Your Speciality Silicones Partner

United as One At the end of 2012, the logical decision was made to combine the functionings of both KCC Silicones and Basildon Chemicals in the personal care sector under one brand and banner; and so KCC Beauty was born. This brand encompasses the hair care expertise of Basildon Chemicals with the skin care knowledge and manufacturing might of KCC Silicones.
