Silica Silylate

Silica silylate is a synthetic compound derived from silica, a naturally occurring mineral. In cosmetics, it primarily functions as a thickening agent and a rheology modifier, meaning it helps control the flow and texture of a product. It can also contribute to a matte finish by absorbing excess oil.
