1. Solubility and compatibility
The solubility of polyether-modified silicone fluids gives them significant advantages in cosmetic formulations. Not only is it easily soluble in alcohol and water, it also coexists harmoniously with other cosmetic ingredients. When added at an amount of 0.15% to 5%, it can effectively reduce the surface tension of cosmetic preparations and promote the even diffusion of products on skin or hair.
2. Application fields
Polyether modified silicone oil is used in shampoos, conditioners, mousses, skin care products, shaving products, antiperspirants, perfumes, soaps and make-up cosmetics. In hair preparations, its addition makes the hair glossier, easier to comb, smoother, anti-static and provides a nice touch.
3. The role of emulsifier
Polyether-modified silicone oil varieties with smaller HLB values can be used as emulsifiers in silicone oil compounding systems. In skin cream preparations, polyether-modified silicone oil can emulsify low-viscosity methyl silicone oil with water to form a stable dispersion system. This preparation is gentle and non-irritating to the skin.
