Usage Guidelines

We recommend applying 0.1 - 5% of BRB 526 for rinse off shampoo and conditioners in order to obtain conditioning effect. For leave on treatments, optimal dosage would be 0.1-2%. For conditioning skin products, we recommend using 0.1-3% of BRB 526. If willing to use BRB 526 as main emulsifier to provide silky sensory Si/W emulsions, we recommend using 4% of BRB 526 into aqueous phase.

BRB 526 is compatible with hydro-alcoholic systems and incompatible with waxes, mineral oils and medium viscosity dimethicones.
