DOWSIL™ 593 Fluid
DOWSIL™ 593 Fluid is a sophisticated blend of polydimethylsiloxane and high molecular weight silicone resin, designed to act as a film former that significantly enhances water-repellency, wash-off resistance, and durability in a variety of formulations. Its unique composition, featuring Dimethicone and Trimethylsiloxysilicate, makes it an essential ingredient for sun care, color cosmetics, and lipstick formulations. This product stands out for its ability to form a durable barrier on the skin, offering long-lasting emolliency with less slipperiness, making it particularly suitable for "working hands" applications where lubricity is undesirable. Additionally, DOWSIL™ 593 Fluid is vegan-friendly, non-GMO, Halal certified, and free from animal-derived ingredients, ensuring broad appeal and compatibility with ethical and dietary standards.
