Enhance Texture and Coverage with Momentive Softouch™

With imparted qualities ranging from soft focus to shine, opacity to translucence and lubricity to absorbency, Momentive Softouch™ boron nitride (BN) powders typical benefits span the full extent of desired visual and sensory impacts of cosmetic products. Momentive Softouch™ BN powders can offer flexibility in achieving a range of optical properties including masking of skin defects such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. They can also be a very useful tool for formulators to achieve optical effects including instant radiance, luminosity and a means to counteract dull, lifeless skin.

For lip and eye color, facial powders and foundations, concealers and anti-aging products, sunscreen, and skin care creams and moisturizers, Momentive Softouch™ BN powders can provide the unusual combination of excellent slip and long-lasting adhesion. Slip provides a silky, smooth, lubricious feel as well as enhanced spreading and coverage characteristics. Adhesion contributes notably long wear and transfer resistance.

Momentive Softouch™ BN powders can help formulators provide numerous sensory and visual enhancement benefits, due to their range of particle morphologies - from a flat, graphitic, hexagonal crystal structure to rounded platelets to noncrystalline, fine particles. Depending on the Momentive Softouch™ BN powder grade employed, cosmetic products containing it may give the wearer's skin: 

• Soft focus
• Opaque, matte finish
• Translucence and semi-matte finish
• Translucence and a high "shine" or "dewy" appearance
• Pearlescent finish
• Improved oil absorbance
