 Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of organic solvents and other silicone fluids.

 Non-Greasy:Provides transient lubrication without the oily buildup associated with non-volatile oils.

Applications

 Skin Care: Creams, lotions, and facial cleansers.

 Color Cosmetics: Foundations, lipsticks, and eye makeup.

 Hair Care: Conditioners, styling gels, and hair serums.

 Antiperspirants & Deodorants: Provides a dry-feel and smooth application.

Formulation Guide:

NV-PC301 is typically added to the oil phase of a formulation.

In cold-process emulsions, it can be added directly.

For hot-process emulsions, it should be added at the end of the cooling phase (below 50°C) to minimize evaporation losses.

Recommended Usage Level:

Skin Care Products: 1% – 10%

Hair Care Products: 1% – 5%

Color Cosmetics: 5% – 30%

Antiperspirants: 30% – 60%

Handling & Precautions

Ensure adequate ventilation during use as the material is volatile.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
