BELSIL® RG 100 is an elastomer gel composed of an organosiloxane polymer dispersed in cyclopentasiloxane. This semitransparent gel serves as a thickener in formulations, ensuring smooth applications. When subjected to shear stress, BELSIL® RG 100 thins, making it easy to incorporate cosmetic ingredients such as pigments. It is effortless to distribute on the skin and provides a pleasant, non-greasy, silky skin feel. As the volatile silicones evaporate, a non-tacky film is left behind, enhancing the water resistance of formulations.
