PEG-12 Dimethicone BRB 526

BRB 526 is a silicone copolymer, which is soluble in water, alcohol and hydroalcoholic systems.

This PEG-12 Dimethicone can be used in an extensive cosmetic range of products. Examples include: shampoos, rinse-off conditioners, hair treatment products, sprays, skin creams and lubricants, anti-transparency deodorants, shaving products and sunscreen products.

This product lowers the surface tension, increases the foaming effect, helps with wetting/flowing of products over a surface and it is used as an emulsifier for silicone-water emulsions.

up effect. The hair is easily manageable with volume. BRB 526 also helps with construction
foam.
✔ In skin creams and lotions, BRB 526 can be used as a humectant to provide light
silky-smooth sensory feel and also acts as an anti-stick agent and soothing enhancer.

Processing

We recommend using 0.1 - 5% BRB 526 for rinse-off shampoo and conditioners to achieve a good conditioning effect. For non-rinseable treatments, the optimal dosage would be 0.1-2%.
For caring skin products we recommend using 0.1-3% BRB 526.
When using BRB 526 as an emulsifier, to obtain silky smooth Si/W sensory emulsions,
we recommend using 4% BRB 526 in the water phase.
BRB 526 is compatible with hydro-alcoholic systems and not compatible with wax, mineral
medium viscosity oils and dimethicones.
