Gransil VX-404
Gransil VX-404 is a silicone grafted with long hydrocarbon chains, which crystallize at room temperature and form micro domains in silcone phase. Consequently, the domains function as physical crosslinking points that keep the silicone chains from "free-flowing". By varying the domain size and concentration, Gransil VX demonstrates differentiated physical properties in appearance, viscosity and yield stress. It improves the speadability and forms excellent moisturizing film with non-tacky feel for cosmetic products. In particular, it offers excellent shine and long wear features for color makeup products, and improves pigment dispersing and adhesion on skin.
