Gransil VX-406

Gransil VX-406 is a water-soluble silicone wax designed as an advanced multifunctional ingredient for enhancing a lubricous, silky feel to water-based products such as face toner, moisturizing serum, eye lifting gel and body wash. Gransil VX-406 is distinguished from other commercial silicone waxes by (1) crystal clear appearance when dissolved in water at any concentrations and (2) outstanding softer skin feel on application and even after rinse off. These advantages are obtained through a unique design of the polymer structure with the substitution of 18 moles polyether on difunctional silicone having a well-balanced ratio of lipophilic silicone to hydrophilic polyether to provide maximum silky sensory feel while remaining 100% water solubility without oil droplets or hazy appearance in water phase. It is of ABA type of copolymer structure with polyether being A and silicone being B.
