ISODODECANE & DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER

Product Description

This product is a premium silicone elastomer gel, featuring a high-purity dimethicone crosspolymer dispersed in the highly volatile and lightweight solvent, isododecane. It is expertly engineered to create a breathable, flexible film on the skin, providing a long-lasting, lightweight, and matte makeup effect. Its key advantage is its rapid film-forming capability, which locks in pigments for a transfer-proof finish, while the volatile carrier evaporates to leave a comfortable, non-greasy, and powdery feel. For formulators seeking to develop high-performance, long-wear color cosmetics that are D4/D5-free, this elastomer gel is a superior choice.

Product Uses

This advanced film-former and sensory modifier is a cornerstone for creating modern, long-lasting makeup:

• Color Cosmetics: The ideal base for long-wearing liquid lipsticks, transfer-resistant foundations, cream eyeshadows, and mattifying primers.
• Skincare: Used in oil-control serums and lotions to provide a lasting matte finish and a light, non-oily feel.
• Sun Care: Can be used in anhydrous sunscreen gels and sticks to improve water resistance and provide a light, comfortable texture.

Formulation Suggestions

A typical use level ranges from 5-95%, depending on the application. In long-wear foundations and lipsticks, it can be used as a primary component of the base. It is an excellent thickener and stabilizer for anhydrous and W/O emulsion systems. It helps to disperse pigments and reduces the tackiness of the formula. Its high volatility ensures a quick-drying and fresh feeling during application, helping to achieve a long-lasting and lightweight makeup finish with excellent oil control.
