Natura-Tec Plantsil™ is a remarkable sensory enhancer and versatile alternative to traditional silicones in cosmetic formulations. Derived from plant-based materials, this transparent fluid oil offers a light, non-greasy feel with a smooth, elegant, and powdery finish on the skin. It replicates the volatile sensation of cyclomethicone, making it an excellent choice for haircare products as a conditioning agent, and it’s compatible with common surfactants. Whether used in skincare, sun care, men’s grooming, makeup, baby care, or shampoo formulations, Plantsil™ delivers a silky touch, long-lasting smoothness, and a natural solution for skin cleansing and protection, all while restoring suppleness and elasticity.
