Product Description INCI Name

Gransil AM-8 is a moderately volatile silicone that offers improved spreadability and reduced tackiness in formulations.

Caprylyl Methicone

Gransil 530 is a viscous fluid formulated by blending super-high viscosity silicone with low viscosity silicone. Gransil 530 provides an exceptionally silky feel and prolonged substantivity, and leaves a soft film on skin to protect the skin moisture. When combined with oils, Gransil 530 effectively eliminates disfavored tacky feel. The recommended usage level is 1-5% for general skin and makeup formulas. Use up to 5% in 2-in-1 shampoos for effective silicone conditioning.

Dimethicone

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
