Product Description
Manta F1016A consists of ultra-high molecular weight Polydimethylsiloxane (Silicone Gum) dispersed in a synergistic carrier system of volatile Cyclomethicone and low-viscosity Dimethicone.
This hybrid carrier design allows for a balanced evaporation profile: the volatile components facilitate excellent spreadability and flash-off, while the low-viscosity fluid ensures residual lubricity. Upon application, Manta F1016A deposits a substantive, hydrophobic film that smooths the hair cuticle and skin surface, delivering a premium velvety texture without the heavy greasiness typically associated with vegetable oils.
- Imparts a luxurious, velvety, and silky sensory profile to both skin and hair.
- Provides exceptional gloss and superior light-reflective properties.
- Forms a soft, breathable, and substantive silicone protective film.
- Enhances the substantivity and longevity of other active ingredients on the skin.
- Significantly reduces surface friction (improves slip) while maintaining high water resistance.
- Exhibits excellent hydrophobicity, effectively protecting hair from humidity and frizz.
Application Details
- Manta F1016A is an additive for a variety of personal care applications, including:
- Hair Care: Split-end repair serums, anti-frizz leave-in conditioners, and styling aids.
- Skin Care: Facial moisturizers, protective barrier creams, and body lotions.
- Color Cosmetics: Makeup primers, liquid foundations, and long-wear concealers.
- Sun Care: Water-resistant sunscreens and after-sun formulations.
- Temperature Control: Due to the presence of volatile cyclomethicone, it is highly recommended to process Manta F1016A at room temperature or below 50°C. If the oil phase requires melting, cool the batch to 50°C before adding this product under continuous stirring.
- Compatibility & Dilution: Exhibits excellent compatibility with oil-phase cosmetic materials such as pigments, natural lipids, and fragrances. It can be further diluted with volatile silicones to reduce viscosity.
- Direct Application: After adjusting the viscosity with cyclomethicones, the product can be used directly as a high-end hair serum to condition, hydrate, and restore dry or weakened hair, leaving it bright, smooth, and silky.
- Recommended Dosage: 3.0% – 8.0% in standard hair and skin care products; 40.0% – 50.0% in concentrated hair serums or hair oil formulations.
