Dow launched a broader portfolio of skin, hair and color cosmetics ingredients at NYSCC Suppliers’ Day. Its first low carbon silicone elastomer blends debuted under the Decarbia reduced carbon platform. Dow’s newest product offerings include targeted products for conditioning and deposition aids, styling products, cleansers, and film-formers for color cosmetics and suncare applications. They empower formulators to create high-performing consumer loved products, according to Dow.

The company also unveiled prototypes under the theme “From Shower to Sensational.” They’re designed to elevate everyday routines into indulgent self-care experiences. Complementing this is the launch of the “ProtecTress 2.0 program,” focusing on effective hair heat protection options.

Dowsil Silicone Elastomers Blends are carbon-neutral ingredients, a result of Dow’s decarbonization of its silicon metal feedstocks. With a fully integrated supply chain, Dow optimizes every step from raw materials to finished products. Each is backed by verified carbon compensation certification, supported by third party Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and certified Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs).
