DOWSIL™ 5200 Formulation Aid

DOWSIL™ 5200 Formulation Aid (Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 Methicone) is an innovative liquid alkylmethyl silicone polyether copolymer designed to enhance the formulation of water-in-oil emulsions with a low to medium polarity oil phase. This unique ingredient serves as an efficient emulsifier, seamlessly bridging the gap between oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems. Products formulated with DOWSIL™ 5200 harness the protective, water-resistant benefits typical of water-in-oil formulations, all while avoiding the greasiness associated with conventional systems. Notably, it allows for low-energy processing at room temperature, contributing to reduced energy costs and quicker production times. With its ability to create a stable visco-elastic film at the water/oil interface, this formulation aid excels in maintaining stability even at high water concentrations and low emulsifier levels. Additionally, it enables the incorporation of high levels of humectants, such as glycerine and propylene glycol, while delivering an excellent sensory experience on skin and hair.
