    you mean Boron Nitride? What are you trying to use it in?  I’m assuming some kind of makeup/ color cosmetic. There are powders like talc or mica, but without knowing what you want to do it will be hard for people to make good suggestions

    @EVchem, You are correct. I got some ingredients that are claimed to instantly lift the face in 3 minutes and last up to 6 - 8  hours. This instant lift cream will be used as foundation.

    @EVchem, I am able to create nice cream that performs instant lift after 3 to 5 minutes. But, when I add other active ingredients such as moisture, wrinkle reducer, etc…to the formula. Then the cream still looks nice and soft. But the instant lift function is not working anymore.

    You may be trying to pack too much in to one formula. 

    For instant lift the products I know of are things like Easyliance (Acacia Senegal Gum (and) Hydrolyzed Rhizobian Gum) or some other kind of film former that will make the face feel tight.
