Note for wet applications: Working with fine pigments (small micron size) such as this can clump in your formula. Experienced formulators will mix the pigment with a small amount of batch material in something like a mortar and pestle. Once that small batch is colored and smooth with clumps mashed out, it is then added to the larger amount of base material. APPROVED FOR COSMETIC USE.

However, it is most often seen as an absorbent, because of its ability to absorb moisture and sweat, according to the CosmeticsInfo.org - Silica information. Silica is seen in many make up formulas because its spherical particles not only absorb sweat and oil, but prevent light reflection, and improve spread-ability.
