Silicone Elastomer Gel is a pre-blended, ready-to-use elastomer gel that provides a smooth, non-greasy, velvety touch to skincare and color cosmetics. It absorbs excess oil, diffuses light for a soft-focus finish, and improves application glide and wear. Ideal for primers, mattifiers, and luxury cream textures.
This elastomer gel offers a unique combination of oil absorption, skin smoothing, and silky after-feel. It acts as a rheology modifier and sensory enhancer, while helping stabilize oil-soluble actives or pigments. Great for high-end cosmetics, it delivers an instant blur effect and dry touch — ideal for oily or combination skin types.
Add to the oil phase of your formulation. Can be used directly or post-added to adjust viscosity and skin feel. Works best in anhydrous or emulsified systems that require high sensory refinement.
