BRB-in-cosmetics-GlobalBRB will be showcasing the benefits of its latest performance silicone portfolio, coupled with various new inspirational formulations based on novel customization concepts at in-cosmetics Global 2020.

Series of Four Waterless Products


BRB will present the concept So-Solid! - Concentrated beauty, a series of four waterless products which cover the segments of men, skin and hair care as well as color cosmetics.

The four formulas respond to today’s need of reducing plastic packaging and water waste, without renouncing to performance. The new formulations are self-preserved, travel friendly, vegan and more sustainable solutions and have long lasting durability.

New Formulations include:

  • Volcanic rock – Beard solid shampoo, a gentle yet long-lasting cleanser, that conditions and moisturizes the beard leaving no residue, which contains BRB 2835 and 2836.
  • Meltylicious - Body butter block, a melting balm to hydrate and nourish dry, sensitive or aged skin, enriched with BRB 2836 and BRB Caprylyl methicone.
  • Wonbar - Rinse-off conditioner bar, a solid rinse-off conditioner to help detangle, soothe and give shine to hair, boosted by BRB 2835 and BRB PTM 20.
  • Color 'em up - Cheek and lip tint, a multi-use color to blush your cheeks or highlight your lips, with BRB 2836, BRB Caprylyl methicone, BRB Color Lock and BRB PTM 20.

Formulas Based on Alkyl Dimethicone Range


All the formulations are based on Alkyl Dimethicone range, consisting of an alkyl group grafted onto a silicone backbone. The alkyl dimethicone enhances the compatibility with many organic based cosmetic oil ingredients. Three different alkyl dimethicone are already within the product portfolio, further products being under study:

  • BRB Caprylyl Methicone is a low viscosity product, compatible with most of cosmetic oils and waxes. It provides a light, non-greasy skin feel and improves spreadability.
  • BRB 2835 (INCI: Cetyl Dimethicone) provides excellent lubricity, shine and emollience to color cosmetics and skin care formulations.
  • BRB 2836 (INCI: Stearyl Dimethicone & Octadecene) is a silicone wax. It melts when contact with skin due to low softening point. It provides excellent emollience and water resistance to skin care, sun care and color cosmetic formulations.

BRB will be present on stand U10 at in-cosmetics Global 2020, Barcelona.
