Dow Corning has launched new high performance silicone ingredients for skin care products. The Dow Corning ES-5600 Silicone Glycerol Emulsifier offers flexibility in oil formulation flexibility and superior emulsification capability, according to the company – including small particle size and high stability – for liquid foundations, colour cosmetics and sun care products.
Dow Corning EP-9801 Hydro Cosmetic Powder combines the sensory benefits of an elastomeric powder with easy dispersion in water to deliver desirable effects in liquid foundations, water-in-oil creams, oil-in-water creams, lotions, gels and toners. The company has also launched a range of high-SPF sun care formulations (SPF35-50) which it says deliver exceptional sensory performance and lightweight touch, as well as being non- whitening on wet skin and offering long-lasting water resistance and sand repellence. They come in a variety of formats, including sprays.
Also new are Dow Corning’s new Aqua Dimensions formulations, comprising three materials including Dow Corning EP-9801 Hydro Cosmetic Powder, as well as Dow Corning DC-2501 Cosmetic Wax and Dow Corning EL-7040 Hydro Elastomer Blend.
