Makeup FX
Smooth-On's wide variety of platinum cure, skin-safe silicone rubbers are used to create realistic skin effects. Ecoflex® and Dragon Skin® super soft silicones have become the industry standard for creating silicone masks and more.
Adding SLACKER® additive creates a 'deadened' gel-like silicone perfect for realistic applicance movement. Ecoflex® GEL is 'pre-deadened' and makes a superb appliance filler.
Dragon Skin® FX-Pro can be used as a membrane, or is soft enough to be used as a solid prosthetic appliance.
Skin Tite® certified skin-safe silicone can be used to build up wounds and scars directly on the skin or as an adhesive for cast silicone appliances.
