Spherical amorphous silica beads "EXCEBEADS™"
EXCEBEADS™ is a spherical non-porous silica with a particle size of 3 to 10 μm produced by vapor phase reaction.
EXCEBEADS™ is amorphous, high purity, and highly spherical due to TOKUYAMA's unique manufacturing process, and can be widely used in various cosmetic products, especially as a substitute for micro plastic beads.

Special characteristics
- Silky Smooth Skin feel: The narrow and uniformed particle size distribution provides a silky, smooth skin feel.
- Amorphous: The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that EXCEBEADS™ is amorphous.
- Eco-Friendly: EXCEBEADS™ can be an alternative to micro plastic beads and is an environmentally friendly material. Its natural origin index is 1. (acc. to ISO 16128)
- Non-porus:It is unlikely to affect the function of the product such as viscosity.
- High purity: EXCEBEADS™ is produced in a closed system using highly purified materials, resulting in silica with a trace of impurities such as radioelements, heavy metal elements, or ionic elements.
Key properties and effects
- Soft Focus Effect：Reducing the visibility of wrinkles and pores by reducing unevenness both physically and optically.
- Polishing/Scrubbing Effect：The highly spherical particles act as a scrubbing agent that is skin-friendly (consists of glass components found in nature). Potential alternative to plastic beads.
- Increases Volume：A chemically stable excipient that increases volume with low thickening. Does not affect formulation, and is safe and gentle on the skin.
