SiCare 2497 - hydrophilic dimethicone PEG-7 cocoate

INCI:

Dimethicone Peg-7 Cocoate

Manufacturer:

Hunan Silok Silicone Co., Ltd.

Description:

SiCare 2497 is Dimethicone PEG-7 Cocoate – an ester of dimethicone with polyethylene glycol and coconut fatty acids. It is an amber, viscous fluid (6,000–11,000 cps) with hydrophilic character, so it blends into aqueous cleansing systems without clouding. It serves as a light conditioning agent in clear amino acid shampoos, make-up removers and hair care mousses.

• Hydrophilic – compatible with clear amino acid surfactant shampoos.
• Conditions hair while keeping it fluffy and full of volume.
• Less greasy feel than conventional oil-soluble silicones.
• Also suits make-up removers, improving skin feel after cleansing.
• Its PEG chains provide the water affinity that plain dimethicone lacks.

Applications: Shampoos (including clear amino acid systems), make-up removers and hair care mousses.

• Form: amber viscous fluid.
• Viscosity: 6,000–11,000 cps.
• Hydrophilic – for water-based systems.
