Silsense® SW-12 Silicone is a water-soluble liquid wax, dimethicone copolyol ester, that is formed through the esterification of coconut fatty acid with dimethicone copolyol. SilSense SW-12 silicone is an easy-to-formulate product that may be used to impart the conditioning benefits of silicone to personal care products without contributing to the greasiness or buildup that is normally associated with water-insoluble silicone fluids. It is recommended for use in hair and skin products, including creams, body lotions, after-shave balms and gels, shampoos, and conditioners.
