SiCare 2500 - low-viscosity phenyl dimethicone

INCI:

Phenyl Dimethicone

Manufacturer:

Hunan Silok Silicone Co., Ltd.

Description:

SiCare 2500 is phenyl dimethicone – a polysiloxane in which some methyl groups are replaced by phenyl groups. At a low viscosity of 10–50 cps it has a refractive index of 1.4750, which translates into visible gloss. The phenyl groups improve miscibility with cosmetic oils, so it works well in bi-phase systems, lipsticks, lip glosses, hair oils, sun care and conditioners.

• Refractive index of 1.4750 adds gloss to skin, lips and hair.
• Forms a smooth, low-tack, water-resistant film.
• High compatibility with cosmetic oils eases oil-phase formulation.
• Lowest viscosity of this group – a light option beside the thicker SiCare 2554 grades.

Applications: Bi-phase systems, lipsticks, lip glosses, hair oils, sunscreens, shampoos and conditioners.

• Viscosity: 10–50 cps.
• Refractive index: 1.4750.
• Phase: oil; readily miscible with cosmetic oils.
