Gransil 314
Gransil 314 is a silicone blend of about 15% super high viscosity silicone with cyclopentasiloxane. Gransil 314 provides an exceptionally silky feel and prolonged substantivity, leaving a soft film on skin to protect the skin moisture barrier. When combined with oils, Gransil 314 effectively eliminates disfavored tacky feel. The recommended usage level is 1 - 5% for general skin-care, hair care and make up formulas.
Note: high viscosity silicones are not always compatible with concentrated silicone elastomer gels
