Shin-Etsu Silicones’ Natural Diluent System Offers Sensorial Benefits

The demand for natural ingredients in cosmetic products is growing, according to reports.
 

Propelling this trend forward, Shin-Etsu Silicones Europe B.V. has introduced its KSG-45 Alkyl Modified Silicone Elastomer Gel in which alkyl-modified silicone is crosslinked with silicone.

 

The goal of the product is to allow cosmetic formulators to capitalize on the performance and sensorial advantages of silicone products, while maximizing the natural content. Ultimately, KSG-45 is mainly plant-based, per the company.
 

KSG-45 Alkyl Modified Silicone Elastomer Gel contains coco-caprylate/caprate, a light emollient ester that absorbs quickly and leaves a dry but silky finish on the skin, said the supplier. Also, it helps solubilize other cosmetic ingredients and provides a light, non-oily, smooth and velvety skin sensation.

It combines well with Shin-Etsu’s leading silicone elastomer technology.
