Frequently Asked Questions
What is dimethicone crosspolymer?
Dimethicone crosspolymer is a cross-linked silicone elastomer that thickens silicone phases and contributes a soft, powdery, slip-enhancing feel. In this blend it is combined with cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol, phenyl trimethicone, and C12-15 alkyl benzoate to form a conditioning, smoothing base for hair- and skin-care formulations.
What is this cyclopentasiloxane silicone blend used for?
This formulated silicone blend is used as a conditioning, smoothing, and slip-enhancing base in personal care: smoothing, shine, and slip in hair serums and leave-on products; emollient silky after-feel in lotions and primers; and as a fast, even-spreading, low-tack agent in formulations.
What does each component contribute to the blend?
Cyclopentasiloxane (CAS 541-02-6) is the volatile carrier; dimethiconol and phenyl trimethicone add conditioning, shine, and substantivity; C12-15 alkyl benzoate is an emollient ester that boosts spreadability and solubilizes other ingredients; and dimethicone crosspolymer provides a soft, velvety feel and viscosity control.
Is this silicone blend water soluble?
No. It is a silicone-based, oil-phase blend and is not water soluble; it disperses in the oil/silicone phase of an emulsion or is used in anhydrous systems. Consult the product SDS and technical data sheet for compatibility and handling.
