moothness

make it soft and smooth to the touch High-quality hair-care and skin-care products not only show good spreadability, but have a pleasant feel, too. Belsil silicones spread evenly and form a continious thin film. kin or hair feels soft and silky smooth. Belsil dimethicones and amodimethicones are ideal for giving hair a soft touch and for enhancing the distribution of shampoo over hair. Belsil silicone waxes with a low melting point permit the formulation of easy-to-spread emulsions that confer a delicate, soft sensation on skin. Highly flexible silicone loops impart a pleasantly soft and silky-smooth feel to hair and skin. elected products: Hair care: Belsil ADM 6102 E, INCI: Amodimethicone, Trideceth-10 ADM 8301 E, INCI: Amodimethicone/Morpholinomethyl ilsesquioxane Copolymer, Trideceth-5, Glycerin ADM 8105 E, INCI: Amodimethicone, C11-15 Pareth-7, Laureth-9, Glycerin, Trideceth-12 DM 3560 VP, INCI: Dimethiconol, odium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Trideceth-10 DM 5102 E, INCI: Dimethicone, Laureth-4, Laureth-23 kin care: Belsil DM 5 and DM 10, INCI: Dimethicone PDM 20, INCI: Trimethylsiloxyphenyl Dimethicone EG 5, INCI: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer EG 6000, INCI: Dimethicone, Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Crosspolymer REG 102, INCI: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyltrimethylsiloxysilicate Crosspolymer For more information, visit www.wacker.com/belsil 6502e/03.17 supersedes 6502e/04.16

Moisturizing

ensure the right balance High-melting, alkyl-modified silicones from the Belsil range form a protective, moisturizing film on the skin. This gives body-care products a silky feel and helps retain the skin s natural moisture. What s more, the effect is long-lasting. elected Belsil silicones reduce transepidermal water loss and keep skin soft and supple. A typical example would be an after-sun body lotion.

Easy Combing

reduce combing force All hair is subject to stress whether from combing, styling or environmental influences. Mechanical stress is challenging for long hair in particular. Luckily, even a tiny amount of silicone in hair-care products improves the combability of both wet and dry hair. Belsil DM and ADM silicones reduce friction between hairs by up to 78 % in shampoo. Very flexible polysiloxane chains provide a pleasant, silky feel and help the comb glide effortlessly through the hair. creening Belsil ADM 8301 E Combing Force (2 % W) Conditioner creening Belsil ADM 8301 E Combing Force (2 % W) Conditioner Dry Combing Force [mn*m*10-3 ] 300 260 220 180 140 100 60 40 0 400 350 aligned 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 0 50 100 150 200 0 50 100 150 200 Length [mm] Length [mm] Wet Combing Force [mn*m*10-3 ] Untreated Treated Untreated Treated Dry combing force of a rinse conditioner.

preadability

optimize distribution A good product should feel pleasant as soon as it makes contact with the skin or hair. Owing to their low surface tension, low-viscosity dimethicones and special alkyl-functional silicones not only improve the spreadability of cosmetic oils, pigments and UV absorbers, they also impart a pleasant silky skin sensation.

hine

Formul ate Tantalizing Reflections Long-lasting shine is the secret to attractive hair, nails and lips. Only reflective surfaces, whether glossy or matt, can shine. ilicone additives in personal-care products optimize shine and intensify color brilliance because they cover hair and lips with a thin film and create a smooth surface. ilicones with a high refractive index enhance shine. Belsil P 1101 keeps your nail polish film in perfect shape and helps retain gloss and shine. ilicones are the ideal additive for glossy, kiss-proof lipstick.

Tackiness

Reduce tackiness Consumers want body-care products that are simple to use and leave their skin feeling pleasant and moisturized. What they don t want is tackiness, which is hardly ever desirable in a cosmetic product. Usually it is something to be avoided, or reduced. ilicones can reduce tackiness yielding cosmetics with a pleasant feel. Low-viscosity dimethicones and phenyl-modified fluids can be used here. For long-lasting formulations, silicone resin elastomer gels are the answer. BELIL P 1101 is an ethanolic solution of an excellent hair-styling polymer that combines strong hold and softness with a rapid drying time - perceived as low tackiness when the product is applied.

THixotropy

Improve consistency uccessful cosmetic products need both effective active ingredients and a suitable carrier, such as a cream or lotion. The carrier s consistency will determine not only a cosmetic s properties on the skin or hair, but will also show whether a product offers a certain richness or lightness. Its shelf life will be prolonged, too. A product s rheological profile can be adjusted with WACKER silicones. Creams and lotions require a certain viscosity for their care effects to be rendered visible, while ensuring suitable consistency. At the same time, a cosmetic will need a low viscosity during application. The following products are used to adjust such thixotropic behavior. HDK pyrogenic silicas with a variety of polarities for different solvents Elastomer gels such as Belsil EG 5, RG 90, RG 100, REG 102 and REG 1102 Viscosity depending on hear Rate Viscosity [mpa*s] 100,000 y 1 1/sec y 25 1/sec y 1 1/sec 1,000 0 60 120 180 BB Cream 19C13 (contains 5% BEIL REG 1102) Belsil REG 1102 time [s] elected products: Belsil EG 2, EG 5, INCI: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer Belsil RG 100, INCI: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyltrimethylsiloxysilicate Crosspolymer Belsil RG 90, INCI: Isododecane (and) Vinyldimethyl/Trimethylsiloxysilicate tearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer Belsil REG 102, INCI: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyltrimethylsiloxysilicate Crosspolymer Belsil REG 1102, INCI: Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Vinyltrimethylsiloxysilicate Crosspolymer HDK N 20 and HDK T 30, INCI: ilica HDK H 15 and HDK H 30, INCI: ilica Dimethyl ilylate HDK H 2000, INCI: ilica ilylate For more information, visit www.wacker.com/belsil 6502e/03.17 supersedes 6502e/04.16

