How to Use AccessSIL 600B in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessSIL 600B

AccessSIL 600B is a texture-modifying silicone gel that gives your formulas a high-end, velvety aesthetic found in luxury skincare and makeup. Think of the soft-focus, silky glide of a premium makeup primer—that’s the immediate effect this ingredient delivers. It is a thick, clear gel composed of a silicone elastomer network (Dimethicone Crosspolymer) dispersed in Dimethicone.

For new formulators, this is a plug-and-play way to reduce greasiness, improve slip, and create a comfortable matte finish. For cosmetic chemists, AccessSIL 600B is a classic silicone elastomer gel with distinctive rheology and a signature cushion effect. The crosslinked network forms a flexible, breathable film that blurs imperfections, absorbs excess sebum to reduce shine, and elevates the sensory profile of both anhydrous and emulsion systems.

Formulation Tips

Typical usage is 2% to 30%, depending on the desired sensorial impact and viscosity contribution.

Subtle sensory boost (2–5%): Reduce greasiness and add silky glide in creams and lotions without altering viscosity too much.
Primers & anhydrous serums (10–30%): Create silicone-rich bases with cushiony slip, soft-focus blurring, and a lasting matte finish.

Process options: AccessSIL 600B is compatible with both cold and heated processing.

In emulsions (creams/lotions): Add to the oil/silicone phase before heating and emulsifying, or stir in during cool-down for a more pronounced cushiony feel.
In anhydrous systems: Blend directly with oils, esters, or other silicones. It can serve as the primary base for silky primers or serums.

AccessSIL 600B is especially effective at masking tackiness from heavy oils, butters, and some sunscreen actives—resulting in elegant, lightweight finishes that are more pleasant to wear.

Key Formulation Benefits:

Luxurious Silky Feel: Instantly elevates texture with cushiony glide and a premium skin feel.
Matte, Non-Greasy Finish: Absorbs excess oil and reduces shine for a soft, powdery after-feel.
Soft-Focus Blurring: Smooths the look of pores, fine lines, and uneven texture for a refined canvas.
Exceptional Versatility: Works in both cold and hot processes; easy to incorporate in emulsions and anhydrous systems.
Improved Spreadability: Enhances slip and application of creams, lotions, and color cosmetics.
Reduces Tackiness: Minimizes sticky or greasy after-feel from butters, oils, and UV filters.
