Sensasil PCA

Siliconized moisturizer for personal care By combining nature’s most common element, silicone, with nature’s best moisturizer, PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), a unique “siliconized” pyrrolidone carboxylic acid product has been created. Sensasil PCA can be utilized in a wide variety of personal care applications to provide a long lasting, silky smooth skin feel not found with most other silicone fluids. In addition, Sensasil PCA has been found to be synergistic with linear and cyclic volatile silicones, significantly improving their sensorial properties, even when incorporated at very low levels.
