Product introduction
SMOICON®MY651 is a silicone crosslinked polymer with cyclopentamethylene dimethyl siloxane solvent. It is quick-drying, has a velvety skin feel, a powdery texture, dry and non-greasy, and is combustible. Adding this substance to the formula has a silky smooth feeling and can maintain a long-lasting skin texture. It can be used for thickening anhydrous formulas and oil-in-water formulas, which can be cold and hot.,
This silicone elastomer gel also helps reduce the stickiness of certain formulas and gives the product a soft matte makeup effect.This is the main reason why formulators use it in products that require powdered makeup but do not want to use heavy powder.When matching with other oily
Emollients such as
Isopropyl myristate, it can balance the spreading property and avoid the slippery feeling that is too floating on the skin surface.
Scope of application
- Skin care products-creams, lotions, serums, eye care products.It can increase the smoothness of the product, bring a soft and dry makeup, and neutralize the greasy feeling of moisturizing creams and essential oils without making the skin feel tight.It can work well together with GLYCERETH 26 to adjust the moisture release rhythm of the emulsion system.When building stable emulsion frameworks, formulators sometimes pair it with Oil in water emulsifier to get a softer skin finish.
- Makeup-foundation, primer, lipstick, BB cream/CC cream.It can improve the ductility of the product, help the product last all day, and give the skin a soft-focus powdery matte makeup effect.
- Antiperspirants and deodorants-stick, ball, cream.Cyclopentylsiloxane ingredients can evaporate quickly, leaving a dry and non-greasy skin feeling, which is exactly what is needed for rod-shaped or ball-shaped antiperspirants.
- Sunscreen-It can be well integrated into the anhydrous and anhydrous sunscreen system, reducing the heavyness and closure of inorganic sunscreens, and helping the product to be applied evenly.Many formulators will combine it with PEG 60 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL to improve the dispersion of sunscreen actives in the system.
- Hair care products-lightweight styling products and disposable hair care products, it can play a role when you need a silky moisturizing effect, but you don't want the product to appear greasy and heavy.It can also be compounded with cationic fabric softener for some leave-on hair smoothing formulations to reduce coarse frizzy sensation.
- Anhydrous and water-based systems-it can thicken and increase thickness, so the structure can be constructed without the use of wax.
Recipe guide
Add SMOICON®MY651 to the oil phase or silicon phase and perform a simple mixing and dispersion.It is suitable for hot processing or cold processing technology.If the gel is too thick to operate, it can be mixed with dimethyl silicone oil or more cyclopentylsiloxane to reduce viscosity.If heating is required, place it in an airtight container and avoid excessive heating to prevent cyclopentylsiloxane from evaporating too quickly.The typical dosage is 1% to 20% of the total amount of the formula; adjust the dosage within this range to achieve the desired texture and consistency.In terms of compatibility, it has a good effect when mixed with other silicone compounds.
Frequently asked questions
Question: What is the INCI name of SMOICON®MY651?
Answer: cyclopentylsiloxane and dimethylsiloxane crosslinked polymers.It is a mixture of cyclopentylsiloxane (CAS 541-02-6) and dimethyl siloxane crosslinked polymer (CAS 300-00-5).
Q: What formulas can SMOICON®MY651 be used for?
Answer: Skin care products, makeup, and antiperspirant deodorants.It can also thicken anhydrous and oil-in-water systems, so it is suitable for creams, lotions, serums, foundations, makeup primer, lipsticks, and antiperspirant deodorant sticks or ball products.Formulators also use it in sunscreens and mild hair care products.
Q: Is it compatible with water-based (oil-in-water) systems?
Answer: It is designed for anhydrous and oil-in-water systems.Although it can also be used in water-in-oil emulsions, it is most suitable for the oil-in-water or water-in-oil phase.
