Manta E1035 Lauryl Dimethicone

Manta E1035 is a specialized alkyl-modified, branched silicone emulsifier. It is Alkyl polyether polydimethylsiloxane. Unlike standard linear silicones, its unique branched structure and the addition of a Lauryl (C12) alkyl chain provide superior compatibility with silicone oils, organic oils, and esters.

It is designed for formulating stable Water-in-Oil (W/O) and Water-in-Silicone (W/Si) emulsions. It demonstrates excellent dispersion capabilities for powders and pigments, making it ideal for formulations with high powder content or high levels of organic UV absorbers. Additionally, low-emulsifier/high-water content formulas using Manta E1035 can achieve a unique “water release” (water-drop) effect.

Similar to Shin-Etsu KF-6038.

Properties

• Excellent Emulsification: Strong capability for both W/Si and W/O systems;
• Broad Compatibility: Good compatibility with silicone oils, organic oils, and esters due to the lipophilic alkyl chain;
• Sensory Profile: Imparts a soft, silky, and non-sticky skin feel to the final product;
• Process Efficiency: Easy to emulsify; supports cold processing (room temperature operation) if all raw materials are liquid;
• Powder Dispersion: Excellent ability to disperse powders and pigments.

Manta E1035 is widely used in personal care products, including:

1. Makeup: Cushion compacts, BB/CC creams, Liquid foundations, Hydrogel foundations.
2. Skin Care: W/O creams and lotions, “Water-drop” or “Water-burst” creams.
3. Sun Care: Sunscreen lotions and fluids (especially those with high organic filters).

How to use

Process:

Mix the oil and emulsifier evenly first;

Under rapid stirring, slowly add the water phase into the oil phase in portions;

Stir quickly and evenly until emulsified;

Stability Tips:

Increasing the stirring speed can improve the stability of the emulsion system.

Adding antifreeze agents (e.g., propylene glycol, glycerin) improves freeze-thaw stability.

Increasing the proportion of the water phase will increase the viscosity of the system.

Cold Processing: If all raw materials are liquid, they can be emulsified at room temperature without homogenization; a stable emulsion can be obtained simply by rapid stirring.

Recommended Dosage:

As Main Emulsifier: 1.0% – 5.0%

As Co-emulsifier: 0.1% – 1.5%
