Dimethicone (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer LC-EL541B

LC-EL541B is an oil soluble nonvolatile silicone elastomer gel, which is composed of medium low viscosity linear polydimethylsiloxane (Dimethicone) as an inert carrier and vinyl crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane elastomer particles. It is a classic skin feel regulator in personal care products that balances moisturizing and elastic skin feel. Unlike volatile carriers such as silicone elastomers, it has longer film-forming and better moisturizing properties; At the same time, the ethylene cross-linked structure endows the elastomer with stronger resilience, resulting in a lighter skin feel compared to similar products without ethylene cross-linking. It is suitable for moisturizing but non sticky skincare, hair care, and makeup formulas.

Features & Benefits of Dimethicone (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer LC-EL541B

Balanced skin texture and moisturization

  • Elastomeric silk smoothness: the "ball effect" of vinyl cross-linked elastomer particles is more significant. Combined with the smoothness of linear silicone oil, the skin feel is lighter than pure silicone oil, and more elastic than non vinyl cross-linked elastomer. It is suitable for use as the core skin feel ingredient of moisturizing face cream and hair conditioner.

  • Long term moisturizing film formation: Non volatile carrier and elastic film work together to lock in moisture, providing long-lasting nourishment to the skin/hair, avoiding dryness and peeling. At the same time, the elastic film is not tight, suitable for dry skin and dry and damaged hair.

  • No residual burden: The film is soft and elastic, different from the hard film feeling of traditional resins and the oil film feeling of high viscosity silicone oil, improving the product's user experience.

Excellent formula compatibility performance

  • It can be compounded with various silicone oils (amino silicone oil, cyclic silicone oil, polymethylsilsesquioxane), oils, waxes, powders (talc powder, mica, titanium dioxide) and active ingredients (sodium hyaluronate, ceramide) without any compatibility restrictions.

  • It is applicable to anhydrous formula (wax, lipstick), water in oil (W/O) system (sunscreen, moisturizing face cream), oil in water (O/W) system (lotion, liquid foundation).

Widely applicable applications

  • In skincare, it can enhance moisturizing and skin sensation, and repair the skin barrier; In hair care, it can repair dry and frizzy hair, improve hair elasticity; Makeup can enhance makeup retention and moisturization, avoiding powder sticking and dryness.

High security

  • Strong chemical inertness, does not react with the skin/scalp, does not contain irritating ingredients, and the elastic membrane does not clog pores. It is suitable for use on sensitive skin, dry skin, and damaged scalp.


Applications of Dimethicone (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer LC-EL541B

  • Skin care products: moisturizing face cream, lotion, essence, hand cream

  • Cosmetic products: liquid foundation, air cushion, lipstick, lip glaze

  • Hair care products: hair conditioner, hair mask, repair essence, hair oil


How to uses

  • Skin care products: enhance skin texture, provide long-lasting hydration, repair skin barrier: 3%~15%

  • Cosmetic products: Enhance moisturizing, long-lasting, and prevent powder sticking and drying: 2%~10%

  • Hair care products: repair dry and rough hair, improve smoothness and glossiness: 2%~8%

Adding method

  • Oil phase/anhydrous formula: Add directly to the oil phase or anhydrous system, stir evenly at room temperature, and no heating is required.

  • Emulsification formula: Add after heating the oil phase to 60-70 ℃, stir evenly, and emulsify with the water phase. Cool down to below 40 ℃ and then add active ingredients (such as sodium hyaluronate and vitamin C).

  • Powder formula: Mix with a small amount of polydimethylsiloxane first, and then mix with other powders (such as talcum powder, mica) to improve the dispersibility and smoothness of the powder.

Suggestions for compounding

  • Skincare and Moisturizing: Compound with Sodium Hyaluronate and Ceramide to enhance long-term moisturizing and barrier repair effects; Combined with polymethylsilsesquioxane, it balances moisturizing and mild oil control.

  • Makeup base: Formulated with C30-45 Alkyldimethylsilyl Polypropylene to enhance makeup retention and waterproofness; Compound with silane powder to enhance smoothness.

  • Hair care: mixed with amino silicone oil (such as Amodimethicone lotion), giving consideration to smoothness and hair softness; Combined with cyclic siloxane to enhance spreading properties.

Precautions

  • Avoid using in strong acid (pH

  • When adding high amounts (>15%), attention should be paid to the flowability of the formula. Low viscosity silicone oil can be added appropriately to adjust the viscosity and avoid the product being too viscous.


Package

  • N.W 20Kg Plastic pails or 200Kg iron drums


Storage

  • During storage, it shall be sealed to avoid direct sunlight, and the storage temperature shall be controlled below 25 ℃ to prevent gel from oxidation and deterioration.
