Product Description

Manta W341 is a cosmetic-grade, oil-soluble silicone fluid. It is an alkyl-modified silicone that bridges the gap between silicones and organic oils.

Unlike traditional volatile silicones, Manta W341 is non-volatile and provides excellent substantivity (adhesion) to the skin and hair. It forms a breathable protective film that enhances gloss and locks in moisture. It offers a unique sensory profile: rich, oily, yet soft and silky, making it ideal for formulations requiring long-lasting moisturization and emolliency.

Features

  1. Sensory Experience: Provides a soft, silky, and rich oily feel (lubricious) without being heavy;
  2. Film-Forming & Gloss: Forms a protective film on the skin/hair surface, significantly improving brightness and gloss;
  3. Moisturizing: Excellent occlusion properties help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL);
  4. Adhesion: Good substantivity; stays on the skin and hair well (Good skin adhesion);
  5. Solubility: Oil-soluble; compatible with many organic oils and silicones.

 


Application Details
