AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® Silica for Personal Care

AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT®
Silica for Personal Care
SIPERNAT® and AEROSIL® silica are
used in familiar personal care products.
There are so many
ways AEROSIL® and
SIPERNAT® silica can
be used in personal
care products.
With its comprehensive
service, Evonik is
always ready for the
challenges that each
new day brings,
developing innovative
concepts for the
personal care industry.

AEROSIL® – more
than just a powder
SIPERNAT® and SIDENT®
Precipitated Silica
AEROSIL® products are recognized in
the personal care industry for their
versatility and effectiveness, whether
used to improve existing formulations or
to develop new ones. Our products are
characterized by their high purity and
chemical inertness, which are especially
important in cosmetic applications. In
addition, the AEROSIL® brand is
characterized by one thing in particular:
Our value-added product philosophy.
This philosophy is driven by a package
of service components which complement
each other to achieve great effects with
very small particles. These components
include extensive technical service and
support, guide formulations, research and
development, logistics concepts and
handling technology. Our objective is
to be an innovation leader and work
hand-in-hand with our customers.
Evonik Industries is a leading supplier
of precipitated silica, which is used as a
reinforcing filler or carrier in a diverse
range of applications.
SIPERNAT® synthetically manufactured
silica is a fine, loose, white powder. Like
fumed silica, SIPERNAT® silica is
amorphous. SIPERNAT® silica has
versatile properties that make production
processes and final products more
efficient and may be used in many types
of personal care applications. We find
silica in many of the personal care
products we use daily, from toothpaste
to antiperspirant to lipstick.

AEROSIL® fumed silica increases water
resistance in sunscreen formulations.
AEROSIL® fumed silica allows the viscosity
of an oleo gel to be adjusted as required.
SIDENT® 22 S and AEROSIL® 200 help
give toothpaste a perfect consistency.
Enhancing Skin and Oral Care Products
Your formulations can deliver performance that lasts
Gels and Emulsions
With AEROSIL® fumed silica, cosmetic
oils can easily be converted into
highly viscous, largely transparent gels.
Particularly high viscosities can be
achieved with the hydrophilic types, such
as AEROSIL® 200 and 300. Hydrophobic
types such as AEROSIL® R 972, R 974 and
R 812 are perfect for creating or adjusting
thixotropic properties, improving
suspension without significantly
increasing viscosity, and imparting
stability and water-resistance to
emulsions. Hydrophobic AEROSIL®
fumed silica also increases the water
resistance of creams and lotions.
Especially sunscreen and make-up
formulations benefit from this effect.
AEROSIL® fumed silica is not suitable
for thickening aqueous systems.
Major advantages of AEROSIL® fumed
4
silica as a thickener for non-polar systems
are:
• AEROSIL® products can be incorporated
at room temperature and without
activation
• No need to expend time and energy
heating the raw materials and cooling
the emulsion
• AEROSIL® fumed silica can be
dispersed using equipment that is
customary in the cosmetics industry
• Formulations thickened with AEROSIL®
fumed silica display low sensitivity to
temperature, electrolytes and pH
Depending on the desired effect,
AEROSIL® fumed silica can be used in
a concentration range from 0.5 to
10% w/w. Concentration levels above
3% w/w can specifically counteract the
oily or greasy skin feel of a formulation.
SIDENT® and AEROSIL® –
For perfect flow of toothpaste.
Our products SIDENT® 22 S and
AEROSIL® 200 have a proven track
record for toothpaste thickening
efficiency. Whether in all-silica
formulations, in carbonate pastes,
or in those using phosphate abrasives,
both types of silica will give your
toothpaste the rheological body for good
filling during manufacturing and easy
handling by the consumer. The choice is
yours: whether 7–9% of SIDENT® 22 S
silica or 3–5% of high-performance
AEROSIL® 200 fumed silica, you will
obtain the thickness you are looking
for. With its very low iron content,
AEROSIL® 200 is well-suited for
thickening peroxide toothpaste.

AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® silica ensure active / salt
uniformity, so that an antiperspirant is effective when
applied – right to the end.

AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® Silica
for Antiperspirant
When you want your product to be invisible
Antiperspirants
AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® silica fulfills
a wide range of functions in antiperspirant
sprays, roll-ons and sticks. As an effective
suspension stabilizer AEROSIL® products
prevent the agglomeration of active
ingredients – generally aluminum and
zirconium salts (AP salts) – helping to
ensure that they are evenly distributed
and have an intense and long-lasting
effect. AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® silica
can also increase the viscosity of
deodorant roll-ons and sticks.
In aerosol sprays, silica prevents
suspended active ingredients from
settling and the spray nozzle from
clogging. Another advantage over other
suspending agents is that AEROSIL®
fumed silica can increase the transparency
of deodorants. Particularly on dark
materials, antiperspirants often leave a
fine, white residue. The use of silica
significantly reduces this problem. It is
also not necessary to add iron scavengers
and whitening agents to antiperspirant
sticks made with silica.
AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® silica help
keep the formulation nice and simple!
Compare the results:
With AEROSIL® fumed silica there is much less
residue from the antiperspirant formulation
than from those that contain hectorite, for
example.

AEROSIL® fumed silica prevents
colorant components from reacting
prematurely.
The color starts to work only after
it’s applied to the hair.
AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® –
Improving Hair Care Products
When it comes to volume and color – we can help
Hair Bleaching Agents
AEROSIL® fumed silica effectively
prevents moistening and caking of
peroxo and persulfate salts, which are
usually used in bleaching powders.
This results in improved free-flow
properties, even after prolonged periods
of storage. AEROSIL® products can also
be used as thickening and stabilizing
agents in bleaching creams.
8
Hair Dyes
In hair dyes, AEROSIL® fumed silica
prevents powdered colorant
components from reacting and caking
prematurely. Hydrophilic types are very
effective as drying agents, while
hydrophobic types are particularly
helpful as powder flow regulators.
Dispersion dyes can also be stabilized
with AEROSIL® products.
Hair Conditioners
In conditioners AEROSIL® fumed silica
can help increase the volume of the hair,
counteracting the hair ”flattening“ effect
of the conditioning agents.

improves the payoff of lipstick.

AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® Silica –
Brilliant for Decorative Cosmetics
Your colors will leave a bold and lasting impression
Lipsticks
AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® silica improve
the homogeneous distribution of the
pigments in lipstick. Once applied, the
silica prevents the pigments from
migrating or ‘bleeding’ into the fine
lines of the lips.
AEROSIL®, AEROPERL® and SIPERNAT®
products are versatile raw materials for
decorative cosmetics.
Innovative guide formulations developed by
Evonik show how these products can lead to
totally new ideas.

Face and Eye Makeup
Products such as face powder, rouge,
eye shadow, mascara and cosmetic
pencils can be optimized when silica
products are used. As effective free flow
agents, AEROSIL® and SIPERNAT® silica
improve the flow of powders thereby
improving production productivity. They
also enable the use of high pigment
contents in cosmetic products by acting to
prevent reagglomeration of the pigments.
SIPERNAT® specialty silica is also an
effective mattifying agent that prevents
the face from appearing "shiny“.
Our innovative AEROPERL® and
SIPERNAT® grades can simplify the
production processes of pressed powder
products by acting as a carrier for oils,
fragrances and active ingredients.
With AEROPERL® and SIPERNAT®
silica, even hygroscopic and sticky plant
extracts can be transformed into
free-flowing, storage-stable powders.
Nail Polish
AEROSIL® fumed silica improves the
distribution of nail polish pigments
and prevents them from settling. In
addition, rheological behavior can be
adjusted as required, thus improving the
application properties as well. Clear
nail polish formulations, such as top and
base coats, can be formulated with
AEROSIL® fumed silica, provided that
the refractive index of the solvent
system corresponds to that of the silica.
