MIRASIL™​ silicones are used in a wide range of care and cosmetic applications to offer performance and comfort to consumers. For hair care, they are used in shampoos and conditioners to protect and repair, enhance gloss and body, reduce frizz and preserve color. In skin care, they provide a soft and silky emolliency, while being breathable but water repellent in sun-screens and boosting SPF. In antiperspirants and deodorants, they are easy to spread, feel warm and dry on the skin and provide anti-whitening protection. In cosmetics, they spread easily and evenly with a silky and powdery feel while enriching colors and they are safe to use even on the most delicate skin.

MIRASIL

are clear to translucent gels or pastes depending on the degree of compatibility of the silicone elastomers and the carrier fluids. The
elastomer blends are of delicate textures, easy to spread under light shear. They render a range of silky, soft, powdery skin feel, a matte
finish with wrinkle masking effect, and other formulation and efficacy enhancing benefits.
