Growing interest in clean beauty and sustainability has increased demand for environmentally conscious cosmetic ingredients, particularly amid heightened discussions surrounding microplastic regulations. At the same time, consumers seek enhanced texture, wearability, and overall formulation performance, driving demand for silicone technologies that combine functional benefits with premium sensory experiences.
KCC Silicone attended NYSCC Supplier’s Day 2026, New York, May 19 to 20. At the exhibition, KCC Silicone introduced a portfolio of silicone materials designed for applications such as sun care, skincare, and color cosmetics.
Among the featured materials was SeraSense® RBS 12, a newly launched silicone resin blend incorporating thixotropic technology. The material spread smoothly during application while creating a durable and uniform film after use. Its ability to improve long-wear performance and reduce smudging and transfer in sun care and makeup formulations attracted strong interest at previous global exhibitions.
KCC Silicone also highlighted SeraSilk® PDA 90, a microplastic-free powder gel blend formulated with evenly dispersed naturally derived silica powder. The product delivers a soft-focus effect together with a lightweight, silky, and powdery sensory profile.
Another featured material, SeraSense® AG 21, is a multifunctional silicone ingredient suitable for various color cosmetic applications, including foundations, lip products, and eye makeup. In addition to delivering gloss and long-lasting performance, it also serves as an effective inorganic pigment dispersant.
Also presented at the exhibition were SeraSoft® SW 74, a silicone wax-based ingredient offering formulation stability and smooth skin adhesion, as well as SeraSilk® EL 31, a drometrizole-modified gel blend with demonstrated spreadability and dispersibility.
