Dimethicone (and) PEG-10 Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer (and) Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Introduction

SiSiB® PC16238 is a gel made from a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol-modified silicone crosslinked polymer and silicone resin mixture, dispersed in low-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane. It provides a unique velvety and powdery smoothness, delivering a matte mist effect. This ingredient forms a durable elastic film on the skin, reducing pigment migration and improving water resistance. In lip gloss formulations, it enhances color, creates a velvety texture, and improves film formation.

SiSiB® PC16238 helps cover fine wrinkles, smoothens skin, and offers long-lasting, skin-fitting makeup with a natural finish. It can also improve the rheological properties of formulas, serving as an auxiliary emulsifier to enhance product stability. This versatile ingredient can be used in various skincare and cosmetic products, including lotions, water creams, lip gloss, lipstick, BB/CC creams, liquid foundations, concealers, sunscreens, and hair care products. It is especially recommended for lip gloss formulas.
