New additions to PURESIL™ ORG Series
Building on the success of its eco-designed platforms, Elkem Silicones is broadening the PURESIL™ ORG series with new materials combining exceptional sensory performance with strong functional performance in biobased, renewable and readily biodegradable carriers. Formulated in a sunflower seed–derived C15-19 alkane, the new grades allow beauty brands to offer sophisticated textures and advanced functional benefits, while helping to improve the environmental profile of cosmetic formulations:
PURESIL™ ORG 0415 - Soft, velvety elastomer gel
PURESIL™ ORG 0415 is a velvety elastomer gel that delivers smooth glide, a silky after‑feel, lasting moisture retention, and a soft‑focus effect for skin care and color cosmetics. It promotes even coverage and helps structure mineral sunscreens into a more uniform film, supporting and enhancing intended SPF performance.
PURESIL™ ORG 0515 - High‑lubricity viscoelastic fluid blend
PURESIL™ ORG 0515 is a viscoelastic fluid blend with a distinctive elastic texture and high lubricity. It delivers lustrous gloss, a smooth finish, and improved spreadability, helping create a more even and natural look in makeup and sunscreen formulations. Its versatility supports use across hair care, skin care, sun care, and color cosmetics.
These two new products complete the ORG range, a series of high-performance ingredients formulated in a biobased carrier, enabling formulators to reduce the use of fossil-based ingredients and achieve their sustainability goals.

It also improves spreading, supports film formation, and contributes to a smooth, elegant skin feel.
