Specification of Skin Conditioning Agent Caprylyl Methicone 100gr
Caprylyl Methicone is a siloxane polymer. It provides a silky smooth feel, an easy spreadability, and reduced greasiness to cosmetics products. It is compatible with various other organic ingredients such as esters, glycerides, fatty alcohols and acids, hydrocarbons, vegetable oils, sunscreen actives, hydrophilics, and silicones. It is used in make-up products such as lip gloss, lipsticks, eye shadows and skin care products such as sunscreen, moisturizer, anti-aging creams.
A clear, colorless, low viscosity, volatile (does not absorb into the skin but rather evaporates from it) silicone fluid that has excellent spreadability and leaves a light, silky and smooth feel on the skin.
According to manufacturer info, its big advantage is that it's compatible both with other silicones and with natural plant oils, so it's a great ingredient to formulate products with good-sounding, consumer-pleasing vegetable oils but still maintain a cosmetically elegant, non-greasy and non-tacky feel.
