensorial profile, otherwise just known for O/W formulations.
