Scientists may never discover the fountain of youth, but that doesn’t mean you have to look your age. Personal care products containing silicones help minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles, keep your skin feeling silky smooth, and restore your hair’s luster, smoothness and volume, so you can look as young as you feel, according to sources at Dow Corning.
“Consumers want beauty and personal care products that deliver results, are easy to use and affordable, and require minimal reapplication,” said Kevin Murphy, global marketing manager for Dow Corning’s Xiameter brand. “Silicone technology is fueling the next generation of products that provide these benefits simultaneously, promoting a more youthful appearance.”
The Xiameter brand offers a wide range of standard silicone solutions for beauty and personal care products, including Xiameter MEM-1784 Emulsion that can help skin feel supple and silky when used in shower gels, and when used in shampoos can help hair look shiny and feel soft, according to the company. Using Xiameter MEM-1785 Emulsion and Xiameter MEM-1788 Emulsion in 2-in-1 shampoos can improve wet combing, so hair feels soft, smooth and manageable. Also, Xiameter MEM-0949 Emulsion can provide color protection and conditioning in hair care applications, and Xiameter MEM-8177 Emulsion can provide conditioning properties and improve color depth and longevity.
“With a wide variety of silicones to choose from, the Xiameter brand is giving leading beauty and personal care brands greater flexibility to create unique product categories with sensory benefits that stand out in a competitive marketplace,” Murphy said.
