Silicone Veegetal — plant-based silicone alternative for clean formulations
Silicone Veegetal is a natural, biodegradable alternative to synthetic silicones, derived from renewable plant fatty acids. It offers a silky-smooth texture, non-greasy finish, and exceptional sensory properties, making it ideal for modern skincare, haircare, and makeup products. Widely used in clean beauty formulations, Silicone Veegetal allows formulators to replace volatile silicones while maintaining excellent spreadability and product performance.
This ingredient is liquid, transparent, and easy to incorporate into cold-process emulsions. It does not require heating, blends well with most cosmetic actives, natural oils, surfactants, and preservatives, and is well-tolerated by sensitive skin. It is especially appreciated in vegan and sustainable product lines.
Applications and industry use
Silicone Veegetal is widely used in:
facial creams and serums
lightweight moisturizers and emulsions
hair serums, conditioners, leave-ins
makeup primers and liquid foundations
sun care products
dermatological creams and pharma gels
spa and salon professional skincare
Its versatility and softness make it suitable for use in cosmetics, dermatology, and even clean household or veterinary care. It creates a breathable, smooth layer on the skin or hair, enhancing the feel of formulations and supporting even distribution of actives.
Cosmetic function and performance
In facial skincare, Silicone Veegetal improves the application glide, reduces tackiness, and delivers a soft-focus finish. In haircare, it boosts shine, detangles, provides thermal protection, and controls frizz — all without weighing down the hair or leaving buildup.
In makeup, it contributes to silky application, better pigment dispersion, and a velvety matte effect. It is an excellent choice for brands that aim to eliminate dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, and other synthetic silicones.
