Thomas Swan Announces CasEmol Range to Meet Demand for Silicone-Free Personal Care Solutions

As regulatory restrictions tighten around the use of volatile silicones (D4, D5, and D6) as emollients in cosmetics and personal care applications, Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd. is excited to offer CasEmol, a high-performance range of biodegradable paraffinic emollients designed to deliver the sensory appeal of silicones—without the environmental concerns.

The CasEmol range features ultra-high purity linear alkane hydrocarbons (C12–C22) that provide exceptional formulation flexibility and sensory diversity, from dry and powdery to rich and cushiony.
