Silicon Microspheres as UV, Visible and Infrared Filters for Cosmetics
By: Isabelle Rodriguez, PhD, Roberto Fenollosa, Ph…
Silicon microspheres are described as UV, visible and infrared (IR) radiation filters. Parameters of these spheres including shape, smoothness, refractive index and size are examined for their potential benefits in cosmetic formulations. Finally, the ability of the spheres to block IR radiation is evaluated for thermo-regulatory effects.
