BRB DM 0.65 is the shortest volatile linear silicone fluid (Hexamethyldisiloxane) with the fastest evaporation rate, the lowest viscosity and the lowest surface tension. Due to its low heat of vaporization, BRB DM 0.65 evaporates from the skin without producing a cooling or stinging effect.

INCI Name: Disiloxane

Functions: Anti-Foaming Agent, Carrier, Solvent

Labeling Claims: Clean at Sephora, Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty

Synonyms: Oxybis(silane), Siloxane

Recommended Uses

BRB DM 0.65 can be used as a delivery system in antiperspirant/deodorant formulations. It helps to uniformly spread actives and pigments over the surface of hair, skin and sun care. It is largely used in color-cosmetic formulations to improve rub-in properties, reducing stickiness, and imparting lubricity and a smooth skin feel and is recommended for nail polish products.

Usage Guidelines

BRB DM 0.65 may be used alone or blended with other cosmetic fluids to provide a fluid base for a variety of cosmetic ingredients. It features good solubility in most anhydrous alcohols and in many cosmetic solvents. Care should be taken when handling volatile fluids at temperatures 10°C below the quoted flash point.

Heat of Vaporization

The heat of vaporization in Table 1 is directly related to the amount of energy which is extracted from the surface of the skin and perceived as cooling as the substance is volatilized. As the volatile siloxanes evaporate they remove very little heat from the skin compared to alcohols or water avoiding this potentially undesirable cooling effect.
