Recommended Uses: Silmer TQ9-30 is especially formulated to bloom to the surface of color cosmetic, lipstick and skin care products to provide a barrier with maximum non-transfer properties to color cosmetics.

Silmer TQ9-30’s unique structure provides excellent transfer resistance to both water-based and oil-based formulations.

Silmer TQ9-30 also provides a soft, silky feel to color cosmetics and gives a moderate improvement in hardness to various lipstick formulations evaluated in house. Silmer TQ9-30 shows the best efficacy when used at around 30% by weight of the total formulation.
