Silicones: A Great Match for Sustainability and Performance- Presented by Kyle Ryder

Event Date: April 2nd, 2025; Time: 3-5 pm

Where: Slyman's Tavern Independence, 6901 Rockside Rd, Independence, OH 44131

Presenter: Kyle Ryder

Abstract:

In recent years, many cosmetic raw materials have been negatively portrayed by fearmongering and misinformation.  Silicones are near the top of the list of products under attack.  The categories of negative comments include product safety, environmental impact, and product performance.  As cosmetic formulation chemists and as scientists, it is our responsibility to educate consumers on what is and is not safe and effective.

In this presentation we will debunk each myth surrounding the use of silicones in Personal Care products.   There will also be a focus on the use of silicones in combination with or in place of natural materials.  Lastly, there will be a brief overview of many of the different ways the silicone backbone can be compounded and reacted with other materials to create unique and innovative materials.
