SiSiB® PC16508 is a crosslinked high molecular weight silicone elastomer gel swollen in cyclopentasiloxane (D5). It functions as a thickening and sensory modifier in cosmetic formulations while providing a smooth, silky after-feel.
It improves spreadability, reduces tackiness, and contributes to a light, non-greasy skin feel. The cyclopentasiloxane carrier evaporates after application, helping enhance sensory performance on the skin.
