(Personal Care Ingredient Asia) PCIA 2007 this week. Silsoft E-Pearl
emulsion is a multi-functional ingredient that provides outstanding
sensory, moist feel, line blurring and skin lightening benefits to a
wide array of personal care cosmetics products.
Silsoft* E-Pearl emulsion is a milky white, non-ionic, patent
pending product made of Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Dimethicone and
Cetearyl Methicone. Silsoft E-Pearl emulsion is easy to use. It can be
post-added directly to any skin care finished product to deliver
outstanding sensory benefits.
Ms. Beatriz Blanco, Global Personal Care Marketing Manager,
Momentive Performance Materials, said, "This is another example of
Momentive's world-class silicones technology. This product's
multi-functionality is the result of the unique combination of its
ingredients. Silsoft E-Pearl emulsion enables the formulator to give
outstanding sensory to skin care products with high water content,
even when the product contains more than 90% water"
Silsoft* E-Pearl emulsion can be used in all kinds of cosmetic and
personal care products; from facial masks, toners, cleansers, to
sunscreens, body washers, foundations, and sun care products. Silsoft
E-Pearl emulsion is specially recommended for facial mask
applications. A Facial Mask base with 3% Silsoft* E-Pearl showed
enhanced softness, absorbency, line blurring, whiteness and
slipperiness as well as reduced tackiness.
