Andisil SF 5405 improves the substantivity of other actives, under both water soaking and soap washing regimes. It is therefore possible to incorporate Andisil® SF 5405 Fluid into skin care products to provide a water repellent, durable film. These actives may include sun screens, emollients and moisturizers. Andisil® SF 5405 Fluid can also be used to prepare water resistant or waterproof sunscreen lotions with exceptional spreading characteristics.

Formulation Guidelines

Emulsion Products
1. Andisil® SF 5405 can be incorporated directly into the oil phase of the formulation.
2. If temperatures above 60°C (140°F) are being used to melt the oil phase, Andisil® SF 5405 should be added slowly after the formation of the emulsion, and below 50°C (122°F), using a high shear mixer.


Non-Emulsion Products
It is advisable to add cosmetic ingredients to the silicone and not vice versa as often ultra highmolecular weight dimethiconol is incompatible with other cosmetic ingredients.
