Air Products launched its new Deposilk Q1 Polymer at in-cosmetics in Milan, Italy, on 29 March. Deposilk Q1 Polymer provides personal care formulations with a silky and smooth feel while enhancing deposition of silicone and other ingredients on skin or hair.
Air Products’ Deposilk polymers are a new platform of chemistries focused on enhancing both the feel and functionality of personal care formulations. The first commercial offering of this platform, Deposilk Q1 Polymer, is a new material that can significantly improve the deposition of silicone and active ingredients while at the same time enhancing feel and sensory aesthetics. “Increasing awareness and sophistication of consumers over the last few years have led them to demand products that provide both a quantitative and qualitative performance benefit, and our Deposilk Q1 Polymer can help by addressing the challenge of making silicones and other actives more effective while providing a feel that consumers can enjoy,” said Solomon Lemma, global business manager for personal care at Air Products.
