Product Description

INCI: Caprylyl Methicone

ALOS-SILI-149 is a silicone fluid designed for personal care applications. It features low viscosity, low surface tension, excellent spreadability, and moderate volatility. While insoluble in water, it is compatible with ethanol, toluene, and most organic oils, serving as an effective solubilizer for both silicone and hydrocarbon oils. As a lipid-soluble spreading agent, ALOS-SILI-149 is widely used in personal care products due to its superior spreading capability, which enhances product absorption by the skin, increases gloss and smoothness, and reduces stickiness and greasiness.
