Tackiness
Pleasant Care
Your customers want care products that are quickly absorbed, are moisturizing and leave the skin with a pleasant feel. Sticky skin care products are a no no.
WACKER silicones help reduce stickiness. Formulate cosmetic products that are pleasant to the touch and leave the skin feeling nourished.
Tackiness is not only a major issue in skin care, innovative BELSIL® silicones also reduce tackiness in hairstyling products.
