| Microspheres are discrete spherical particles ranging in average particle size
from 1 to 20 microns. Because of their size and shape they are able to scatter light to diminish
the look of fine lines on the skin, effect also known as “optical blurring” or “soft focus”.
They also provide a ball bearing effect, which will impart finished products with increased payoff,
an elegant silky texture, enhanced slip and better blendability for a more natural finish.
Depending on level used, they can provide a non-tacky, velvety or powdery after-feel
("cream-to-powder" texture).
They are also used to absorb and deliver oils (porous microspheres such as silicas and silica
shells), and as voluminizers for mascaras.
