Gransil™ EPSQ
Gransil™ EPSQ is a versatile product with functions spanning thickening, flattening, sebum regulation, and viscosity modification. Gransil EPSQ emerges as a hybrid silicone composite powder, ingeniously composed of two interlacing polymer networks: polydimethylsiloxane and polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ). The unique feature lies in their interwoven yet non-covalently bonded molecular-scale arrangement. This product elevates the esthetics of formulations, offering a cost-effective alternative for obtaining elastomer gel-like effects, ultimately transitioning into a matte appearance with a powdery after-feel. Its potential applications encompass skincare, color cosmetics, sun care, and hair care formulations.
