Tackiness

Your customers want care products that are quickly absorbed, are moisturizing and leave the skin with a pleasant feel. Sticky skin care products are a no no.

WACKER silicones help reduce stickiness. Formulate cosmetic products that are pleasant to the touch and leave the skin feeling nourished.

Tackiness is not only a major issue in skin care, innovative BELSIL^® silicones also reduce tackiness in hairstyling products.

The graph shows a tackiness comparison with a skin care cream containing dimethicone and trimethylsiloxyphenyl dimethicone: Low-viscosity silicones (e.g. BELSIL^® DM350) reduce tackiness. Phenyl-modified silicones (e.g. BELSIL^® PDM 20), can even improve performance properties.
