Key Attributes
  • NuLastic Silk ID-LSA is made by the polymerization of a high molecular weight silicone elastomer in Isododecane in the presence of a urethane polymer. This unique polymeric marriage of two patented technologies results in a gel that provides outstanding skin feel, lubricity and viscosity associated with silicone elastomers. The polyurethane moiety derived from a vegetable amine and silicone provides increased substantivity, improved wear and film-forming properties.
  • The NuLastic Silk ID-LSA polymer also adds resistance to water and abrasion. The NuLastic Silk ID-LSA can help improve the performance and delivery for a wide range of cosmetic ingredients including sunscreens, vitamins, colorants and skin care actives.
