Where Upsalite® is used

Upsalite® is formulated into makeup, deodorant, high-performance sports products, hair care and fragrance. Here is what it does in each category — and the sub-categories where formulators use it.

01

Makeup

  • Face
  • Cheek
  • Lip
  • Eye

Across foundation, concealer, highlighter, primer, setting spray and setting powder, Upsalite® absorbs sebum on contact and keeps absorbing through the day — on average 1.2 g of oil per gram of powder. Its light-scattering pore structure gives a true soft-focus effect, with no shimmer and no flashback.

Deodorant

  • Stick
  • Aerosol
  • Cream
  • Powder

Upsalite® keeps skin dry by absorbing sweat and odour-trapping moisture — and unlike talc, it absorbs sweat and oil at the same time.

High Performance Sports Formulas

  • Anti chafe
  • Grip Enhancer
  • Chamois Cream
  • Deodorizer

In anti-chafe sticks, grip products and chamois creams, Upsalite® manages sweat, oil and friction in one material — staying dry under load.

Hair

  • Dry Shampoo

Upsalite® absorbs scalp sebum in minutes — reaching saturation in about 5 minutes where silica needs an hour — and works in both aerosol and powder formats.

Fragrance

  • Load and release – fragrance carrier

Upsalite®’s pore network loads and gradually releases fragrance, extending scent duration as a carrier in powder and stick formats.
