DOWSIL™ FZ-2233

INCI: Bis-Isobutyl PEG/PPG-10/7/Dimethicone Copolymer

Overview

Its primary function is to produce water-in-silicone and water-in-silicone and oil emulsions with a creamy and rich appearance but leaving a light, non- greasy after feel on the skin. The addition level can be as low as 1% leaving a lot of flexibility for the oil phase composition. The emulsions have also a small particle size resulting in highly stable emulsions at elevated temperatures but also through several freeze thaw cycles. It also allows the incorporation into the water phase of humectants and high level of AP salts. In addition to its emulsifying properties, Dow Corning® FZ-2233 also helps to disperse pigments such as mica and zinc oxide into silicone carriers. It can also be formulated into clear shampoo and shower gels.
