Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone (and) PEG/PPG-10/15 Dimethicone (and) Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer

Introduction

SiSiB® PC16466 is a kind of silicone gel with slight characteristic odor that contains polyether groups, which not only has the skin feel, but also it can be an emulsifying agent in water-in-silicone oil and water-in-oil systems. This product can enhance the thickness feel for water-in-silicone oil and water-in-oil systems, provides better stability and soft, silky-powdery smoothness, and the semi-gloss effect. In addition, the product can dissolve the non-polar ingredients in the external phase (silicone oil) and the polar ingredients in the inner phase (water) as a dispersant in polar ingredients and non-polar ingredients formulations. It is a good transfer system for both polar and non-polar materials.

Advantages

• Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone and Crosspolymer of polyether and polysiloxane

• Excellent W/Si and W/O emulsibility

• Acts as a thickening agent in W/Si and W/O systems

• Provides velvet skin feel for the products

Physical Properties

Benefits & Applications

SiSiB® PC16466 could be used in a wide range of personal care applications, includes:

• Color cosmetics (such as W/O formulation)

• Skin care (such as foundation, eye shadow and so on)

• Sun care

How to use:

• Thoroughly stir the product into oil phase.

• Add water phase to oil phase emulsion slowly.

• Speed up the stirring rate to enhance stability of W/O emulsion system, increase proportion of water phase to enhance stickiness.

• Added electrolytes, preferably NaCl at a level of 0.5% to 2% in water phase to enhance storage stability of the emulsion system.

• The emulsion can be emulsified at ambient temperature if the formulation was free from solid ingredients.
