Siltech offers several cyclomethicone-free products that provide the performance advantages of silicone chemistry minus any concern about existing or future regulatory actions regarding cyclics.
Silwax® D02 is a cyclomethicone-free alternative for D5 in personal care applications. The volatility of the product provides an excellent lubricity and dry after-feel for personal care applications, without regulatory concerns. It is ideal for use in skin care, hair care and makeup applications where the alkyl functionality lends to excellent compatibility. When used in combination with esters and triglycerides Silwax® D02 provides a skin feel similar to cyclomethicone.

Silsurf® Q25315-O benefits are ideal for mineral sunscreens and foundations, but it also performs well as a regular emulsifier in body lotions and face creams. The innovative functionality lends not only to excellent pigment dispersion with a narrow particle size distribution, but also an added unique skin feel benefit. Silsurf® Q25315-O is suitable for cold processing.

The product is especially formulated to bloom to the surface of makeup and provide not only stay-in-place properties, but also a soft-silky feel.
