SILWAX®CR-5016 is from a family of patent pending liquid cross-linked alkylated silicones. The alkyl pendant groups make it more compatible with organic systems. The crosslinking provides softness and unique esthetics to personal care products, most notably skin care products. SILWAX®CR-5016 provides excellent lubricity, gloss and emolliency properties in personal care formulations. A key benefit for skin care is the outstanding cushion and play time, while still being non-greasy. For hair care products it provides lubrication and outstanding wet comb without build up. Recommended usage levels are between 1.0 – 3.0 wt% of the total formulation.
