Velvesil* E-Gel PMF emulsion

Velvesil* E-Gel PMF emulsion by Momentive Performance Materials was named Best Sensory Ingredient by Cosmetics Design’s Global Beauty Industry Awards for 2018. This multi-functional ingredient helps meet the growing market need for water-based formulations that provide the sensory experience of an oil-based formula—namely that smooth, cushioning feel. Velvesil* E-Gel PMF emulsion is a silicone elastomer gel that swells in the water phase of cosmetic formulations resulting in a refractive index close to that of skin. This soft-focus technology optically blurs wrinkles and smooths the texture and appearance of skin. Velvesil* E-Gel PMF emulsion is easy to use, cold process-able, and is paraben and MIT free. Ideal applications include creams, lotions, masks, serums, and toners; sunscreens and color cosmetics such as foundations and concealers. Hair care applications include shampoos, leave-on conditioners, serums and sprays.
