Dimethicone

Description

What is Dimethicone

Dimethicone is an ingredient made of silicone. It has also been referred to as polydimethylsiloxane. It is commonly applied in skincare, hair care, sun care, and makeup. It creates a film of light protection, assists in the minimization of skin water loss, enhances the movement of products on the hair, and provides the products with a smooth, silky touch.

The reasons why Formulators want Dimethicone

• Smooth Skin Feel: Dimethicone causes creams, serums, and primers to have a smooth feel. It is also useful in making it less tacky in the rub-in process.
• Best Hair Slip: It makes hair appear less sticky in shampoos, hair conditioners, and hair serums. It is also useful in the reduction of friction and static.
• Reduce Water Loss: Dimethicone creates a light layer on the skin. This assists in retaining moisture and enhances the sensation of the skin without a greasy texture.

Application: It is applied in moisturizers, sun care, makeup, shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. It also remains constant with natural cosmetic processing.

How to Use

Handling: Dimethicone is not normally difficult to handle due to the fact that it is a liquid. Blend it either with the oil phase or the silicone phase. Do not pour it directly into the plain water since it is not dissolved in water.

Products Product Type Usage Levels

These are real entry-level lines with reference to general supplier prescription and typical cosmetic application. The fifth level is based on the feel, viscosity, and product goal that you desire.

Usage Levels by Product Type

These are practical starter ranges based on common supplier guidance and normal cosmetic use. Final level depends on the feel, viscosity, and product goal you want.

pH: Dimethicone does not regulate the pH of your formula. It is used over a broad pH range, although too strong an acid and too strong an alkali should be avoided. Final pH determined using the complete formula.

Formulation Build Order

You should get your water phase and oil phase ready to use in the formula. Add the Dimethicone to the silicone phase or oil phase. Combine and cook to your own liking. Add an emulsifier in case you are preparing a cream or lotion. Add heat-sensitive ingredients as it cools down. Final viscosity, feel, and pH of the entire formula.

This sequence of building is effective since Dimethicone is insoluble in water and is typically manipulated in the insoluble state, with regard to water.
