Silk Powder
What Silk Powder is & what it does
Silk Powder is a finely milled powder made from silk fibers, valued for its soft, silky tactile feel. In cosmetics it is commonly used as a texture and slip agent, lending a smooth, velvety finish and helping with the spread of powders and creams. It also provides light oil absorption, which can give a soft-focus, mattified look. It is found in face powders, primers, and creams where a refined skin-feel is the goal.
