What It Does Dimethicone 1000 improves the sensory profile of cosmetic formulations by adding smoothness, glide, and a soft protective feel. Its higher viscosity provides more cushion and conditioning compared to lighter silicone fluids, making it useful in formulas that need a richer, more polished finish. Key Benefits Improves slip and spreadability. Helps reduce tackiness in lotions, creams, and serums. Creates a smooth, silky skin feel. Adds softness and shine in haircare products. Helps form a lightweight protective barrier on skin and hair. Supports a more premium finish in cosmetic formulas. Typical Use Levels 0.5–2% — Light slip and sensory improvement 2–5% — Balanced skin feel and conditioning 5–15% — Richer smoothing, protection, and cushion How to Incorporate Add to the oil phase of emulsions. Blend into anhydrous oils, balms, and silicone-based systems. Can be combined with lighter silicones or esters to adjust feel and spreadability. Formulation Notes Compatible with many cosmetic oils, esters, waxes, and silicone fluids. Useful when a formula feels sticky, draggy, or too wet on application. Higher viscosity gives more cushion than low-viscosity dimethicone grades. Can help improve combing, softness, and shine in haircare formulations. Common Applications Creams and lotions Primers and makeup products Hair serums and conditioners Body care formulations Balms and anhydrous products Silicone-based blends Best used when a formula needs more glide, less tack, and a smoother finish. Basically, making products feel less like paste. A noble human quest. Documents Certificate of Analysis (COA) Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Storage Store in a tightly sealed container.
