Decorative Cosmetics: Pearlescent Copper Eye Shadow with Silky Slip (ss) Pigments & SiBrid® DE-23 by Gelest

by Gelest (Mitsubishi Chemical)

This Pearlescent Copper Eye Shadow with Silky Slip (ss) Pigments & SiBrid® DE-23 help contribute to longer wear on skin and a softer feel. Polydiethylsiloxanes offer excellent slip, spread, and blending of powdered cosmetics. Dimethicones and diethicones improve water repellency, but are more lubricious, have increased cushion, and are more compatible with other cosmetic ingredients.
