SilDerm Powder Gel
Silicone compounds are functional materials for use in skin and hair care formulations. These synthetic materials have existed since the 1860s while increasing in popularity during recent years due to their unique features, including surface tension reduction, wetting, and emulsification1. Silicone is a polymer with repeating units of silicon and oxygen, and silicone polymers offer formulations a phase that is soluble neither in water or oil. However, silicone polymers provide the most flexible backbone structures which cater to their application in adhesives, emulsions, antifoams, and surfactants2. With a high level of biocompatibility and added sensory appeal, silicones have become a popular option in many personal care products. SilDerm® Powder Gel harnesses the benefits of silicone-based materials for further implementation in the cosmetic and personal care industry.
Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) and cyclohexasiloxane (D6) are both notably referred to as cyclic dimethyl polysiloxane compounds, or
cyclomethicones. These silicone-based cyclic compounds function as anticaking and hair and skin conditioning agents, as well as emollients
and solvents in cosmetic products3.
Additionally, polydimethylsiloxone (dimethicone) is an extremely flexible and hydrophobic chain that can be used as a lubricant for conditioning
benefits, such as adding softness and ease of detangling to hair4. Dimethicone is a homopolymer that is insoluble in both water and
mineral oil, and has also been referred to as silicone fluid, silicone oil, or simply silicone1.
Furthermore, laureth-12 (PPG-3-laureth-12) is an alkyl PPG ether that functions as a surfactant, and as a skin conditioning and emulsifying agent in cosmetic products5. Some alkyl PPG (polypropylene glycol) ethers can
even enhance the penetration of other ingredients through the skin.
Benefits:
- Conditioning
- Nourishing
- Emollient
