Gransil™ VX-418
- INCI Name
- Bis-Stearyl Dimethicone
Gransil™ VX-418 is an innovative multifunctional ingredient that serves as a gelling agent, thickener, anti-tack agent, binder, conditioner, moisturizing agent, and a viscosity modifier. This newly designed wax incorporates a short-chain silicone and C18 stearyl group, offering a low melting point that unleashes creative texture and transformation possibilities. Gransil VX-418 acts as an emollient, imparting a light skin feel, enhancing spreadability, and facilitating pigment and UV filter deposition. It effectively reduces the tackiness and dryness of other formulation ingredients, leading to an improved feel.
