Shin-Etsu Silicone Selection Guide for Cosmetics

Silicone Branched Type

This is a silicone with a polyether chain added. It has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts, so it can be used as a surfactant or powder dispersant. The hydrophobic part of the silicone branched type has a structure with silicone branches on the silicone main chain, making it useful as a W/O emulsifier for emulsified preparations mainly containing silicone fluids.
