Description
Polymethylsilsesquioxane is a spherical powder used primarily as a texture enhancer and soft-focus agent in cosmetic formulations. It imparts a silicone-like smoothness to formulas and helps visually reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, creating a filling effect. Its spherical properties allow for better light diffusion, resulting in a smoother, more even skin appearance. Additionally, it can improve product application and provide a velvety, non-greasy feel.
