Shin-Etsu Silicone Selection Guide for Cosmetics

Hybrid Silicone Powders

This is a hybrid silicone powder in which spherical silicone rubber powder is coated with silicone resin. The properties of both rubber and resin give it a pleasant slipperiness and flexibility, as well as high dispersibility.
It also provides a high soft-focus effect, blurring skin problems such as wrinkles and pores for a natural finish.
We offer a lineup of products with various oil absorption properties depending on the modification group of the rubber portion.
