Gelest is a leader and innovator, with 30 years of experience in material science and technology.

As well as this, we will also be able to distribute the Gelest specialty hybrid silicone fluids, including SiBrid® Diethicone, for skin care and hair care.

Speciality Hybrid Fluids:

SiBrid® Diethicone is one of Gelest’s specialty hybrid fluid offerings, which provides slip, tack reduction, emollience, and solubility. These are organic modified siloxanes that cross the boundaries between organics and silicones.

Surface-treated Pigments

Gelest’s extensive experience in silane chemistry led to the development of unique surface-treated inorganic pigments and fillers. These unique particles have excellent skin adhesion qualities, as well as water/sweat/oil resistance. They also allow for higher pigment loading, and an improved compression of powders, which resists breakage.

Surface-treated Pigments

Gelest’s custom surface modification service also allows users to select custom and proprietary treatments applied by a variety of deposition technologies on a wide range of fillers and pigments. These pigments can be utilised to supplement 2022 trends such as; long-wear cosmetics, multifunctional makeup with skincare benefits, and maximum colour.
