Silicone elastomer gels are crosslinked silicone elastomers dispersed in selected silicone or hydrocarbon carriers for skincare, sun care, and color cosmetic formulations. They provide a smooth, velvety texture while supporting spreadability, oil-phase thickening, a matte or soft-focus finish, and a non-gr
The series includes dimethicone-, cyclopentasiloxane-, isododecane-, isohexadecane-, and hydrogenated-polyisobutene-based gels, together with a PEG-10 Dimethicone Crosspolymer grade.
These silicone elastomer gels can be used in lotions, creams, sunscreens, primers, foundations, and other compatible personal care formulations.

The crosslinked silicone structure provides a smooth, soft, and powdery sensory profile during and after application. Depending on the selected model, the gel can create a lightweight glide, soft cushion, dry touch, or long-lasting silky finish.
This sensory modification can help reduce tackiness and greasiness in formulations containing oils, emollients, pigments, or UV filters.
Selected grades help create a matte or natural soft-glow finish by modifying light reflection and surface texture. Suitable grades can visually soften the appearance of fine lines and support a more even-looking skin surface in primers, foundations, sunscreens, and skincare formulations.
High-viscosity grades can thicken compatible oil phases and help build rich, cushiony, or gel-like textures. Formulators can select among different viscosity and elastomer-content options to adjust body, pickup, spreadability, and after-feel without relying solely on conventional waxes or powders.
The series provides multiple carrier systems for different formulation requirements:
Dimethicone-based grades support smoothness, cushion, matte finish, and oil-phase thickening.
Cyclopentasiloxane-based grades support lightweight spreading and a dry, silky after-feel.
Isododecane-based grades support fast spreading and thin-film formation.
Isohexadecane-based grades provide a light, powdery, and refreshing sensory profile.
Hydrogenated-polyisobutene-based grades support oil compatibility, smooth application, and color stability.
The PEG-10 Dimethicone Crosspolymer grade can be dispersed in compatible oil and water phases.
Selected grades provide compatibility with cosmetic oils, color pigments, and oil-dispersible sunscreen ingredients. They can support pigment distribution, formulation coverage, spreadability, and a smooth application without excessive drag.
Silicone elastomer gels can be incorporated into creams, lotions, serums, and other compatible skincare systems to modify texture and improve application properties. Selected grades provide softness, cushion, easy spreading, and a smooth after-feel while reducing the perception of oiliness or tackiness.
Models 5-420 and 5-410 include options suitable for lotion formulations. Select the viscosity according to the desired texture, oil-phase structure, pickup, spreadability, and final skin feel.
Selected grades can be used in primers, foundations, concealers, and other complexion formulations requiring a matte, powdery, or soft-focus finish. The crosslinked elastomer structure can help smooth the formulation during application and visually soften uneven skin texture.
Models 5-440, 5-451, and suitable high-viscosity 5-410 variants can support dry-touch and matte-finish requirements. Model 5-430 can be considered where smooth spreading and coverage are important.
Models with good pigment and oil compatibility can support smooth pigment distribution and reduce dragging during application. Model 5-460 is particularly suitable for formulations requiring resistance to color migration, while Model 5-450 supports rapid spreading and thin-film formation.
Selected silicone elastomer gels can improve the spreadability and sensory profile of sunscreen formulations containing compatible oil-dispersible UV filters. They can help reduce greasiness, increase smoothness, and create a matte or silky finish.
High-viscosity Model 5-410 is compatible with suitable oil-based sunscreen ingredients, while Model 5-430 can be dispersed in compatible oil and water phases. SPF, UVA protection, water resistance, and formulation stability must be confirmed through testing of the finished sunscreen product.
Models 5-421, 5-411, 5-410, and 5-451 provide different levels of matte finish and lightweight sensory performance. These grades can help reduce surface shine and create a fresher, less greasy after-feel in compatible skincare and cosmetic systems.
Oil-control references describe the sensory and surface appearance of the finished formulation and do not imply a biological reduction in sebum production.
High-viscosity variants of Models 5-421, 5-420, 5-410, and 5-411 can be used to build viscosity and structure in compatible oil phases. They can support gel-like, cushiony, or rich textures while maintaining smooth spreading.
Thickening efficiency depends on the carrier, emollient polarity, elastomer content, mixing conditions, temperature, and final use level.
Silicone elastomer gels are available in:
20 kg plastic drums
160 kg plastic drums
Packaging should remain sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and changes in product consistency.
Store silicone elastomer gels in their original sealed packaging below 30 °C, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and contamination.
Under the recommended storage conditions, the shelf life is 24 months from the production date.
Silicone elastomer gels are classified as non-dangerous goods and can be transported under ordinary cargo conditions.
No. Available carriers include Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Isohexadecane, and Hydrogenated Polyisobutene for different formulation and sensory requirements.
Model 5-430 can be dispersed in compatible oil and water phases. It should not, however, be described as universally water-soluble.
Selected 5-410 and 5-451 grades provide a pronounced dry or matte finish, while Models 5-440 and 5-450 support lightweight glide and a silky after-feel.
Model 5-450 uses Isododecane as its carrier and is suitable for formulations requiring rapid spreading, thin-film formation, and a dry finish.
No. Viscosity and elastomer content vary independently across the series, so both specifications should be considered during model selection.
They primarily function as sensory and texture modifiers. Some grades provide a moisturized after-feel, but they do not replace dedicated humectants or moisturizing actives.
