Formulation view Dry powder compact based on talc and mica, layered with titanium dioxide and mineral powders for coverage and matte finish. Silane coupling agents enhance powder adhesion, while minimal mineral oils improve slip. Suited for oily or combination skin. Formulator's note: multi-mineral system requires uniform dispersion; trace silane prevents agglomeration, enhancing powder extendability and skin adherence.
