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
