MUNICH, GERMANY: Wacker Chemie AG is showcasing several novel products for the cosmetics. The focus is on the silicone fluid emulsion BELSIL DM 5700 E. It enables the manufacture of particularly mild shampoos, promotes foam formation, and has a noticeable conditioning effect even in low quantities.
Another new product is the silicone elastomer gel BELSIL EG 6000, which was designed for use in skin care and decorative cosmetics. This gel leaves skin feeling extremely soft and silky smooth. The amino silicone microemulsion BELSIL ADM 8105 E will also be unveiled to a wide audience of professionals. It makes hair noticeably silkier and easier to comb.
The new phenyl silicone fluid BELSIL PF 22 expands Wacker's portfolio of silicone fluids to include a traditional gloss agent.
BELSIL DM 5700 E, the finely dispersed emulsion of a silicone fluid in water, is one of the highlights that Wacker will be presenting at in-cosmetics. This low-viscosity, a milky-white liquid can be used to formulate shampoos that both clean and condition hair.
Unlike conventional silicone emulsions, BELSIL DM 5700 E contains an emulsifying system that consists of an alkyl poly glucoside and sorbitan laurate. These nonionic surfactants are based on renewable raw materials and make the new emulsion extraordinarily mild and gentle on the skin. Consequently, BELSILDM 5700 E is suitable for use in sulfate-free shampoos.
The new silicone emulsion also has a positive effect on foaming: a shampoo formulated with BELSIL DM 5700 E generates a fine-pored foam that is pleasant to the touch, and so meets consumers’ requirements.
BELSIL EG 6000 – silicone elastomer gel for silky-smooth skin
Used as an active agent in decorative and moisturising cosmetics, the product leaves skin feeling extremely pleasant, something that cannot be achieved in this form with conventional silicone elastomer gels. The gel also ensures that the preparations spread evenly on the skin. The participants in the panel tests, which were performed in Wacker's applications lab described the novel skin feel as supple, mild, non-greasy, silky, and dry.
BELSIL EG 6000 is based on a traditional addition-curing silicone elastomer and contains a linear volatile silicone fluid as its liquid component. This is where the new product differs from conventional silicone elastomer gels, which use either a cyclic or a non-volatile silicone fluid as the liquid base. It can significantly improve the skin-sensory and rheological properties of moisturising creams, mascaras and deodorants.
BELSILADM 8105 E – amino silicone microemulsion for shampoos and conditioners
The amino silicone microemulsion BELSIL ADM 8105 E, which expands the Munich-based chemical Group’s portfolio of silicone emulsions, will also be presented to a wider specialist audience for the first time. BELSIL ADM 8105 E is characterised by its excellent conditioning properties. Hair treated with this product is silky and easy to comb. Typical applications are conditioners, hair masks, and shampoos. The new microemulsion can also be used in transparent shampoo formulations.
BELSIL PF 22 – a traditional gloss agent
This colourless, low-viscosity fluid has a refractive index of 1.46, greater than that of polydimethylsiloxanes. Therefore, BELSIL PF 22 can act as a gloss agent for various cosmetic formulations.
Preparations formulated with BELSIL PF 22 give a high-quality impression both visually and to the touch, can be spread easily and do not feel so tacky. When applied, the phenyl silicone fluid forms a thin fluid film, which not only improves gloss but also makes the hair or skin soft and supple while at the same time developing water repellency without affecting skin breathing. The phenyl silicone fluid thereby reduces, for example, the tackiness of sunscreen formulations while increasing their water resistance.
