Elastomer Gels

Featuring Polysilicone-11 and Stearoxymethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer

To help you find a product quickly, this extensive line is grouped by several categories that are explained in more detail below. Click any product name to go directly to specifications and specific guide formula links

Volatile Gels All solvent evaporates to leave a powdery elastomer feel. Polysilicone-11 is then able to absorb excess facial oils for a matte "oil control" appearance.
