FILMING
SILGREEN® C is a 100% plant-derived substitute to volatile silicone oils designed to confer the dry and “powdery” touch of Cyclopentasiloxane and Isohexadecane. It is based on a synergistic combination of vegetable alkanes and a copolymer obtained from Olive Oil.
SILGREEN® C confers a dry silicone-like texture to the product, it is ideal to improve the spreadability of white cosmetics and reduce the overall greasiness of the formula. Moreover, SILGREEN® C acts as an effective dispersant for coloring pigments in color cosmetics or physical and chemicals filters in sun care applications.
COMPARISON OF SILGREEN®G AGAINST TRADITIONAL SILICON-BASED OILS
SILGREEN® C is lightweight compared to traditional silicones, improving hydration while offering enhanced spreadability and reducing greasiness.

HAIR FRICTION
Frictional properties determine how the hair feels to the touch, how it combs and styles as well as its manageability.
SILGREEN® C treatment significantly reduces dry friction in damaged hair by 67% compared to untreated, claiming smoothness, shine, damage prevention, and repairing action.
These benefits not only enhance the aesthetic quality of the hair but also facilitate daily maintenance, making the use of styling tools easier and preventing further damages during combing and styling.
