Munich, February 27, 2015 – Munich-based chemicals group WACKER will debut its new silicone elastomer gels BELSIL®EG 1 and BELSIL® REG 102 at in-cosmetics 2015. Both products impart a special texture to skin-care products and decorative cosmetics, leaving skin feeling extraordinarily soft and silky smooth. They also make the end products spread readily over the skin. BELSIL®REG 102 additionally provides long-lasting effects by enhancing water and transfer resistance. In-cosmetics will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from April 14 to 16.
Both BELSIL® EG 1 and BELSIL® REG 102 offer enhanced skin-feel properties, compared with established silicone elastomer gels. The
two new products also exhibit pronounced shear-thinning attributes:
they remain solid when at rest but undergo a reversible conversion to
a liquid state in response to shear stress. Products formulated with
them are therefore easy to apply and spread readily over the skin.
Both gels contain cyclopentasiloxane, a volatile silicone fluid widely
used in the cosmetics sector; as a liquid component. When applied,
the cyclopentasiloxane evaporates. Only the elastomer remains on
the skin. As a result, the formulator can freely modify the desired
consistency and sensory effects of the elastomer after its application.
BELSIL® EG 1 is derived from a classic addition-curing silicone
elastomer, whereas BELSIL®REG 102 is based on a specialty
silicone which is crosslinked to a three dimensional network via
silicone resin segments.
As a result, the silicone resin elastomer combines the skin sensation
produced by flexible silicone loops with the good film-forming
properties of silicone resins. This combination of properties makes
BELSIL®REG 102 a multi-functional active ingredient for skin-care
applications and decorative cosmetic products. The gel forms a
water-repellent film that adheres well to the skin without becoming
sticky.
Thanks to its favorable film-forming and adhesion properties,
BELSIL® REG 102 makes cosmetic formulations more water- and
transfer-resistant, thus providing long wear benefits. The product
helps to make lipsticks kiss-proof, prevents makeup from rubbing off
on clothing, and reduces the wash-off of sunscreens. It also adds to
moisturizers and night creams a very pleasant and silky soft skin
feeling. These skin-feel properties are especially favorable and longlasting.
The silicone elastomer serving as the solid gel component in BELSIL®
EG 1 lacks the structural attribute of the silicone resin. Accordingly,
BELSIL® EG 1 is intended for cosmetic products that are not required
to meet high demands on water and transfer resistance. BELSIL®
EG 1 is preferred for enhancing rheological and skin-sensory
properties, especially of skin-care creams, as well as mascaras, skin
cleansers and deodorants.
