FSS SilDerm® Softening
• Improves Texture
• Conditioning
SilDerm® Softening forms a smooth film on the skin, creating a silky, gel-like cushion to allow for the possibility of long-wearing make-up potential. Upon application, the product saturates the senses with its damp, slippery feel that dries to yield a conditioned, soft, even complexion. This is a silicone-based polymer, dispersed in dimethicone, which creates a gel structure that adds a unique textural element and surmounts any problems with polymer absorption characteristics. SilDerm® Softening imparts a silky feel to cosmetic applications, which will help to tangibly enhance the consumer’s experience. The unique technology used in this product allows for customization, including the incorporation of anti-aging and other actives into the gel matrix to provide a functional benefit. Furthermore, the polymer can be wrapped in a variety of materials, like cotton, linen or cashmere. SilDerm® Softening not only enhances the overall aesthetics of a formulation while providing long-wearing benefits, it can be used as a vehicle with which to deliver active material to the skin.
