Silicone resin for lasting effect

Consumers relate fixation of a cosmetic product with its quality, and a new ingredient from BRB, BRB TMS 50 I, has been developed in order to achieve long lasting and durable effect regardless of the formula.

BRB TMS 50-I is a solution of trimethylsiloxysilicate in isododecane. Trimethylsiloxysilicate is a BRB specialty silicone resin, which has a peculiar non-linear 3-dimensional structure. When applied on a surface, isododecane quickly evaporates and aids sealing trimethylsiloxysilicate to form a uniform barrier resin film. 

Because of its capacity to attach on skin, BRB TMS 50 I provides colour transfer resistance helping to hold pigments in place. Hence, it is ideal for a kiss-proof lipstick or a long wearing makeup. Once it is dry, it will not budge or move. Therefore it is the perfect match to be used in waterproof mascara, protective concealer or goof-proof eyeliner

This ingredient will bring wash-off and ruboff resistance to sun care products, properly spreading and fixing UV filters and boosting SPF. It will also perform well in hair care products, as it neatly defines hair fibre and prevents flyaways and frizz.
