Silicone-Based Ingredients

First developed in the late 19th century, silicones, derived from sand and quartz, gained popularity due to their versatility. They can take various forms, from water-thin liquids that spread and evaporate readily to oils, pastes and solids. Their compatibility with numerous formulation ingredients, low chemical reactivity and low toxicity makes them ideal for personal care products like skin and sun care, body lotion and makeup.

Our silicone-based ingredients include film-formers, conditioning agents, sensory enhancers, and emollients that enhance the performance of color cosmetics, hair care, skin care and sun care formulations while providing a soft, silky feel.
