Silsoft* Silicones for Personal Care - While Momentive silicones have long benefited personal care products with softness and smoothness, our scientists continually improve upon this foundation and engineer new or enhanced value-adding features into our functionalized silicone products. Our Silsoft silicone fluids portfolio has captured such features in products that can also perform effectively at low use levels and, therefore enable impressive potential cost efficiencies. Silsoft silicone fluids can help provide unique sensory enhancement while delivering superior smoothness, protection and shine, flawless coverage, and a soft, rich texture