THICKENING

Create the right texture One of the key challenges facing cosmetic formulators is to give a cosmetic product the right texture and consistency. From how a product looks when first opened to how it feels when applied on the skin, the texture of a skin-care product is vital to its market acceptance. Wherever formulations need thickening, or lotions and creams need viscosity control, you can rely on WACKER silicones and silicas to deliver the desired effects. HDK pyrogenic silicas are available in various polarities and make it possible to fine-tune a formulation s viscosity. ilicone waxes such as Belsil CM 7026 VP are structural components providing the right balance between beneficial sensory parameters and thickening of the formulation.

thermal protection

PROTECT HAIR DURING HEAT TYLING Heat styling routines like flat iron straightening expose hair to extreme conditions. urface temperatures can easily exceed 220 C and can damage the hair fiber surface and core. The film-forming emulsions BELIL ADM 8301 E and BELIL ADM 6300 E protect hair during harsh thermal treatments and reduce hair damage. They provide a silk hair touch and make hair significantly easier to manage. Both products are ideal for aqueous thermal protection formats like sprays, treatments, conditioners or balms. BELIL P1101, an innovative silicone hybrid styling polymer offered in ethanolic solution, is also an excellent protector against thermal damage. Typical formats for BELIL P 1101 are sprays, balms and mousses. elected products: Belsil P 1101, INCI: Alcohol, Crotonic Acid/Vinyl C8-12 Isoalkyl Esters/VA/Bis- Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer Belsil ADM 8301 E, INCI: Amodimethicone/Morpholinomethyl ilsesquioxane Copolymer, Trideceth-5, Glycerin Belsil ADM 6300 E, INCI: Amodimethicone/Morpholinomethyl ilsesquioxane Copolymer, Trideceth-10 For more information, visit www.wacker.com/belsil 6502e/03.17 supersedes 6502e/04.16

Anti-Aging

Discover the ecret of Beauty What s the secret of beautiful, silky-smooth firm skin? Active ingredients such as retinol, which prevent wrinkles and help skin regenerate. For the first time, it s possible to reliably protect these agents from oxygen, light and heat. Encapsulated in CAVAMAX cyclodextrin complexes, they have led to the development of a new generation of care products. CAVAMAX provides anti-aging components with long-lasting protection against oxidation and evaporation. Thanks to their molecular encapsulation within a cavity, these components are gradually released on the skin. Premature aging is also caused by free radicals. These by-products of cell metabolism attack cell membranes, and our skin loses elasticity, for example. Antioxidants such as hydroxytyrosol provide protection against the effects of damaging free radicals on the cells in your body, including the skin. Hydroxytyrosol is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants. HTEssence is the first nature-identical, highly pure hydroxytyrosol. HTEssence fills up the skin s antioxidant pool more effectively and for longer than other antioxidants. For more information, visit www.wacker.com/personal-care 6502e/03.17 supersedes 6502e/04.16

skin lightening

Lighten the skin s pigmentation There is a growing demand for skin lightening products. As an antioxidant, hydroxytyrosol has been shown to effectively increase glutathione levels within the cells. It is known that high glutathione levels are associated with increased production of pheomelanin, which leads to a light pigmentation of the skin. At the same time, the production of the dark pigment eumelanin is reduced. HTEssence is the first nature-identical, highly pure hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants: Taken as a supplement, it can help to raise glutathione levels, leading to a lighter skin pigmentation and the lightening of dark spots on the skin. HTEssence protects the skin against UV-induced radicals more effectively and for longer than other antioxidants.

gentleness

Perm Hair the Gentle Way Natural curls full of bounce and stability need a uniform hair structure in which disulfide bonds play a key role. When hair is permed, its disulfide bonds or bridges are broken and remade. If the perming agent is too aggressive, the hair structure is damaged. That s where cysteine comes in. Fewer disulfide bridges are broken when cysteine is used instead of the usual thioglycolic acid. And the resulting curls are just as tight and stable. L-cysteine is one of the 20 natural amino acids. Apart from methionine, it is the only one that contains sulfur. When cysteine is used to perm hair, fewer disulfide bridges are broken. Cysteine-based perming agents have a pleasant, non-pungent smell. WACKER is the only manufacturer worldwide to produce highly pure cysteine by the fermentation of vegetarian-grade raw materials.

tabilization

encapsulate ensitive Ingredients Organic agents fulfill important functions in skin and hair care. But they are often sensitive to oxygen, light and heat, and can rapidly evaporate. Innovative cyclodextrin complexes offer them protection. Moisture unlocks these tiny strongboxes and gradually releases organic agents providing skin and hair products with new functions. CAVAMAX forms cyclodextrin complexes that work like tiny strongboxes. CAVAMAX provides long-lasting protection against oxidation and evaporation. CAVAMAX enables skin-care and hair-care products to gradually release organic agents with anti-wrinkle, skin-regeneration and moisturizing effects. WACKER is the only company to manufacture all three natural cyclodextrins a, b and g. WACKER supplies ready-to-use cyclodextrin complexes. For example: CAVAMAX W 8/retinol complex and CAVAMAX W 8/tocopherol complex. For more information, visit www.wacker.com/personal-care 6502e/03.17 supersedes 6502e/04.16
