Bluestar Silicones, a subsidiary of the Chinese Bluestar group, will participate in the 2010 edition of the In-Cosmetics show in France [1]. Bluestar Silicones will showcase its full range of silicones for use in a number of cosmetics and healthcare segment application fields.

Founded in 2007, in particular from Rhodia’s silicone business, Bluestar Silicones generates a turnover of EUR 600 million and operates manufacturing sites in all regions of the world. Bluestar Silicones offers a comprehensive range of speciality silicones (high molecular mass gums in volatile silicones, amodimethicones and their emulsions, silicone polyethers, performance systems, etc.), in particular the Mirasil range, which is devoted to hair and skin care products.

Bluestar Silicones, which claims to be a one of the leading manufacturers of completely integrated silicones, is demonstrating its determination to become a key worldwide supplier of performance systems to the cosmetics industry. “This positioning fits in with Bluestar Silicones’ global strategy and that of its new production facility in China that has joined ranks with its silicone product manufacturing and research sites at Saint Fons (France), Lübeck (Germany), Santa Perpétua (Spain) and Caronno (Italy) that work for the cosmetics industry,” explains the company.
