Applications & Uses
The simple (and effective) way to load silicone elastomers into water-based formulations; water-coated GRANSIL SiW ELASTOMER GELS are the new vehicle of choice for creating personal care products. Technically GRANSIL SiW ELASTOMER GELS offer formulators the ideal opportunity for loading high levels of Polysilicone-11 elastomer into water-based gel structures with minimal use of emulsifiers (at levels below 0.5%), and by cold processing methods. Stable formulations achieved with such low levels of emulsifiers also serve as excellent delivery-bases for active ingredients.
The challenges of dispersing standard silicone elastomers in water are well known. Standard silicone elastomers can be very difficult to disperse uniformly in external water phase emulsions or aqueous gels due to their inability to fit into o/w micelles, and general hydrophobic incompatibility with water. Often when processing, excessive levels of surfactants and high shear energy is required to disperse and maintain particles to a stable state. High concentrations of surfactants (which coat particles to maintain a dispersion) unfortunately reduce the elastomer sensory properties by creating tackiness. Surfactants are also more likely to cause skin irritation or some level of barrier disruption. The unique design of versatile GRANSIL SiW ELASTOMER GELS resolves these challenges.
GRANSIL SiW ELASTOMER GELS can be formulated to offer unique sensory benefits with a water-topowder break on application. The outer water phase cools, soothes and hydrates skin on contact, while seconds later silicone elastomer particles release from a gel matrix to fill lines and even complexion with soft powder-like texture. GRANSIL SiW ELASTOMER GELS can also be used to improve sensory aesthetics of existing emulsions with easy post-addition. Grant Industries offers a wide range of gels from high volatility to non-volatile meeting the sensory and regulatory requirements of any formulation project. Applications include skin care, daily wear, color cosmetics, sun care, body care, and hair care.
