FAQ

Advice & Answers
Disruptive Materials

Can Upsalite® be used in aerosols?

Yes, Upsalite® is approved and already used in various aerosol products.

What makes Upsalite® unique?

The Secret is in the Pores:

Upsalite® is truly a multifunctional ingredient with a narrow pore size distribution, and a high surface area which enables superior simultaneous absorption of lipophilic and hydrophilic substances such as sebum and sweat. The porous structure gives Upsalite® the ability to absorb more than other commonly used ingredients in addition to scattering light and increasing adhesion to skin.

Is Upsalite® a nanomaterial?

Upsalite® is not considered a nanomaterial according to EU and US regulations. It has a particle size distribution where less than 50% of the particles are sized below 100 nm, determined by a Tier 2 analytical method. Additionally, it is neither insoluble nor bio persistent, which aligns with the EU definition of a nanomaterial.

Does Upsalite® work with any type of formula?

Upsalite® is compatible with anhydrous or water-free formulations. It works well with both dry and liquid anhydrous binders and is compatible with high pigment levels, providing a smooth, natural finish with shine control and sheer coverage. However, it is not recommended for use in water formulations as its structure attracts water, which can lead to crystallization and degradation of the porous structure over time.

How do I get a sample of Upsalite®?

Please submit a request via our 'contact us' button.

Is Upsalite® Natural?

Upsalite® has a Natural Origin Index of 0.99 and as such, are to be considered under the definition as a Derived Mineral according to the definition in ISO 16128-2 2017 (Criteria for ingredients and products). Upsalite can be made with a Natural Origin Index of 1.00 by request.

Is Upsalite® COSMOS approved?

Upsalite® (C101) is a raw material verified by ECOCERT GREEN LIFE, compliant with the COSMOS Standard and without animal origin (F363(COS)v09, Issued 02/11/2021).
