Innovative gel introduced

Momentive Performance Materials has introduced Velvesil FX gel, an innovative personal care gel that can enhance the benefits of boron nitride powder by improving its processibility and spreadability, and the sensory experience of the consumer product.

Formulators of colour cosmetics and skin products may find Velvesil FX gel useful for optimisation of the combined performance benefits of boron nitride – excellent coverage, naturalness, line-blurring effects and oil absorption – with the outstanding sensory attributes of silicones – soft, smooth feel and gentle application.

Additionally, Velvesil FX gel may streamline production by providing excellent dispersion of boron nitride, with virtually no dusting.

Velvesil FX gel can offer its array of combined performance benefits for a wide range of personal care products. Potential applications for it include foundation, eye shadow, anti-ageing products and oil control products. It may be an option to consider for use in products to meet consumer expectations for line-blurring effects, excellent coverage and a soft, dry powdery feel.
