BELSIL® REG 102

Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyltrimethyl-siloxysilicate Crosspolymer. BELSIL® REG 102 by Wacker acts as a thickening agent. It is a silicone copolymer network blended with cyclopentasiloxane. It also can add a cushiony feel to creams, eye gels, foundations, concealers and BB creams. In pressed powder cosmetics, it acts as binder. After evaporation of the solvent, it provides a substantive hydrophobic film, making it ideal for use in sun care formulations. Provides a light and silky skin feel. In lipsticks and foundations, it improves transfer resistance. BELSIL® REG 102 exhibits shear thinning behavior, which allows formulating cosmetic products that spread easily during application and facilitates the incorporation of pigments into a formulation.
