Spring is here, and the number of times we put on makeup is gradually increasing. At this time, the perfect makeup must not only show natural luster, but also withstand the breeze, occasional drizzle and even the rising temperature. Foundation, eye shadow and lipstick must not only be smooth and easy to apply, but also last for a long time. The secret of all this may be hidden in a low-key but key ingredient - IOTA n-octyl triethoxy silane.

IOTA n-octyl triethoxy silane is responsible for processing the powders that determine the texture and color of makeup - talc, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and mica. They each have their own duties: talc gives the foundation a silky touch and controls oil and lasts; titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are physical sunscreens that can cover blemishes and protect against ultraviolet rays; mica gives highlights and eye shadows a delicate luster, making the makeup more layered.

However, the natural defect of powder is that it is easy to clump and uneven, while IOTA n-octyl triethoxysilane can form an extremely thin hydrophobic film on the surface of powder, making them easier to blend with organic oils, making the makeup more uniform, not floating powder, and maintaining a long-lasting makeup effect. This effect comes from its molecular structure: the long hydrophobic chain wraps the powder, making it waterproof and sweat-resistant; the triethoxysilane group is firmly combined with the cosmetic ingredients to ensure that the makeup is not easy to fall off; the moderate molecular size allows it to be stably distributed in the makeup without affecting the texture; and the excellent chemical stability ensures that the formula is long-lasting and effective and not easy to degrade.

When you paint a delicate makeup this spring, IOTA n-octyl triethoxysilane is quietly playing a role, making each foundation more docile and each makeup more light and natural.
