Product Description
Manta F1048 is a volatile carrier fluid composed of Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) and Cyclohexasiloxane (D6).
Unlike lighter volatile blends, Manta F1048 is engineered to provide an extended evaporation profile. The inclusion of the larger Cyclohexasiloxane molecule slows down the volatilization process, granting the formulation a longer working time. This allows for extended spreading and massaging of creams and oils before the product dries down. It delivers a substantive, silky-soft skin feel that is richer than pure D5 but without the greasiness or occlusion of non-volatile dimethicones.
- Composed of a highly refined cyclosiloxane blend (D5/D6) featuring a tailored, extended evaporation profile.
- Exhibits outstanding compatibility and miscibility with a wide range of organic cosmetic solvents and esters.
- Imparts a dry, non-greasy sensory feel while providing excellent conditioning properties.
- Ensures effortless spreadability and provides an extended “play time” for formulation application and blending.
Application Details
- Skin Care: Facial creams, massage creams, and body lotions (provides extended massage time without dragging).
- Sun Care: Sunscreens and after-sun products (improves the even distribution of active UV filters).
- Color Cosmetics: Liquid foundations and concealers (ensures seamless blending and a smooth finish without drying too quickly).
- Personal Care & Hair Care: Antiperspirants, deodorants, and hair conditioning serums.
- Processing: Can be used directly as a primary carrier, co-solvent, or sensory additive.
- Emulsification: When formulating aqueous systems (O/W or W/O emulsions), Manta F1048 must be incorporated into the oil phase prior to emulsification.
- Recommended Dosage: 1.0% – 20.0% of the total formulation, depending on the desired spreadability and evaporation rate.
