Our Vegetable alternative to silicone has a soft, light and non-greasy feel. It offers quick skin penetration with a long-lasting silky feel.
- Highly stable transparent liquid emollient
- Olive origin, with great affinity with the skin
- Can be used as a vegetable alternative to silicones (Cyclomethicone D5, Dimethicone DC 200, etc)
- Stable viscosity at any temperature (like Cyclomethicone D5)
- Stable colour at high temperature (100º C)
- Stable odour at high temperature (100º C)
- Stable peroxide value at high temperature (100º C), like silicones
- Preservatives free
- Compatible with most oily ingredients (with different polarities), unlike silicones
- Excellent skin moisturiser/ hair conditioner, like silicones
- Restores skin suppleness and elasticity
- Compatible with all skin types
- Improves hair brightness and smoothness (easier combing), like silicones
- Imparts great sensorial performance and spreadability to formulations, non interfering with formulations viscosity
- Helps reduce the whitening effect of some formulations (like silicones’ low surface tension): anti-soaping effect
- Allows to formulate clear foaming products (shampoos, shower gels, etc…), unlike some silicones (with which formulation gets cloudy): no need to add a solubilizer to obtain a clear product
- Compatible with most surfactants used in foaming products (good foaming properties compatibility)
Recommended usage levels
Shampoo & shower gels: 0.5% to 3%,
