- Recommended Uses
Water-in-oil Emulsifier for different cosmetic formulations.; Skin care products (lotions, gels, creams, serums); Sun care products (lotions, gels, sprays, self-tanners); Anti-aging products; Anhydrous emulsions; Color cosmetics (foundations, mascaras); Hair styling (cuticle coats, pomades, gels); Antiperspirants and deodorants
- Usage Guidelines
Combine separately the oil phase and water phase and add the water phase to the oil phase slowly using. Mix with a high turbulence mechanical mixer at high speed. Continue mixing for 10-30 minutes to narrow or eliminate bimodal particle size distribution and homogenize, if necessary.; Combine BRB 6373 with the rest of the silicone phase. Addition of 1-2% of electrolyte (preferably NaCl) in the water phase is very important to ensure stability. Slowly incorporate water phase into silicone phase. Once emulsion is created, proceed to stir intensively.; Increasing the water content will boost final viscosity.; BRB 6373 is not water soluble. BRB 6373 is soluble with isododecane, ethanol, some vegetable oils and esters and silicones.
