Features & Benefits

Characteristics
  • The most pure PMMA bead with the residual monomer content less than 10 ppm.
  • Poly-dispersed bead.
  • PMMA bead corresponding to Covabead PMMA.
Features & Benefits
  • Soft focus micro beads possess the ability to blur skin troubles such as wrinkles
  • Wrinkles on the skin are perceptible though the contrast of light and dark that accentuates even very subtle creases
  • Instead of covering the trouble area by highly opaque materials such as TiO2 , soft focus powder diffuses optical light within the structures.
  • Soft focus powder does not produce whiteness, but rather natural translucent finish
  • Most efficient soft focusing material
  • SH219 approved by ECOCERT, Natural Origin Soft Focusing Agent

Selective Sebum Absorption

No matter how old you are, you might find yourself with the oily, pore clogged skin that leads to acne. Oily skin is a result of excess sebum production from sebaceous glands on the face, neck, chest and back. Excess sebum production is in part because of hormones and hereditary factors and commonly persists beyond adolescence. Fortunately, there are a variety of effective ways to control sebum and clear oily skin, regardless of the forces that cause it.

SUNPMMA S - Selective Sebum Absorption

Need to absorb not moisture but sebum on skin selectively
I can understand that hydrophobic porous PMMA or SUNSIL OLEO can selectively absorbs oil over water when it’s dry.
However, if it’s in emulsion(i.e. skincare) and it’s soaked, can it still absorb oil over water?
