A shiny face is linked to a high level of sebum secretion or to the production of sweat resulting from physical exertion or heat and humidity.
Shiny skin is generally considered to be unattractive. To solve this problem, mattifying agents are used in skin care and makeup compositions.
Most efficient mattifying agents are synthetic, such as nylon powders, polyethylene powders and polymethyl methacrylate. These synthetic ingredients are increasingly in the line of fire due to the current market trend for zero-plastic and eco-friendly ingredients. Certain mattifying powders, such as talc and kaolin, are natural. However, they are not as efficient as their synthetic counterparts and their mattifying effect tends to diminish over time.
For this study, a new mineral grade with unique characteristics from the phyllosilicate family was engineered to obtain a 100% natural, mineral mattifying agent that can effectively replace synthetic mattifying agents.
