Conditioning Lipstick with TC Pigments

Unlike many silicones and silicone derivatives, Vertasil® Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane TM-VE1 is easily incorporated into lip products due to its solubility of in a range of polar compounds, including castor oil. The benefits of Vertasil® Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane TM-VE1 in lip products include conditioning, softening, and protection against the drying effects of the environment. The Triethoxycaprylylsilane (TC)-treated pigments are easy to disperse into oil and improve wear on the lips. Stearyl Triethoxysilane (SS) pearls have a more luxurious feel with improved adhesion versus untreated pearls.
