Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer (and) Bis-PEG-12 Dimethicone (and) Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethicone[INCI/CTFA]

Description

This product is a mixture of high molecular weight Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer with Cyclopentasiloxane, Bis-PEG-12 Dimethicone, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethicone. It is a white gel having self-emulsifying effect due to hydrophilic modified part, with low-temperature processing which allow it to be formulated into W/O emulsions, W/Si emulsions, and O/W emulsions, to provide dry smoothness and a light silky skin, non-greasy feel when applied in eye cream, essence, etc.
