AEROSIL® 300

Silica (> 99.8%). AEROSIL® 300 by Evonik is an anti-caking, free-flowing, gelling, suspending, dispersing and thickening agent. It is a hydrophilic fumed silica which is used to transform cosmetic oils to highly viscous gels. It produces largely transparent products with a markedly pseudoplastic flow behavior. It can help increase the volume of the hair, counteracting the flattening effect of the conditioning agents. It helps improve the homogeneous distribution of the pigments in color cosmetics. It prevents the agglomeration of active ingredients-generally aluminum and zirconium salts (AP salts)-helping to ensure that they are evenly distributed and have an intense and long-lasting effect. It also avoids white residue. AEROSIL® 300 is suggested for use in skin care, hair conditioners, make-up (powder, nail polish) and antiperspirants & deodorants (sticks) applications.
