Product description

Caprylyl Methicone

Caprylyl methicone is a synthetic silicone polymer mainly used in cosmetics. It is a clear, colorless liquid with low viscosity and volatile nature. It has excellent spreadability and gives a light, silky and smooth feeling on the skin.

Chemical formula

The chemical formula of caprylyl methicone is C₁₅H₃₈O₂Si₃ .

Main application

Caprylyl methicone is primarily used in skin and hair care products. It helps hydrate the skin and provides a permeable barrier that helps prevent moisture loss. It is used in products such as:

  • Skin care products : moisturizers, anti-aging creams, face masks, hand creams, etc.

  • Hair care products : hair serum, shampoos, conditioners, etc.

It is compatible with other silicones and natural vegetable oils, making it ideal for forming products with a non-greasy and non-clumpy texture

Caprylyl Methicone can be used as a carrier and dispersing medium for powders and pigments. It has a wide range of personal care applications such as skin care and sun care products, color cosmetics or leave-on Hair Care applications.

Caprylyl Methicone Properties in Cosmetics

  • Soft, supple, silky light feel
  • Excellent spreadability
  • Gives shine
  • Reduces stickiness, greasiness and tackiness
  • Enhances the sensory properties of natural ingredients
  • Moderate volatility

Performance:

  • Good compatibility with oils and waxes
  • Pigment Distributor
  • Keeps the skin hydrated without a occlusive effect
  • Reduces surface tension of organic oils
  • Excellent distribution of UV filters: SPF booster
  • Moderate volatility.

Benefits:

  • Improve spreadability and provide smooth silky light feel
  • Reduce tackiness, greasiness and stickiness
  • Enhance sensory of natural ingredients
