- Performance
- Moderately volatile elastomer dispersion in Dimethicone and Caprylyl Methicone
- Caprylyl Methicone is a C8-alkyl modified siloxane fluid consisting of a long hydrocarbon radical
- Allows for increased compatibility with organic materials
- Acts as co-solubilizer between silicones and organics
- Low cyclic content (D4, D5 & D6)
- Provides enhanced esthetics to formulations
- Delivers excellent non-tacky, non-oily, smooth characteristics
- Stable delivery vehicle for active materials
- Elastomer network offers sebum absorption and control
- Transformation into matte appearance with powdery after feel
