Appearance
Clear viscous liquid
Function
In cosmetics applications, the low viscosity of dimethicone makes the ingredient an extremely good spreading agent, which creates a non-tacky moisture barrier in skin creams and lotions. This fluid can also eliminate the whitening or -soaping- effect seen in W/O emulsions. Soluble in alcohols.
Synonyms
Dimethicone SF-10; Unicone SF10; Siloxanes and Silicones
Storage
Keep in sealed, unopened, original containers at 60-80oF. Avoid conditions of high humidity and temperature.
