Wacker launches silicone cosmetic ingredients
ERJ staff report (BC)
Munich – Wacker has recently launched a resin elastomer gel for skin care and an emulsion for hair care.
Belsil REG 1100 is a silicone gel that is said to give long-lasting effects in cosmetic formulation with a soft skin feel. Belsil ADM 6102 E is a silicone emulsion for hair conditioning applications.
The transparent, colourless gel is claimed to combine the skin sensation produced by non-crosslinked silicone polymers with the film-forming properties of silicone resins. A solid at rest, it can undergo a reversible transition to the liquid state when rubbed onto the skin.
