New studies demonstrate that in addition to their ability to absorb oil and modify rheology, Dow Corning brand silica silylate aerogel materials generate a “soft-focus” effect.
In contrast, if light is reflected and diffused, the wrinkle appears less prominent. Dow Corning silica silylate aerogels act as optical light diffusers, preventing light from becoming trapped, and allowing for transparency.
“Light essentially reflects from the skin and passes out of the particle, making wrinkles less visible, making these materials ideal for anti-ageing creams, lotions or makeup,”
said Stephanie Postiaux, Dow Corning application chemist.
