Cyclopentasiloxane & PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone is silicone emulsifiers which is Water-in-oil type that it performs well in sun care formula. Introducing it from property, application and features, which is relatively comprehensive for clients.
SQ-SE 1225, INCI name is Cyclopentasiloxane & PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, as the counter type of DC 5225C, it is a modified organosilicon oil featuring polyoxyethylene groups within its molecular structure, making it a comb-type polyether product with a notably high molecular weight. To optimize its usability, SQ-SE 1225 is dispersed in a stable emulsion containing Cyclotetrasiloxane. This formulation allows for exceptional flexibility, serving as both a water-in-oil (W/O) and water-in-silicone (W/Si) emulsifier, suitable for various cosmetic applications.
The emulsifying power of SQ-SE 1225 is impressive, providing strong stability and excellent compatibility, which enables the blending of high concentrations of different types of silicone oils. Additionally, by adjusting the ratio of the oil phase to the water phase, formulators can create emulsions with varying viscosities to suit their specific needs.
Cyclopentasiloxane & PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone enhances the overall formulation. The result is a moisturizing and non-greasy skin feel, which is highly desired by consumers. Furthermore, this emulsifier is versatile enough to function in complex emulsion systems, such as W/O/W and O/W/O, making it a valuable ingredient for formulators aiming to deliver high-performance beauty and personal care products.
