White Sapphire® Matte
White Sapphire® Matte is a high-purity mineral performance ingredient engineered for oil control, surface refinement, and long-wear cosmetic and SPF formulations.
Featuring a controlled hexagonal particle structure, it enhances oil absorption, reduces surface gloss, and improves formulation stability in both powder and emulsion formats.
When used in combination with zinc oxide, it contributes to SPF enhancement while maintaining a smooth, non-greasy finish.
Controls surface shine without whitening
Improves adhesion in powder and emulsion systems
Enhances SPF performance when combined with zinc oxide
Key Formulation Benefits
White Sapphire® Matte is designed for formulations requiring oil control, anti-sweat performance, soft-focus finish enhancement, and long-wear stability.
SPF Boosting: Clinically proven to enhance UV protection in combination with ZinClear® XP zinc oxide.
Mattifying & Oil Absorption: Controls shine by absorbing excess oil, giving a smooth, dry-touch effect.
Anti-Sweat Performance: Reduces sweating, helping sunscreen and makeup stay intact.
Extended Wear: Improves product longevity by reducing breakdown from sebum and sweat.
Superior Adhesion: Improves cohesion and stability in pressed powders, foundations, and emulsions.
Safe & Sustainable: Non-nano, inert aluminium oxide produced under ISO, FDA and TGA-aligned manufacturing standards.
