“Dow Corning’s innovative silicone technology is the driving force behind the development of our high quality skin and hair care solutions,” said Paulo Sevilha, Latin America Life Sciences Commercial Manager. “Our ingredients deliver superior results, increased versatility and multidimensional sensory benefits that consumers prefer.”

At Farmacosmética, Dow Corning will feature:

• Dow Corning® Silicone Organic Elastomer Blends – Developed for use in skin, sun, and color cosmetic products, Dow Corning’s patented silicone organic elastomer blends maintain the distinctively luxurious, dry, smooth, and silky feel of traditional silicone elastomer blends while offering enhanced compatibility with organic materials and actives.
• Dow Corning® AP-8087 Fluid – This amino functional siloxane polymer provides improvements in both wet and dry combing in both shampoos and rinse-off conditioners. When used in a rinse-off conditioner it reduces the loss of color in colored hair. In addition, when used in leave-on applications, it enhances hair shine and smoothness and reduces hair static.
• Dow Corning® HY-3050 Soy Wax and Dow Corning® HY-3051 Soy Wax Blend – Dow Corning’s soy wax and soy wax blend offer innovative formulating alternatives for structure and sensory characteristics, while providing a naturally-derived substitute for petrolatum. These versatile ingredients were developed for use in skin care, color cosmetics and hair care products.
