PECOSIL

PECOSIL® G-600 is a slightly hazy silicone gel that provides luxurious emolliency, spreadability, and cushion to all skin products. It leaves the skin with a pronounced silky, powdery, light waxy elegance. PECOSIL® G-600 is not water soluble and acts as a moisture barrier that contributes to softness in all makeup, skin and sunscreen products. The sensory properties contributed by PECOSIL® G-600 are proportional to the concentration of PECOSIL® G-600 used and can vary from 2 – 50%.

PECOSIL® DDL is the diester resulting from the esterification of Dimethiconol and Lactic Acid. It is a 100% active liquid that spreads easily on skin leaving the skin with a silicone-like, silky soft “feel”. In addition to its use in skin creams and lotions its use is also clearly indicated in haircare products for conditioning and manageability as well as in lipstick and makeup products. It is postulated that enzymes found in the skin’s epidermis will hydrolyze esters and free up the corresponding alpha-hydroxyl acid so it may perform its exfoliating affect. PECOSIL® DDL not only provides moisturization through a semi-occlusive barrier effect, but also delivers the alpha-hydroxyl acid (lactic acid) via a slow release owing to the skin’s own natural esterase.

Phenyl Trimethicone is a short chain silicone particularly suitable for hair conditioning where it provided sheen and softness and as an occlusive skin conditioning agent. It is non-oily, not greasy, and provides an emollient silky feel on skin. The sensory properties of PECOSIL® PTF also dictate its use in sunscreens, makeup products for color cosmetics and in stick deodorants.
