Shin-Etsu debuts new emulsifiers, emollients and additives.
August 2, 2011

Editor
A pioneer in the field of silicones for personal care products, Shin-Etsu Silicones of America (SESA: A U.S. subsidiary of Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., Japan) has recently developed a new generation of cosmetic silicone system products that collectively, and independently, offer formulators distinct characteristics that deliver key stability, functionality and sensory advantages based on their application for a wide variety of cosmetic products, according to the company. The system is comprised of the KSG-360Z silicone gel emulsifier, the KSP-441 hybrid silicone powder and the DMF-2 high purity, low residual dimethicone fluid, respectively. Each product in the system also provides an effective, quality alternative to D5 siloxanes and D5 derivative materials. Whereas the collective products in the system work well together−each product offers independent performance property and sensory benefits, including: KSG-360Z: This series’ crosslinked elastomer silicone gels are emulsifying agents with an excellent, smooth-skin feel that can be used to produce unique water-in-silicone and water in-oil products. The products are viscous gels utilizing dimethicone, volatile silicone or isododecane as the diluent. They function as unique emulsifiers with broad compatibility to improve the active stability of personal care products such as anti-aging skin care, sunscreens, foundations and lipsticks. KSP-441: Specifically developed for achieving high absorption of organic oils, the KSP-441 is a unique hybrid silicone powder consisting of a silicone rubber core with a silicone resin shell. This unique combination offers both the flexibility of silicone rubber and the lubricity of silicone resin. Because of their excellent absorbability of organic oils, they can be added to cosmetic-product applications to control the feeling of the finished products as well as to improve the application feeling on the skin. DMF-2: Designed specifically to provide cosmetic formulators with an effective, quality alternative to D5 siloxanes and D5 derivative materials, Shin-Etsu’s DM-Fluid-2cs (DMF-2) is a high purity, low residual dimethicone fluid. It delivers an enhanced sensory cosmetic solution for applications ranging from foundation and makeup products to skin care, hair care and sunscreens.
