Silike W/O Emulsifier

O Silike W/O Emulsifier It is a natural and vegan ingredient that acts as a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier, forming emulsions in which the external phase is oily and the internal phase is aqueous.

It is an alternative to silicone emulsifiers, presented as a substitute for Lauryl PEG-10 Tris(Trimethylsiloxy)silylethyl DimethiconeIt has an HLB of around 3 and is suitable for formulations seeking water repellency, stability, and a smooth, non-greasy feel.

Benefits

• Provides water repellency.
• It acts as a vehicle for water-sensitive active ingredients through anhydrous emulsions.
• Increases the capacity of the oil phase
• It contributes to the stability of the formulation.
• It provides a smooth, non-greasy texture to the skin.
• Stabilizes emulsions with a high concentration of the internal phase.
• Allows processing at room temperature.
• It allows for the replacement of silicone emulsifiers.
