Silicones

Silicones–   Silicones are used in some cosmetic products thanks to their unique sensory benefits and properties, as long lasting effect in lipstick. Silicones are smoothing: they give products like creams or make-up a silky, spreadable, luxurious texture. They also give shine and softness in shampoo and other hair care products.   We have offsets to Dow/Xiameter, Wacker and  Shin-etsu brands.
