Gransil GAM

Gransil GAM is an alkyl modified silicone gel with increased organic oil compatibility for color make-up and skin care formulations and is a good choice for D5-replacement. Gransil GAM offers a unique dispersing ability for pigments. Gransil GAM performs as soft-powder that provides an excellent fresh, silky and non-tacky feel. In addition, Gransil GAM provides a light, matte, pleasant lipophilic layer that retains skin moisture and allows skin to breathe through silicone film. Gransil GAM is a D5-replacement for Gransil GCM-5, but with a lower volatile rate.
