Recommended Uses: Silwax®WS-L is an excellent water-soluble lubricant. Provides good conditioning and gloss to hair. Silwax®WS-L is soluble in both water and propylene glycol. Because Silwax®WS-L is non-ionic it is compatible with a wide range of surfactants. When incorporated into clear deodorant sticks it allows the formulator to reduce the volatile silicones used, as well as allowing the formulation of an aqueous stick. Reduces tack and soapy feel of the stick. Silwax®WS-L are added to shampoos to give a unique silicone feel without the traditional build-up of oily conditioners. Helps in reducing tack and stickiness in creams and lotions.
