• Skin care products : moisturizers, anti-aging creams, face masks, hand creams, etc.

It is compatible with other silicones and natural vegetable oils, making it ideal for forming products with a non-greasy and non-clumpy texture

Caprylyl Methicone can be used as a carrier and dispersing medium for powders and pigments. It has a wide range of personal care applications such as skin care and sun care products, color cosmetics or leave-on Hair Care applications.
