The core technology behind matte liquid foundation focuses on four main areas: oil control, film formation, powder processing, and skin nourishment/repair. By 2026, technological advancements in the industry have achieved a breakthrough in delivering a "high-end, soft-focus matte finish with zero powdery feel." The following are the mainstream core technologies:
Core Oil-Control Technologies
Dual-Patent Niacinamide Oil-Control System:Incorporates a patented niacinamide ingredient with 99.9% purity that precisely targets sebaceous glands, reducing sebum secretion by 66%–69% over 24 hours; it also helps brighten the complexion and prevents the base makeup from oxidizing and turning dull.
Physical Oil-Absorption Technology: Utilizes ingredients such as silica microparticles and porous silica spheres to absorb surface oil, creating an immediate soft-focus matte effect; some products also include colloidal sulfur to inhibit the proliferation of *Cutibacterium acnes*, addressing both oil control and acne prevention needs.
Film-Forming and Long-Lasting Technologies
Dual-Polymer Film-Forming Technology (High-Molecular): Uses a combination of cyclopentasiloxane and trimethylsiloxysilicate to create a breathable, waterproof, and durable makeup-locking mesh; the film layer exhibits a dynamic displacement of less than 0.2mm, maintains 91%–93% makeup integrity over 24 hours, and results in less than 8% makeup loss due to mask friction.
Dual-Polymer Film-Forming Technology: Centered on acrylate copolymers and vinyl dimethicone, combined with active ingredients encapsulated in sustained-release microcapsules; this technology maintains 89.2% oil coverage control in the T-zone after 12 hours of wear, balancing long-lasting performance with skin breathability.
Elastic Film-Forming Technology: The formula dynamically expands and contracts with the skin's texture to prevent creasing in expression lines and achieve a "zero-powder" finish; this is a key technological direction attracting significant market attention in 2026.
