Skin care ingredients

From novel, patented, surfactant-free, silicone emulsion technology to gel delivery systems, CareSil^® skin care ingredients from Avantor^® create unique sensory profiles for skin care formulations. Our portfolio of high-purity silicone ingredients provides endless possibilities for beauty care manufacturers with encapsulation and suspension technology platforms, elastomer gels, gums and fluids available in a variety of diluents, viscosities and refractive indices.

• Surfactant-free silicone emulsion technology: Discover our breakthrough surfactant-free silicone emulsion technology, allowing silicone and water to coexist without the use of surfactants. The platform offers a unique dual-phase, transformable texture, letting you have the best of both worlds – a fresh and watery sensation followed by the substantial feel from the silicone.
• Elastomer gels: With the highest purity on the market, our elastomer gels bring a no-pilling, no-balling, luxurious and ultra-mattifying powdery feel to skin care and color cosmetics.
• Gum blends: Our film-forming, semi-occlusive gum blends offer a rich and powdery after-feel with increased shine.
• Specialty fluids: CareSil specialty fluids are transfer- and wash-off-resistant compared to standard dimethicone ingredients. They reduce tackiness in formulations and act as a hydrophobic and oleophobic ingredient to deliver moisturizing properties.
• Volatiles: Acting as carriers for silicone elastomer gels, gum blends and fluids, NuSil volatiles are compatible with a range of cosmetic ingredients and deliver a silky feel with enhanced spreadability.
