INCI Name:
Cyclopentasiloxane (and) PEG/PPG-19/19 Dimethicone
 
Introduction
Cyclopentasiloxane (and) PEG/PPG-19/19 Dimethicone is a silicone-based emulsifier and gelling agent designed for creating clear silicone gels, water-in-silicone (W/Si), and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.
It acts as a novel delivery system for both non-polar and polar ingredients, offering formulation flexibility and excellent sensory performance.
This material allows the development of soft to firm silicone gels with a clear, low-odor profile and can accommodate water levels up to 85%, making it ideal for a wide range of personal care formulations.
 
Applications
• Skin care products (creams, gels, and serums)
• Sun care formulations (SPF creams and lotions)
• Color cosmetics (foundations, primers, and BB creams)
• Anhydrous pigmented systems
• Clear silicone gels
• Water-in-oil and water-in-silicone emulsions
