Silike nFe

This multifunctional iron-based active acts as a silicone alternative and uses a biolipid delivery system to enhance skin penetration and control release. It stimulates keratinocyte proliferation and supports cell renewal, improving skin vitality and overall appearance. The formula enhances hydration, delivering higher performance than conventional silicones while improving sensorial properties. It disperses easily in aqueous systems and integrates well into gels, emulsions, lotions, and serums, making it suitable for high-performance and premium formulations.
