ROMAKK RCCE-SEP-85 | Anionic silicone emulsion for Shampoos and Conditioners

Posted on: May 30, 2024

Anionic silicone emulsion containing Dimethiconol and TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate are commonly used in personal care products due to their unique properties and functionality.

Dimethiconol:

Dimethiconol is a silicone-based compound that belongs to the class of polymeric silicone polyols. It is a linear polymer with alternating siloxane (Si-O) and methylene (-CH2-) units, and it typically has one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups at the end of the polymer chain. Dimethiconol is known for its emollient, conditioning, and spreadability properties, making it an ideal ingredient for personal care products.

TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate:

TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate is an anionic surfactant, where TEA stands for triethanolamine. It is derived from dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid and triethanolamine. This surfactant is an excellent emulsifier and is widely used in the formulation of emulsions, particularly in the personal care industry.

Anionic Silicone Emulsion:

An anionic silicone emulsion is a water-based emulsion system where the silicone compound (in this case, Dimethiconol) is dispersed in water using an anionic surfactant (TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate) as the emulsifier. This emulsion system combines the beneficial properties of both Dimethiconol and the anionic surfactant, making it suitable for various personal care applications.

Applications in Personal Care Products:

Hair Care Products: Anionic silicone emulsions are widely used in shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments. They impart smoothness, softness, and manageability to hair while improving combability and reducing static charge.

Skin Care Products: These emulsions are incorporated into lotions, creams, and moisturizers to provide a silky, non-greasy feel and improve spreadability. They also act as emollients, softening and conditioning the skin.

Sunscreens and Sun Care Products: The emulsion system can be used in sunscreen formulations to enhance water resistance, improve spreadability, and provide a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin.

Color Cosmetics: Anionic silicone emulsions are used in foundations, mascaras, and other color cosmetic products to improve application, enhance spreadability, and provide a silky, smooth finish.

Bath and Shower Products: These emulsions can be incorporated into body washes, bath gels, and other cleansing products to provide a luxurious, creamy lather and impart a soft, smooth feel to the skin after rinsing.

The anionic silicone emulsion of Dimethiconol and TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate offers a unique combination of silicone conditioning, emolliency, and emulsification properties, making it a versatile ingredient in various personal care formulations.

The key ingredients in ROMAKK RCCE-SEP-85 are dimethiconol and TEA-dodecylbenzenesulfonate. When added to shampoos, conditioners, styling products, and body washes, this emulsion can provide several benefits:

1. Makes hair feel slippery and soft
2. Improves wet combing
3. Improves dry combing after hair is dried
4. Doesn’t affect the amount of foam/lather in shampoos

ROMAKK RCCE-SEP-85 is especially good for adding to 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner products. Companies can use between 2-4% of this ingredient in their formulas.

By using ROMAKK RCCE-SEP-85, companies can make better hair care products that leave your hair smoother, softer, and less tangled. This special silicone emulsion gives a luxurious feel while still allowing shampoos to foam up nicely.
