Siliconized Pullulan Film-former Developed for Long-wear Lip Formulations

Written by  

Shin-Etsu Silicones of America, Inc. has recently premiered its advanced, multi-functional TSPL-30-ID siliconized pullulan film former in isododecane.

The patented TSPL-30-ID silicone film former has excellent resistance to water and oil-offering formulators, simultaneous properties engineered to achieve anti-transfer benefits for long-wear lip applications, comfort, and a non-tacky feel without compromising the adhesion properties. Siliconization of the pullulan polymer renders the film former highly permeable to moisture and oxygen, which is believed to enhance skin health and comfort. It provides a tough but flexible, film with low tackiness.

While uniquely suited for the growing lipstick segment, the product’s multi-faceted properties deliver essential stability, functionality, and sensory benefits across a myriad of personal care applications including cosmetics, such as: foundations, eye shadows, mascaras, lipsticks, blush, and pencils; skin lotions and creams; sun care products, such as lotions, creams, and self-tanners; and anti-aging products.

The silicone modification of TSPL-30-ID enhances the pullulan polymer with excellent water repellency and oil repellency, which are the key elements for achieving anti-transfer benefits for long-wear lip applications. Silicone moiety further modifies the film flexibility for comfort and a non-tacky feel without compromising the adhesion properties.
