EXCELLENT SPREADABILITY

SILGREEN® G is a 100% plant-derived substitute to volatile silicone oils designed to confer the dry and silky texture of Hexadecane and Cyclopentasiloxane while being silicon-free. It is a combination of Hydrogenated Rapeseed Alcohol and natural polymers derived from Olive Oil.

SILGREEN® G is also an excellent dispersant and is suitable to disperse both physical and chemical filters in suncare applications or coloring pigments in color cosmetics.

SILGREEN® G is a very light and volatile emollient; it provides a superb solution to meet the rising market demand for new green and sustainable alternatives to silicones for the cosmetic industry.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO CYCLOPENTASILOXANE – D5

SILGREEN® G is lightweight compared to traditional silicones, improving hydration while offering enhanced spreadability and reducing greasiness.

EFFICACY TESTS

SENSORIAL PANEL

SILGREEN® G demonstrates significant advantages in terms of emulsion texture, lightness, lower greasiness, spreadability, and absorption, although it has inferior long-lasting properties.

These attributes make SILGREEN® G a highly effective ingredient in delivering a smooth, lightweight, and non-greasy application.

These findings suggest that SILGREEN® G is a competitive natural alternative to Cyclopentasiloxane, offering several benefits in cosmetic formulations where texture, feel, and absorption are critical factors.
