Gransil PSQ

Gransil PSQ is spherical polymethylsilsesquioxane powder with a particle size range of 3 - 10 microns. It is the superior choice for improving lubricity in cosmetics, such as foundation and lipstick, while enhancing water repellency, anti-caking and surface-slip. When compared to spherical silica powder, Gransil PSQ yields a softer touch, has better compatibility with silicone containing bases, gives higher gloss finish and adds a favorable thioxotropic profile. Gransil PSQ is recommended for use in cream, foundation, lipstick, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara and powder products.
