Lubrizol Life Science Beauty’s (LLS Beauty) SilSense™ Bio 5 emollient, a sustainable silicone alternative bringing unique sensorial and performance to makeup formulations, won the Silver Make-up Bar Award at the recent in-cosmetics® Global in Barcelona. The jury recognized innovative technologies that offer brands a way to deliver captivating sensorial and makeup finishes. 

In makeup applications, the addition of SilSense™ Bio 5 emollient provides formulations with a smooth and dry afterfeel as well as good pigment dispersion. Using it shows less transfer of makeup, and by adding SilSense™ Bio 5 emollient, formulations keep their fluidity over time, meaning improved product shelf life and sensorial experience. 

At in-cosmetics Global, SilSense™ Bio 5 emollient was featured in several makeup formulations: 

• Fluid Powder Foundation for Oily Skin – This velvety foundation spreads on the skin like a fluid powder delivering smoothness, immediate oil and shine control, and full coverage that lasts with a powdery afterfeel. 
• Glittery Eye Gloss Shadow – Innovative texture transforms from a jelly to a powdery fluid with excellent pigment load and dispersion. Perfect for building eye-catching looks, full of color. 
• Cream-to-powder Face Contour Bronzer – Bronzer cream melts seamlessly with the skin settling into a powdery finish and non-transfer. Ideal for highlighting and enhancing the best features with a look that stays all day. 
• Liquid Silky Blush and Lipstick – This multipurpose rose-tint formula glides right on lips for a velvety, nonsticky finish, and blends over cheeks for a healthy and glowy look. 
• Milky Bi-phase Micellar Makeup Remover – Once shaken and sprayed on the skin, this biphasic makeup remover has a milky micellar water texture that leaves the skin refreshed and gently cleansed. 

SilSenseTM Bio 5 emollient is a biodegradable, highly pure, fast-spreading volatile emollient, that provides a lightweight and nongreasy soft feel to the hair, scalp and skin. To be used as a silicone alternative to Cyclopentasiloxane D5 in leave-on applications, with similar performance and sensory feel, it is suitable for makeup, skin care, sun care, hair care and hair color. It is also COSMOS-approved and vegan-, halal- and kosher-compliant. 

SilSense™ Bio 5 emollient was also included as a finalist in the Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award category for innovative functional ingredient and joined by LLS Beauty’s Xpozuki™ biotech ingredient, a finalist in the Green Ingredient Award category.
