New natural vegetable products which has similar properties as light Silicon.
Silicon is a silica-derivative which has good oily skin feel, slide effect and good dispersion on the skin.
Our Laboratory has tried to find in the vegetable world, some raw materials which could substitute light-Silicon.
POLYSSAN O is the result of many trials done in our R&D laboratory.
POLYSSAN O is anhydrous oil derivatives directly from Olive Oil. This one has been polymerized with an Olive Oil derived, Glycerol Oleate, to obtain a particular product very similar to Silicon for what it concern its particular properties in many areas of use.
POLYSSAN O, all vegetable-derived, offers the significant advantage to be rich in all Olive Oil component, from unsaponifiable fraction to polyunsaturated fatty acids and Glycerol Oleate in his polymerisation form.
POLYSSAN O has a very good oily skin feel, has a good slide effect and a very good waterproof effect.
When applied to the skin, it forms a light film which allow to maintain on the skin, actives ingredients present on the formula, as for example UVA and UVB filter, moisturisers, anti-cellulitis, and so on.
It’s light film also prevents the moisture loss from the skin.

PROPERTIES
Natural vegetable alternative to light Silicon Superior pigment-wetting ability over mineral oil.
Lipophilic material that disperse easily oil and lipid substance.
Perfectly adapted as a gentle nourishing solvent-based make up remover in emulsion.
Used in styling products imparts shine and soft combing.
Increases moisturising and imparts smoothness to skin
Excellent carrier for wetting pigments and sun filters.
Very good waterproof skin feeling.

APPLICATIONS
Silicon light substitute , easy to mix with oily phase in all type of emulsions. Particularly interesting for its waterproof properties, able to disperse UV filter , keeping them on the skin after many washing, or keeping lip-gloss colors for many time.
Very interesting use in massage emulsions and night creams, giving a very non-greasy soft touch skin. Use level from 1 to 20%

TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
POLISSAN O consists of a combination of well-established cosmetic raw materials and is generally considered to present safe for the skin and for environmental.
