Applications

Various kinds of personal care products such as facial mask, water cream and essence.

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 use, blending with Dimethicone or Cyclomethicone to 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 should not be over 60℃.

The 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 recommended usage level is 1%-20%.
