Product Description

Manta F10161 is an ultra-high molecular weight Dimethicone Gum precisely dispersed in a volatile Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) carrier.

Designed as a premier sensory modifier, this product utilizes the volatile carrier to deliver the high-viscosity gum evenly across the skin or hair surface. Upon application, the carrier provides excellent spreadability before evaporating at a controlled rate (moderate volatility), depositing a continuous, breathable, and hydrophobic film. This results in a sophisticated velvety-soft texture and a non-greasy, satin finish that significantly enhances the perceived value of formulations.

Features

Imparts a velvety and silky skin feel;

Provides exceptional gloss and superior sensory properties;

Forms a soft, breathable silicone protective film;

Enhances the substantivity and long-lasting effects of active ingredients on the skin;

Reduces friction to improve slip and significantly boosts water resistance;

Exhibits excellent hydrophobicity.


Application Details

Manta F10161 can be used in personal care formulations, including:

Hair Care: Hair serums, conditioning oils (provides shine and smooths split ends), and styling aids;

Skin Care: Facial creams, body lotions, and anti-aging serums;

Sun Care: Sunscreens and after-sun products (improves water resistance);

Color Cosmetics: Liquid foundations and makeup primers.

 

How to Use

Temperature Control: Due to the volatility of the cyclopentasiloxane carrier, it is highly recommended to process Manta F10161 at room temperature or below 50°C.

Processing: If the oil phase requires melting, cool the batch to 50°C or lower before slowly adding this product under continuous stirring. Add any remaining heat-sensitive ingredients afterward.

Compatibility & Dilution: Demonstrates good compatibility with oil-phase cosmetic ingredients such as pigments, natural oils, and fragrances. If lower viscosity is desired, it can be further diluted with volatile silicones (e.g., cyclomethicone).

Recommended Dosage: 3.0% – 8.0% in standard hair care and skin care products; 40.0% – 50.0% in concentrated hair serums/oils.
