Overview
Lauryl PEG-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone serves the main function of being an emulsifier.
This ingredient can produce water-in-silicone or water-in-oil emulsions with medium viscosity. The ability of an emulsifier to be able to mix both water with silicone and water with oil is unusual, which shows how powerful this ingredient is.
Another feature of lauryl PEG-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone is its ability to control viscosity. When used at levels beyond what is necessary to form the initial emulsion, the ingredient begins to function as a thickening agent. The thickening behavior occurs when the emulsifier continues to fill the space between the two phases of the emulsion.
