Gransil EP-9 (INCI: Polysilicone-11, water, laureth-12, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin) is a 60% emulsion of spherical elastomer powder. A controlled particle size of 2-4 microns offers enhanced aesthetics and improved formula dispersibility, according to Grant Industries. Gransil EP-9 technology offers a number of advantages over other materials including cost performance and ease of use. Ideally suited for “instant” soft focus effect formulations, Gransil EP-9’s performance comes from its concentrated elastomer content (60% polysilicone-11). This concentration provides an intensified wrinkle filling and line blurring function to visibly diminish lines and wrinkles—in addition soft cushion and silky sensory feel is experienced on application.
Gransil EP-9 can be combined with active ingredients to offer both immediate and long-term benefits in formulations. Ideal formulations include those designed to mask crow’s feet and under eye blemishes. Gransil EP-9 delivers an excellent non-tacky, non-oily, smooth feel to all applications areas. The end result leaves a powdery after feel on the applied area. The elastomer network also offers sebum absorption and control to soak up excess oils on the skin and T-Zone areas.
Gransil EP-9 can be formulated into oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions, dispersions, and other formulating systems. For water-based formulations Gransil EP-9 can simply be combined with the aqueous phase to create effective products. Suggested use level is 5-45% depending on the application; 25-45% for instant soft focus and 5-10% for added sensory feel. Please reference Grant Industries formulation G103-118-1 Wrinkle Eraser Cream for starting points. Applications areas include skincare, color cosmetics, body care, and sun care. Gransil EP-9 has a globally approved regulatory status along with a non-irritating, non-sensitizing safety profile.
