How to Use AccessSIL 602A in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessSIL 602A

AccessSIL 602A is a sensory-enhancing silicone elastomer gel that delivers the signature silky, powdery feel found in premium primers and serums. It is a thick, clear gel composed of a Dimethicone Crosspolymer network suspended in a volatile silicone carrier (Cyclopentasiloxane).

Here’s how it works: Cyclopentasiloxane spreads easily and then evaporates, leaving behind the Dimethicone Crosspolymer—a flexible, breathable mesh-like film on the skin. This film imparts a luxurious, velvety feel and soft-focus blur that helps minimize the look of fine lines and uneven texture. It’s a simple way for beginners to achieve professional sensorial quality, and a powerful tool for experts to refine and elevate complex formulations.

Formulation Tips

As a Texture Enhancer (5–20%): To reduce greasiness or tack in creams and lotions, add AccessSIL 602A to the oil phase before emulsification or incorporate it during cool-down (below 50°C / 122°F) with gentle stirring. Expect an instant improvement in slip and a refined, powdery after-feel.

As a Primary Base (30–95%): For anhydrous serums and makeup primers, use AccessSIL 602A as the main base. Blend in oil-soluble actives, emollients, or pigments at room temperature (cold-process friendly). It can be thickened or textured with silica powders or complemented with silicone gums for added body.

Compatibility: Works well with cosmetic oils, esters, and other silicones. Because it is oil-based, incorporate it into the oil phase of an emulsion. It is not water-miscible without proper emulsification.

Key Formulation Benefits:

Luxurious Silky Feel: Delivers a velvety, smooth, and powdery sensory profile associated with premium products.
Reduces Greasiness & Tackiness: Masks heavy or sticky feel from butters, oils, and UV filters for a lightweight, elegant finish.
Soft-Focus Blurring: Fills in fine lines and texture irregularities to create a visible soft-focus, matte effect—ideal for primers.
Improved Spreadability: Enhances slip and glide for effortless, even application on skin or hair.
Cold-Process Friendly: Easily incorporated at room temperature to simplify manufacturing and save energy.
Versatile Base: Functions as both a sensory modifier in emulsions and the primary structure in anhydrous serums and color cosmetics.
