How to uses

Adding method

Oil phase/anhydrous formula: directly add to the oil phase or anhydrous system, stir evenly, no heating required;

Powder formula: It can be mixed with a small amount of silicone oil first, and then mixed with other powders to improve dispersibility.

Suggestions for compounding

Skincare oil control: compounded with polymethylsilsesquioxane powder to enhance oil control and matte effect; Combined with sodium hyaluronate, it balances oil control and moisturizing.
Makeup base: compounded with C30-45 alkyl methyl siloxane to enhance makeup retention and waterproofness; Compound with silane powder to improve smoothness.
Hair care and anti frizz: compounded with amino silicone oil, balancing smoothness and softness; Combined with cyclic siloxane to enhance spreading properties.

Precautions

Avoid using in strong acid (pH
Carrier D5 is a volatile silicone oil, and attention should be paid to the volatility of the formula to avoid volume shrinkage of the product during storage;
When adding high amounts (>15%), attention should be paid to the flowability of the formula to avoid the product being too viscous.
