They are literally indispensable for the creation of safe and stable products and ensure that active ingredients can exhibit their full effectiveness.

Arguably silicones and silicone derivatives are the most useful and versatile of all existing groups of cosmetic ingredients. 
They range in viscosity from volatile liquids to solid pastes and are used as emollients that provide unique sensorial properties, hair conditioning agents, emulsifiers and for the surface treatment of pigments.
Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, there is now a movement away from silicone materials and alternatives are being developed by many ingredient suppliers.

This feature will look at those silicones that still play a major part in cosmetic formulations and at alternatives to those that are falling out of favour.
Its molecular structure is responsible for its perceived benefits with alkoxylation improving dispersibility; methyl branching promoting fluidity; ether linkages increasing polarity and improving compatibility with pigments; and the benzyl moiety confering better compatibility with sunscreens, sterols and fragrances.

Silicone derivatives are frequently used in cosmetic formulations to achieve appealing textures and a lightweight skin feel. 
With the growing demand for more natural and sustainable cosmetics, alternative solutions should provide a silicone-like texture with less environmental impact.
SymMollient S claims to have met these requirements with SymMollient PDCC (INCI: Propanediol dicaprylate/caprate) and SymMollient S green (INCI: Cetearyl nonanoate). 

In combination they can mimic the sensory profile of complex silicone derivatives.
SymMollient S tested this concept by sensory assessments conducted by a trained expert panel on formulations where different silicone derivatives were replaced by a combination of SymMollient S green and SymMollient PDCC without a significant difference in sensory profiles.
