- Recommended Uses
The unique volatility and excellent spreading of BRB DM 1 makes it an appreciated ingredient in various Personal Care applications such as Skin Care, deodorants & antiperspirants, Sun care, Hair Care and Color Cosmetics. Due to its low heat of vaporization BRB DM 1 does not cool the skin when it evaporates as other volatile carriers do.
- Usage Guidelines
BRB DM 1 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.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Volatility Profile
- 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.

Safety & Health
- Toxicological information
BRB Dimethicone has been the subject of extensive toxicological studies. The oil is non-toxic and non-irritating. A temporary discomfort to the eyes may occur due to the hydrophable properties. The oil is approved as a food additive and/or for use in food contact in most countries of the world. Amongst others main US.FDA regulations concerned are:
173.340 (formexy 121.1099), 175.105 (121.2520), 175.300(121.2514), 167.170 (121.2526), 176.180 (121.2571), 167.200 (121.2557), 176.210 (121.2519), 177.1210 (121.2550), 177.2280 (121.2500), 178.3570 (121.2553), 178.3910 (121.2531), 181.28 (121.2001).
Please be advised that BRB Dimethicone are dimethylpolysiloxanes, and are listed under that terminology in a number of FDA regulations.
