Cyclomethicone (and) PEG-18/PPG-18 Dimethicone [INCI/CTFA]
Features
1. Cyclomethicone and dimethicone copolyol
2. An excellent formulation aid as dispersion for emollients, moisturisers, sunscreens and antiperspirants
3. Good stability in w/o formulations
4. Making w/o emulsion more clearer
Description
This product is is a dispersion of high molecular weight silicone polyether in cyclopentasiloxane. The product is an good material specifically for water-in-volatile silicone formulations. As a dispersion aid for both non-polar and polar ingredients, it can make non-polar ingredients in the external silicone phase and polar ingredients in the internal aqueous phase.

How to use?
Add the water phase slowly to the oil phase using a high-speed mixer to enhance the stability of W/O emulsion. Increasing the viscosity by increasing the proportion of water phase.
• Stir the product before use.
• Use a homogeniser to stabilize the product further.
• Electrolytes, preferably NaCl at a level of 1-2% should be added to the water phase to ensure long-term stability.
• The emulsion can be made at ambient temperature if the formulation is free from solid ingredients.
The recommended usage level is 4-12%.
