Granhydrosil PSQ-W-GL

Granhydrosil PSQ-W-GL is a physically modified glycerin with hydrophilic spherical powder of polymethylsilsesquioxane having an average particle size of 5 microns. For centuries, glycerin has been used as a skin moisturizer and proven to be a safe, natural ingredient for skin care. It was recently found that when phospholipase D, an enzyme found throughout the body, pairs with glycerin, it produces a distinctive signal that directs skin cell maturation and proliferation. When glycerin was given topically to testing models, many skin problems were resolved. Other water-attracting agents didn't work so well. By incorporating the hydrophilic powder of polymethylsilsesquioxane in a glycerin matrix, Granhydrosil PSQ-W-GL provides outstanding features including:

  • Soften, moisturize and heal dry skin
  • Non-oily, non-greasy, powdery feel and translucent skin appearance
  • Synergized hydrating power
  • Oil-free, surfactant-free, powerful penetration delivery system
