Loose mineral powder

Loose mineral powder is a product familiar to anyone who appreciates light coverage without a mask effect. In the formulas that can be purchased at Hillary, this is provided by silicate spheres (mineral microgranules with a round shape). It is the shape of the granules that is responsible for how the powder falls on the skin and how long the result lasts.

The composition of loose mineral powder that is worth knowing

The basis and only component of the product are silicate spheres (Silica Powder Spheres). This is 100% natural silicon dioxide. Due to the shape of the microparticles, this mineral perfectly performs all the necessary functions in the texture of the powder that you decide to buy for a specific result:

1. Silicon dioxide in the form of spheres works as an optical modifier. It refracts light and creates a blurring (soft focus) effect. This visually hides skin irregularities.
2. Microgranules have a high absorption capacity. This helps to effectively absorb excess sebum and provide a long-lasting matte finish.
3. Silicate spheres form a light, weightless texture. It is evenly distributed and creates a silky coating.

Loose mineral powder lays down in a thin layer, without clogging pores. This is important for daily facial care. Especially at times when the skin needs to "breathe" even under makeup.

Why the shape of the granules affects the result

The round shape of the microgranules is not a marketing ploy to motivate you to buy the product. This is a technological feature compared to other powders from the corresponding section of the Hillary catalog. It affects how light is scattered on the surface of the skin. The granules fill in micro-unevenness of the relief, so small wrinkles and pores become less noticeable.

This is the principle of the optical modifier. It is not dense coverage that works here, but light scattering. This effect goes well with pre-care – in particular, products with niacinamide, which even out the tone before applying powder.

How to apply and when to refresh loose mineral powder

The method of application affects the result no less than the formula itself. Here's how to distribute the care throughout the day.

A foam or facial gel is recommended for cleansing. And for sensitive skin, a special gentle care is suitable. If you want to test the formula on your own experience, you can buy mineral loose powder right here and now.
