When neutralized, the acid reacts and produces a film forming material to provide a crystal clear, shiny and comfortable network on skin and hair when dried. Silform™* INX offers formulator’s benefits beyond traditional resins since it does not crack or dull most color cosmetic formulations and helps keep color cosmetics in place while not compromising shine and comfort. Silform™* INX fluid is also effective at helping to control frizz and static in hair, delivering outstanding shine as well as stronger and longer lasting impression of fragrance, even in rinse-off formulations. Silform™* INX fluid is an excellent choice to consider for enhancing lip color formulations, foundations, concealers, mascaras, eyeliners, cream blushes and eye shadows as well as leave-in and rinse-off hair treatments.
