From Serums to Sunscreens: How Silica Microspheres Improve Oil Formulations

Enhance Your Oil Formulations with SOLESPHERE™ H-33 and H-53: The Natural Way to Achieve Stability and Performance

Imagine you’re designing the next generation of personal care products—a serum that flows effortlessly, a hair gel that holds its shape, or a cosmetic infused with vibrant pigments. All of these formulations share a common need: structure. That’s where AGC’s SOLESPHERE™ H-33 and H-53 silica microspheres come in, offering a way to gel oils and enhance viscosity, without relying on synthetic additives.

The Science Behind Silica Microspheres

SOLESPHERE™ H-33 and H-53 are made from natural silica, a mineral known for its stability and versatility. In the world of cosmetics and personal care, they serve a key role—transforming oils, both polar and non-polar, into more workable, structured formulas. Whether you’re looking to thicken a serum or stabilize pigments in a colored cosmetic, these microspheres provide the backbone you need.

The Benefits of Incorporating SOLESPHERE™ in Your Formulations

Gelling Power

Both H-33 and H-53 excel at gelling oils, which opens the door to a broader range of textures and consistencies in products like serums and sunscreens.

Pigment Suspension

These microspheres aren’t just about thickening—they’re also colorable, meaning they can evenly suspend pigments and active ingredients, making them ideal for cosmetic products that require visual appeal and functional precision.

Multifunctional Applications

From hair gels to sunscreens, the versatility of SOLESPHERE™ H-33 and H-53 makes them suitable for a wide array of personal care formulations.

The Future of Oil Formulations

As the beauty industry moves toward cleaner, more natural formulations, SOLESPHERE™ silica microspheres provide a sustainable solution for achieving texture and stability in oil-based products. Whether you’re thickening oils or dispersing active ingredients, these natural minerals do the heavy lifting, offering formulators a clean label option without sacrificing performance.
