Cyclic Silicone-Free Elastomers

As mentioned in our regulatory section, Grant fully supports our line of cylomethicone containing products as 100% safe for topical use in any applicable cosmetic and as permitted in any global region. Still, we recognize and service a growing demand for new innovative products.

This page provides links and information on our gel products using alternate solvents to deliver extremely high performance in skin care products. This list is getting longer daily and reflects the incredible speed of innovation occurring within our industry.

With so many custom products, we understand it can be a bit overwhelming to figure out which one to use. Our elastomer selection guide Choosing the Right Elastomer explains some of the differences between the gel classes. Please also call or write for example demo formulas for the types of products you are interested in, as there tends to be far more here in the lab than we are able to place on the website.
