To see the freshest innovations for your color cosmetic and hair, sun and skin care applications, visit Dow Corning at NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2011.

Buzzworthy ingredients include a new flake resin that allows the formation of flexible, durable, comfortable films that offer resistance to transfer, wash-off and rub-off. With Dow Corning’s unique new patented blend of MQ (trimethylsiloxysilicate) and T Propyl (polypropylsilsesquioxane) resins, companies can create color cosmetic, skin care and sun care formulations with the enhanced performance that consumers are looking for. Dow Corning MQ-1640 Flake Resin is 100% active and solvent free, so formulators have flexibility to select their own carrier. Also, in sunscreens, it can potentially improve SPF due to good compatibility with sunscreen actives and improved wash-off resistance.

Dow Corning’s latest silicone organic elastomer blend provides dry smoothness and a silky, lubricious feel and is compatible with many organic and active ingredients. Give your color cosmetics and skin care and sun care products the luxurious, dry smoothness and silky, lubricious feel of silicone elastomer gels.

New hair repair solutions from Dow Corning can assist you in formulating leave-in conditioning products that help restore hair smoothness and reduce dryness and friction.
