Description

This product is a mixture of high molecular weight silicone elastomer in cyclomethicone. Since a clear to slightly translucent gel, it could be dispersed in oil phase. The product may be formulated into w/o emulsions, water-in-silicone oil, and o/w emulsions and anhydrous products to provide dry smoothness and a light silky skin, non-greasy feel.

Technical index

Appearance: Colorless to yellowish, transparent to translucent gel

Penetration degree (1/10mm): 300-450 

Viscosity(cP): 200,000~500,000 

Non-volatile content (%, w/w): ≥14

Applications

This product can be used in skin care, hair care, and other potential formulations, such as sun care, color cosmetics, and styling aid, etc.

How to use? 

This product could be dispersed into the oil-phase using simple mixing.

It can be added to the oil phase or silicone phase in an emulsion formulation. 

It can be post-added to emulsions provided the emulsion is viscous enough for the products to be dispersed. 

For ease of use, blending with dimethicone or cyclomethicone may reduce its viscosity. 

When heat is used, the material should be processed in an enclosed vessel to prevent the cylcopentasiloxane from volatilizing.

The recommended processing temperature is not over 60ºC.

This product would become very thick or even lumpy after a period of time. This is normal and it will recovery to original state after slightly agitate. The suggested usage level is 1%-20%.
