SiSiB® PC16234 is suitable for a wide range of formulations including oil-in-water (O/W), water-in-oil (W/O), water-in-silicone (W/Si) and anhydrous systems. It is used in skin care, color cosmetics, sun care formulations, antiperspirants and deodorants, and hair care products.
In solid color cosmetics (e.g., lipsticks), SiSiB® PC16234 prevents cracking and shrinking caused by volatile oils, enhances water resistance, and acts as a binder for powdered cosmetics to prolong the wear of the makeup.
In primers or bases, SiSiB® PC16234 smooths fine lines, enhances slip, makes it easier to apply, and creates a natural matte finish. It controls oil secretion, prevents foundation from breaking down, and keeps it clear for a long time.
In skin care and sun care products, SiSiB® PC16234 provides a silky, moist feel, enhances moisturization, and improves overall efficacy and comfort.
SiSiB® PC16234 is supplied in 20Kg and 180Kg Drum.
In the original unopened packaging, SiSiB® PC16234 has a shelf life of two years in a dry and cool place.
