Product Description
Manta F1057 is a high-performance phenyl-substituted siloxane fluid, distinct for its high refractive index and unique solubility profile.
Unlike standard dimethicones, Manta F1057 features a molecular structure modified with phenyl groups. This modification imparts a brilliant, mirror-like gloss to formulations, making it a premier photonic enhancer for hair and skin. Crucially, it exhibits excellent compatibility with ethanol and organic sunscreens. It functions as a superior anti-whitening agent (anti-soaping) in creams and acts as a dry oil emollient, significantly reducing the tackiness and greasy residue of heavy organic ingredients.
- Acts as an excellent co-solvent for organic UV filters, enhancing SPF distribution and formula stability (Note: Does not act as a standalone UV filter);
- Imparts superior water resistance to formulations while remaining highly breathable and non-occlusive;
- Exhibits outstanding compatibility and miscibility with a wide range of cosmetic waxes, oils, and alcohols;
- Functions as a premium non-volatile emollient, delivering a smooth, soft, and distinctly non-greasy skin feel;
- Significantly boosts the refractive index, providing a brilliant, mirror-like gloss to both the formulation and the treated hair or skin.
Application Details
- Manta F1057 can be widely used in personal care products, including:
- Skin Care: Moisturizing lotions, facial creams, and shaving formulations;
- Sun Care: Sunscreens and after-sun products (improves UV filter solubility and reduces the soaping or white cast effect);
- Hair Care: Hair serums, glossing sprays, and conditioners;
- Color Cosmetics: Liquid foundations, lipsticks, and lip glosses.
- Emulsification: Can be easily emulsified using conventional cosmetic emulsifiers and standard processing techniques.
- Compatibility Profile: Highly miscible with ethanol (95%), isopropyl alcohol (99%), mineral oil, lanolin, paraffin waxes, beeswax, and esters like isopropyl myristate. Note: It exhibits poor compatibility with highly polar solvents such as glycerin.
- Recommended Dosage: 0.5% – 5.0% of the total formulation, depending on the desired level of gloss and emolliency.
