SILKFLO ®

By: INEOS
SilkFlo products are clear, odourless and colourless hydrocarbon liquids with high purity. Their cosmetic benefits are relevant for the skin and for cosmetic formulations. Cosmetics formulated with SilkFlo leave the skin clean, silky-soft, refreshed, more beautiful and smoothly toned. The SilkFlo series are synthetic decene (C10 alpha olefin) oligomers, which are hydrogenated to remove the residual double bond. This ‘Molecular Purity’ is the source of SilkFlo’s physical properties which underlie it’s outstanding performance in cosmetic formulations. Molecular Purity also distinguishes SilkFlo from simple mineral oils, which are blended to simple specifications, and give no guarantee of molecular chemistry or content.
