Gransense® TC-55X/C is a patented, biodegradable elastomer that reimagines skin feel in cosmetic formulations. This next-generation, bio-based technology offers a silky, velvety after-feel and a luxurious matte finish, delivering a soft-focus effect that elevates both texture and performance.
High-performance Alternative
Formulated as a natural polyester elastomer, Gransense® TC-55X/C is a high-performance alternative to traditional silicone elastomers. It provides a velvety-soft cushion effect and excellent spreadability, making it ideal for skincare, color cosmetics, and hybrid formulations.
Versatile Tool for Formulators
Compatible with oil-in-water, water-in-oil, and anhydrous systems, this ingredient brings versatility to every formulator’s toolkit. Beyond its sensory appeal, it acts as a stable delivery vehicle for active ingredients, improving substantivity while leaving behind a smooth, quick-absorbing finish that feels weightless on the skin.
Why it Stands Out
✔ Bio-based & biodegradable
✔ Enhances sensory texture and cushion
✔ Delivers visible wrinkle and shine reduction
✔ Eco-conscious alternative to silicone elastomers
Proven Efficacy
In Visia 3D imaging tests, a formulation containing just 20% Gransense® TC-55X/C showed measurable improvements in wrinkle depth, volume, and shine within minutes. Outperforming leading silicone benchmarks in both speed and effectiveness.
Commitment to Sustainability
As a proud finalist in the 2025 in-cosmetics Global Innovation Zone Awards, Gransense® TC-55X/C reflects Grant Industries’ commitment to sustainable innovation and high-performance ingredient design.
