POLYSILICONE-11 ELASTOMER POWDERS (see also Gransil elastomer gels)
Product Description	INCI Name
Gransil EP-9
Gransil EP-9 is a 60% emulsion of spherical silicone elastomer powder with particle size within the range of 2-4 microns.	Polysilicone-11 (and) Water (and) Laureth-12 (and) Phenoxyethanol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin
Gransil EP-LS
A silicone elastomer powder that is prepared by spray-drying an o/w emulsion of cross-linked silicone elastomer and contains only enough surfactant to prevent agglomeration. This treatment favors elastomer dispersion in oil phase.	Polysilicone-11 (and) Laureth-12
Gransil EPS
A silicone elastomer powder that is prepared by spray-drying an o/w emulsion of cross-linked silicone elastomer. Contains enough surfactant to assist elastomer being dispersed in an aqueous phase.	Polysilicone-11 (and) Laureth-12
Gransil LS-Au
A silicone elastomer powder infused with colloidal gold to give a rich and natural rose tint to cosmetics	Polysilicone-11 (and) Laureth-12 (and) Gold
POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANES
Product Description	INCI Name
Granhydrosil PSQ-W-GL
A hydrated powder of polymethylsilsesquioxane with glycerin polyol for excellent dispersibility in hydrating water-based formulations.	Glycerin (and) Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) Water (and) Phenoxyethanol
Granpowder Lumiere Series
As we age, our skin dramatically loses its ability to fluoresce blue and green light. This lack of fluorescence leads to a prematurely aged, and unhealthy appearance.	Benzimidazole Diamond Amidoethyl Urea Carbamoyl Propyl Polymethylsilsesquioxane
Granpowder PSQ-Au
A spherical polymethylsilsesquioxane powder surface modified with 24 carat gold.	Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) Gold
Granpowder PSQ-Diamond-10
A combination of a premium silky silicone powder and a cosmetic-grade of real micronized diamond powder for soft focus effects.	Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) Diamond Powder
Granpowder PSQ-Pt
A spherical polymethylsilsesquioxane powder surface modified with elemental platinum	Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) Platinum
Granpowder T-35
A technologically advanced ultrafine TiO2 / PSQ composite powder useful for daily wear cosmetics with UV protection. Provides an extraordinary combination of great feel and high SPF. This composite form helps minimize in-process TiO2 dust formation.	Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) Titanium Dioxide (and) Stearic Acid (and) Alumina
Granpowder USQ
A unique premium blend of two spherical powders of polyurethane and polymethylsilsesquioxane with an optimized "soft focus" effect and a soft, creamy feel to the touch.	Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
Granpowder Z-35
A technologically advanced ultrafine ZnO / PSQ composite powder useful for daily wear cosmetics with UV protection. Provides a combination of extraordinary feel and high SPF efficacy. This composite form helps minimize in-process ZnO dust formation. Part of our UV Series of products.	Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) Zinc oxide
Gransil PSQ
A spherical polymethylsilsesquioxane powder with an average particle size under 10 microns for improving lubricity, water repellency, anti-caking, slip, soft-focus and overall feel.	Polymethylsilsesquioxane
Gransil PSQ-W
A hydrated powder of polymethylsilsesquioxane for excellent dispersibility in water-based formulations. Good opacifier for aqueous serums	Polymethylsilsesquioxane (and) Water
HYBRID INTERPENETRATING POLYMERS
Product Description	INCI Name
Gransil ECA
A hybrid silicone composite powder coated with citric acid for improved powder dispersing properties.	Dimethicone/Divinyldimethicone/Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer (and) Citric Acid
