Description

Bis-(Polyglyceryl-7 Oxyphenylpropyl) Dimethicone is a silicone-based compound formed by the reaction of dimethicone with polyglyceryl-7 and oxyphenylpropyl groups. this compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and stabilizing properties, making it useful in various cosmetic and personal care applications.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE

chemically, bis-(polyglyceryl-7 oxyphenylpropyl) dimethicone consists of a dimethicone backbone modified with polyglyceryl-7 and oxyphenylpropyl groups. this structure imparts the compound with unique characteristics of both silicones and polyols, enhancing its functionality in formulations.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance: generally a clear to slightly hazy liquid.
Odor: characteristic mild odor.
Solubility: dispersible in oils and some organic solvents; not soluble in water.
Density: varies based on specific formulation and concentration.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Preparation of Dimethicone: dimethicone is synthesized through the polymerization of dimethylsiloxane.
Modification with Polyglyceryl-7 and Oxyphenylpropyl: the dimethicone backbone is reacted with polyglyceryl-7 and oxyphenylpropyl groups under controlled conditions to form the final compound.
Filtration and Purification: the resulting product is filtered and purified to remove impurities and achieve a high-quality compound.
Packaging and Storage: the final product is packaged and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its properties.

APPLICATIONS

Medical: used in topical formulations for its conditioning and stabilizing properties, enhancing skin feel and product performance.

Others: used as a stabilizer and performance enhancer in various personal care formulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Biodegradability: as a silicone-based compound, biodegradability may be limited; however, it is generally considered to be stable and safe for use.
Toxicity: generally considered non-toxic and safe for use in personal care products. it is essential to ensure that the product is free from contaminants and complies with regulatory standards.
Allergenicity: as with all chemical compounds, individual reactions of intolerance or allergy cannot be excluded.

INCI


Hair conditioning agent. A significant number of ingredients with specific and targeted purposes may co-exist in hair shampoo formulations: cleansers, conditioners, thickeners, matting agents, sequestering agents, fragrances, preservatives, special additives. However, the indispensable ingredients are the cleansers and conditioners as they are necessary and sufficient for hair cleansing and manageability. The others act as commercial and non-essential auxiliaries such as: appearance, fragrance, colouring, etc. Hair conditioning agents have the task of increasing shine, manageability and volume, and reducing static electricity, especially after treatments such as colouring, ironing, waving, drying and brushing. They are, in practice, dispersants that may contain cationic surfactants, thickeners, emollients, polymers. The typology of hair conditioning agents includes: intensive conditioners, instant conditioners, thickening conditioners, drying conditioners. They can perform their task generally accompanied by other different ingredients.

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
