Momentive to Introduce SilForm* INX Fluid at in-cosmetics® Barcelona

Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (Momentive), a leader in creating consumer-recognized benefits for the personal care industry, will introduce SilForm INX fluid at in-cosmetics® Barcelona, April 14-16. This versatile new additive can improve formulations for color cosmetics and hair care products.

SilForm INX fluid is a fully functionalized ionic polymer. When neutralized, this reactive polymer forms a shiny, crystal clear ionic network which can provide:

• Transfer resistance
• Extended durability for long-wear cosmetics
• Shine and moisturization in color cosmetics formulations
• Anti-frizz and shine benefits to hair
• Longer retention of fragrance on hair

This innovative silicone chemistry can offer benefits beyond traditional resins since it does not crack or dull most color cosmetic formulations and it is so light and comfortable that it can leave hair feeling touchable and soft. SilForm INX fluid is an excellent choice for cosmetic formulators to consider to enhance their lip color formulations, foundations, concealers, mascaras, eyeliners, cream blushes and eye shadows as well as leave-in and rinse-off hair treatments.

Representatives from Momentive will be demonstrating the benefits of SilForm INX fluid as well as an array of products from their hair care and skin care lines at Booth 6K20.
