The Bench
Three developed for
your next formulation.
Selected from our speciality range — the chemistries formulators are reaching for right now in skincare, haircare, and color cosmetics.
-
NISH PT103
INCI: Propyl Trisiloxane
A short-chain trisiloxane that matches D5 performance without the cyclic siloxane regulatory profile. The chemistry that lets formulators serve EU and UK markets confidently.
- 1–2 cSt at 25°C
- RI 1.3960
- 100%
Volatile Silicones -
NISH EL 450
INCI: Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
Lightweight silicone elastomer gel — soft-focus blurring, sebum absorption, and pigment stabilization for primers and foundations.
- Soft gel
- RI 1.400
- 12.0%–13.0% NV
Silicone Elastomers -
NISH PTM 4710
INCI: Diphenyl Siloxy Phenyl Trimethicone
Asymmetric three-phenyl structure with exceptionally high refractive index — for gloss, color depth, and SPF boost in suncare formulations.
- 10–20 cSt at 25°C
- RI 1.490–1.500
- 100%
Phenyl Silicones
WHAT FORMULATORS SAY
Trusted by formulators across India and beyond.
Quotes published with written permission.
We moved our premium skincare line to NISH PT103 and the sensory profile matched the imported equivalent at a much more workable price point. Nishka's technical team understood the dry-down finish we wanted and didn't push us into a higher-grade product we didn't need.
NISH EL450 gave us the cushiony soft-focus feel we needed in our foundation without the heaviness our previous elastomer carried. The blendability and application window are wider than the imported reference we benchmarked against, and the cost difference made the reformulation viable across the entire range.
Samples from Vapi reached our lab in 48 hours with a starting formulation included. That kind of responsiveness is unusual for speciality silicone suppliers in India — most expect us to do all the formulation work ourselves. It's the closest experience we've had to working with a global speciality house.
As a brand exporting to the EU, REACH compliance is non-negotiable. Nishka provided full SVHC declarations on every product we evaluated and proactively flagged D5-free alternatives where our specifications required them. That documentation discipline made the supplier qualification straightforward — a process that usually takes months elsewhere.
