The product offers an exceptional cushioning (from the elastomer gel), silky, smooth and elegant skin feel during application.
USG-110 dries down to a silky, powdery after feel with long lasting effects.The product is designed to be an effective thickener for silicone oils as well as low molecular weight organic esters and oils.

USPD-3
INCI: Dimethicone (and) titanium dioxide (and) acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate/dimethicone methacrylate copolymer (and) alumina (and) stearic acid
Suggested use levels: 5-50%
Applications: Skin lotions and creams; anti-aging products;skin whitening products; sun care products, lotions, creams, sprays, self-tanners; cosmetics, foundations
Comments: Shin-Etsu USPD-3 is a fine titanium dioxide powder dispersion in 6 cS dimethicone (DM Fluid A-6cS) that effectively prevents UV radiation from reaching the skin.
The product is essentially non-whitening, with a transparent appearance on the skin, and with a silky, light skin feel. The dispersion is stabilized by a proprietary silicone-acrylate copolymer dispersant that helps break down the metal oxide agglomerates to give the dispersion a high active content with low product viscosity. The dispersant also effectively reduces the density of the metal oxides and thereby enhances the suspension stability.
The product provides an important tool for the chemists to make low viscosity sunscreen products, including sprays, with a light, non-greasy skin feel without compromising the stability.
Additionally, USPD-3 is also effective for use in skin care products to provide even-toned finish.
