BRB 2835 (Cetyl Silicone)

BRB 2835, also known as Cetyl Silicone, is a cosmetic ingredient commonly used in skincare and hair care
products. It belongs to the silicone family and is derived from cetyl alcohol and dimethicone. Cetyl
Silicone acts as an emollient, providing a smooth and silky texture to formulations. In skincare, it helps
create a soft, non-greasy feel on the skin, while in hair care, it contributes to improved combing,
detangling, and a sleek appearance. This ingredient is valued for its ability to enhance the sensory
properties of cosmetic products, offering a luxurious and smooth application.

Benefits: It seals water in skin, creates a film on skin to protect from environmental damage, provides a
smooth texture to the formulation, retains moisture onto skin, deeply hydrates skin and improves
delivery of actives.
