Each SiW micro-dispersion is specifically designed for ease of formulation and the highest degree of premium quality and aesthetics for the intended application. This allows incorporation of silicone gels and powders into the most difficult formulating environments, including highly volatile delivery solvents and mixed polar phases. The avoidance of traditional emulsifiers minimizes surfactants masking the feel or activity of preservatives or other functional materials. Gransil SiW products are available for the following cosmetic areas: Color (foundations, concealers, eye shadow); Skin Care (Creams and Lotions, with difficult to solubilize actives); Hair Care (2-in-1 premixes of high molecular weight silicones and deposition aids).
