Silube® 316 is a unique multi-hydroxyl functional silicone which acts as a medium HLB emulsifier. Silube 316 has no ethoxylated components and is a PEG-free, water-insoluble, alcohol soluble and hydro alcoholic soluble silicone that stabilizes water in oil (W/O) and water in silicone (W/Si) emulsions while also providing novel features and textures to the emulsions. Silube 316 provides a unique light skin feel especially in color cosmetics and is effective in difficult systems like sunscreens, make ups and complex emulsion systems. Silube 316 is compatible with most cosmetic ingredients, but also with special ingredients such as electrolytes, UV filters, pigments/colors, powders, and various active ingredients.
