GOODBYE SYNTHETIC SILICONES: EMBRACING NATURAL SILICONE ALTERNATIVE INGREDIENTS
18 December 2025
4 Mins Read

For many years, silicones have been popular in both skincare and haircare. They give an instant smooth, silky and soft feel that people love. They were performance kings.
But the world of beauty is changing fast. Today, consumers demand more than just a luxurious feel—they want a clear conscience. They want to know that what they put on their skin and hair is good for them, and good for the planet.
This new standard means moving away from synthetic fluids that lack ethical sourcing, traceability, and easy biodegradability.
WHY SUSTAINABILITY AS THE NEW STANDARD IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
The best silicone alternatives aren’t just about sensory mimicry; they are about next level sustainability and ethical responsibility. The conversation is now focused on-
Biodegradability: Traditional silicones linger in the environment. New plant-based alternatives break down naturally and completely.
Traceable Sourcing: Knowing exactly where your raw materials come from, ensuring they are renewably sourced, and supporting the communities that grow them. This adds a powerful socio-economic story to your product.
Energy Efficiency: Choosing ingredients whose production requires lower temperatures and less energy than typical chemical processes. The challenge is creating an ingredient that meets these high ethical standards while still delivering the silky, light, and dry sensory experience that consumers expect—with no tackiness or greasiness. That’s where the Novasolve family comes in.
