Application Details

BELSIL® DM 50 is widely used in a highly varied range of personal-care formulations. Formulations with BELSIL® DM 50 have better spreading properties and can be easily distributed on the skin. In these formulations, it imparts a hydrophobic, protective but breathable barrier to the skin, simultaneously minimizing stickiness. It reduces whitening and imparts a soft emolliency to the skin.
