Create non-tacky, non-greasy skincare and haircare products with HARMONIE Silken gums.

Comprised of an ultra-high molecular weight silicone gum and C13-16 alkane (formerly C13-16 Isoparaffin)* (a naturally derived ingredient from sugarcane fermentation), this versatile product has a high spreadability and soft after-feel making it ideal for skin care, color cosmetics, and hair conditioning.

Luxurious Feel
HARMONIE Silken gum blends deliver light and tactile textures with no unpleasant residue, helping to reduce the greasiness of organic sun filters or for lighter sunscreens with optimal spreadability.
