ZeoSAES® Soft Focus

Texture Control and Powder Structuring Performance

ZeoSAES® Soft Focus is an advanced soft focus powder developed to improve the texture, stability and sensory profile of cosmetic formulations. Its multifunctional mineral structure combines soft focus performance, rheology modification and viscosity control, helping formulators create elegant textures with enhanced processing efficiency across a wide range of Beauty & Personal Care applications.

In addition to delivering a refined matte appearance, ZeoSAES® Soft Focus supports powder structuring, improves formulation consistency and contributes to reliable processing in both skincare and makeup systems.

Optical Blurring and Skin Appearance Enhancement

ZeoSAES® Soft Focus creates an effective blurring effect by diffusing light and reducing the visibility of skin imperfections. It helps formulators achieve a naturally smooth complexion while maintaining skin luminosity and color fidelity.

Its optical performance enhances the visual appearance of cosmetic products without creating an artificial finish, making it ideal for modern complexion and hybrid beauty formulations.

Oil Control and Matte Finish

ZeoSAES® Soft Focus contributes to effective oil control by helping absorb excess sebum and reducing unwanted shine throughout wear. It delivers a long-lasting matte finish while maintaining a comfortable skin feel, supporting high-performance skincare, suncare and makeup formulations.

Silica Alternative for Pressed Powder Formulations

ZeoSAES® Soft Focus can be used as an effective silica alternative in advanced cosmetic formulations. Its mineral structure improves powder compaction, reinforces product cohesion and supports the development of high-quality pressed powder systems with excellent processing performance and sensory properties.

Versatility Across Cosmetic Formulations

From pressed powders and complexion products to skincare and hybrid formulations, ZeoSAES® Soft Focus adapts to a broad range of formulation needs. Its combination of texture optimization, optical enhancement and formulation stability makes it a versatile ingredient for developing next-generation Beauty & Personal Care products.
