In color cosmetics, skin care, and sun care products, skin feel and finish are the most intuitive criteria for consumers. The greasiness caused by oils, the appearance of fine lines, and the dryness from powders often present formulators with difficult trade-offs. Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer (and) Silica – a silicone elastomer microsphere powder – offers a new skin feel experience for personal care products with its unique oil-absorbing, thickening, wrinkle-covering, and long-lasting silky properties.
This product is a white, loose silicone elastomer microsphere powder with a good silky feel. It absorbs both polar and non-polar oils (including sebum) and disperses easily in the oil phase. The fine microspheres fill into wrinkles, providing a physical wrinkle-smoothing effect. It can be used in color cosmetics, skin care, sun care, and other personal care products to deliver a long-lasting, soft, silky feel and powdery sensation.
