The beauty and personal care market is uniquely competitive. Sourcing ingredients has become much more about finding a partner that can deliver solutions and support.

Siltech specializes in the design and manufacture of advanced silicone‑based technologies for personal care, leveraging decades of expertise in organo‑functional siloxane chemistry. Siltech’s portfolio includes high‑performance silicone surfactants, emulsifiers, conditioning polymers, alkyl‑modified siloxanes, and reactive silicone materials engineered to enhance deposition, substantivity, lubricity, spreadability, and long‑lasting sensory aesthetics across hair care, skin care, color cosmetics and cleansing systems.

A core strength of Siltech is its ability to create fully customized solutions—tailoring molecular architectures to meet precise performance, formulation and regulatory requirements. This includes designing materials that improve emulsion stability, boost pigment dispersion, enhance foam quality, increase water resistance, or deliver targeted conditioning without buildup.

Our guests on the Happi Podcast are Matthew J. Sygo, global manager sales and marketing, and R&D Chemist Oleg Gorya.

In this podcast we talk about:

  • A versatile elastomer gel, SILMER® G-162, that can be produced in a matte or gloss finish. It has been coined by their team as “shy or shine”—and you’ll find out why.
  • A new film former, SILMER® Q7-G10, that has excellent transfer resistance.
  • How Siltech’s R&D and applications teams can collaborate closely with your brand to co‑develop novel structures, optimize formulation compatibility, and solve complex performance challenges.
  • Siltech’s capacity and how this nimble player in silicones is uniquely positioned to support your beauty and personal care company with silicone-modified polymers, film-forming silicone resins and hybrid silicone-organic molecules.
