Description

Siligel  is an eco-friendly, natural  gelling agent, stabilizer, co-emulsifier, suspending agent, and skin feel enhancer that decreases trans-epidermal water loss to keep skin moisturized. It is preservative-free and eco-friendly. It is the natural solution to create robust formulations with no compromise between efficiency and aesthetics.

It provides an amazing silicone-like skin feel and a high resistance to electrolytes, due to its patented synergistic combination of phospholipids and polysaccharides. It decreases the TEWL and high resistance to electrolytes

As little as 1% increases glide with an ultra-soft after feeling with good spreadability on the skin. It produces a non-tacky, high glide, silicone-like feel in emulsions and gels without the threading associated with natural gums, like xanthan or guar. It increases the efficiency of active ingredients by behaving as a penetration enhancer and reduces the feeling of tightness in skin cleansers.
