DIMETHICONE & DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER

Product Description

This product is a high-performance silicone elastomer gel, featuring a dispersion of a dimethicone crosspolymer in a low-viscosity, non-volatile dimethicone fluid. It is expertly designed to provide a long-lasting, velvety, and matte finish with an exceptionally smooth skin feel. Its key advantage over volatile silicone gels is its ability to deliver a durable moisturizing and mattifying effect, as the non-volatile carrier remains on the skin to form a breathable, conditioning film. For formulators seeking to create premium primers, foundations, and skincare with a persistent soft-focus effect and a comfortable, silky after-feel, this elastomer gel is a superior choice.

Product Uses

This advanced sensory modifier is a cornerstone for creating products with a durable, flawless, and matte finish:

• Color Cosmetics: The ideal base for long-wearing makeup primers, mattifying foundations, and cream-to-powder formulations, providing excellent spreadability and a lasting soft-focus look.
• Skincare: Used in anti-aging creams, serums, and lotions to provide an instant smoothing effect and a silky, non-tacky, and long-lasting protective feel.
• Sun Care: Enhances the sensory profile of sunscreen products, providing a smooth, matte appearance and a comfortable, long-wearing film.

Formulation Suggestions

A typical use level ranges from 2-90%, depending on the desired effect. It can be incorporated into the oil/silicone phase of an emulsion, or it can be used as a primary base for anhydrous formulations. It provides excellent quick absorption and spreadability. When added to a formulation, it imparts a unique velvety feel and a lasting matte effect. It is compatible with a wide variety of cosmetic oils and is particularly effective at thickening the silicone phase of a formulation.
