- Recommended Uses
Water-in-oil Emulsifier for different cosmetic formulations.
- Skin care products (lotions, gels, creams, serums)
- Sun care products (lotions, gels, sprays, self-tanners)
- Anti-aging products
- Anhydrous emulsions
- Color cosmetics (foundations, mascaras)
- Hair styling (cuticle coats, pomades, gels)
- Antiperspirants and deodorants
- Usage Guidelines
Combine separately the oil phase and water phase and add the water phase to the oil phase slowly using. Mix with a high turbulence mechanical mixer at high speed. Continue mixing for 10-30 minutes to narrow or eliminate bimodal particle size distribution and homogenize, if necessary.
Combine BRB 6373 with the rest of the silicone phase. Addition of 1-2% of electrolyte (preferably NaCl) in the water phase is very important to ensure stability. Slowly incorporate water phase into silicone phase. Once emulsion is created, proceed to stir intensively.
Increasing the water content will boost final viscosity.
BRB 6373 is not water soluble. BRB 6373 is soluble with isododecane, ethanol, some vegetable oils and esters and silicones.
