Color Cosmetics
Long-wear colour fails in two places: the film cracks, or the pigment was never properly wetted. MQ resin film formers handle the first, alkyl and hydroxy-functional fluids handle the second.

Which silicone solves which formulation problem — and the grades that do it.

Explore Color Cosmetics →Texture and stability are set by two choices: which emulsifier holds the water phase, and which carrier controls spreading and the after-feel. Volatile linear grades replace D5 where cyclic siloxanes are restricted.
Key grades
Surfactant systems need silicones that stay in the water phase and survive the rinse. Water-soluble polyethers do that; alkyl and elastomer grades then take the tack out of leave-on body care without making it heavy.
Explore Personal Care & Body Cleansing →The carrier decides almost everything here: how fast the product dries, whether aluminium salts stay dispersed, and whether the stick leaves marks on clothing. Manta's linear F1006 ladder covers the volatility range without added D4, D5 or D6, with cyclic siloxane content stated per batch.
