Gransil DMVR

Gransil DMVR is a cyclomethicone-free gel made by dispersing silicone elastomer in a mixture of dimethicone and isoparaffins. Gransil DMVR is a very strong mattifying ingredient and is designed for facial make-up formulations as an oil absorber with a desired attribute of matte, smooth, and non-oily look. This very unique property is due to the two-fold facts: (1) the silicone elastomer in the gel, upon spreading on facial skin releases volatile isoparaffins and at the same time absorbs the non-volatile excess facial oil; and (2) the silicone elastomer particles scatter the incoming rays of light, resulting in a matte look. Gransil DMVR performs like a soft-silicone-powder that provides an excellent silky and smooth feel. Gransil DMVR can be fragranced and used directly as a finished facial care product or coupled with a variety of other active ingredients.
