Silicone replacements
Silgreen® C is a 100% vegetal based alternative to silicon oils. It is composed of a particular copolymer and vegetal alkanes. Silgreen® C is a very light and volatile emollient and ideal especially in natural products and skin-friendly formulations.
It confers a dry, silicon-like texture, glossing effect and a pleasant “powdery” touch.
Silgreen® C is palm-free and not comedogenic. It helps to disperse easily pigments and UV filters.
