Natural product character is imparted to a short emollient silicone tail by combining natural products with one end of a low molecular weight siloxane. The salient characteristics of the natural product are readily retained in formulations, allowing the desirable accent of a natural product such as shine or cleansing in a form that is silicone compatible.

Incorporation of trisiloxanes to natural products can transform them to hybrid fluids with properties ranging from light, dry feeling, volatile vehicles to emollient fluids. Vertasil® trisiloxane hybrids are used to enhance slip and reduce greasiness in skin care and color cosmetics. Organic and inorganic pigments are more readily wetted by hybrids than by silicones, facilitating use in foundations, eyeshadows, and blushes.
Vertasil® Limonenyltrisiloxane TM-L01; INCI Name: Methylcyclohexenylisopropyltrisiloxane
Vertasil® TM-L01 is a naturally-derived, multifunctional hybrid fluid that offers improved solubility and sensory experience when compared to cyclosiloxanes.
Vertasil® TM-L01 offers a natural component version of caprylyltrimethicone derived from limonene. Limonene is the major component of the oil extracted from citrus rind but unlike Limonene, Vertasil® TM-L01 is not an allergen. Like Caprylyl Methicone, Vertasil® TM-L01 Limonenyltrisiloxane offers an exceptionally light, dry feel combined with excellent spreading qualities. Limonenyltrisiloxane combines the light feel, and cleansing properties of limonene with the low surface tension of silicones without the characteristic aroma of limonene. It is a distilled product with excellent color, and without any tacky residue. Vertasil® TM-L01 is an excellent vehicle for long wearing foundations and eyeshadows. It also performs well as an additive in bath and tanning oils to enhance spreadability and reduce greasiness in many oil-based formulations.

Vertasil® Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane TM-VE1; INCI Name: Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane
Vertasil® TM-VE1 is a unique hybrid fluid formed by adding a small siloxane segment to a natural tocopherol derived from soybean oil. The tocopheryl substituent adds skin treatment properties to the siloxane backbone while the siloxane component improves the slip and skin feel of the tocopherol. This unique structure enables the tocopheryloxypropyl trisiloxane to spread more readily than pure tocopherol and to act as a solvent for a number of mineral and vegetable waxes. Importantly, it can be used as a cosolvent to incorporate natural tocopherol into silicone-based formulations. TM-VE1 is recommended for use in skin care and lip products to provide softening, emollience, and moisturization.
Lipstick with Vertasil® Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane TM-VE1
Unlike many silicones and silicone derivatives, Vertasil® Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane TM-VE1 is easily incorporated into lip products due to its solubility in a range of polar compounds, including castor oil. Benefits of TM-VE1 in lip products are lip conditioning, lip softening, and protection against the drying effects of the environment.
