For decades, silicones have played a central role in skin and hair care formulations. Valued for their unrivalled slip, spreadability, and smooth after‑feel, they’ve long been a formulator favourite.
However, as the personal care industry evolves, so too must ingredient strategies. Increasing regulatory attention, environmental considerations, and growing consumer awareness are prompting brands and formulators to rethink the long‑term role of silicones in their products.
This growing challenge has led many formulators to seek high‑performance emollients that deliver silicone‑like sensorial benefits but align more closely with today’s regulatory and environmental expectations.
Introducing CasEmol
To address this need, Thomas Swan developed CasEmol — a range of paraffinic emollients designed to function as effective alternatives to silicones and other traditional ingredients.
CasEmol delivers the tactile qualities formulators rely on, while supporting modern formulation goals.
Key Benefits of CasEmol
- Silicone‑like sensory performance
CasEmol provides excellent slip, spreadability, and a smooth, silky after‑feel comparable to traditional silicones. - Formulation versatility
Suitable for use across skin care, hair care, and a wide range of personal care applications. - A more considered ingredient choice
Designed to help formulators navigate evolving regulatory requirements and sustainability expectations without sacrificing performance.
CasEmol can be used as a drop‑in replacement, helping streamline reformulation while maintaining the look, feel, and quality of finished products.
