AMODIMETHICONE GLYCEROCARBAMATE.

Valuable CAS - / EMULSION STABILISING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

A high-performance, ethylene oxide-free silicone emulsifier that excels at creating stable water-in-oil formulations while delivering superior pigment dispersion. This amino-functional silicone provides exceptional color stability in foundations and offers a protective, non-greasy film on skin.

Summary

Emulsion stabilizing Emollient Hair conditioning Pigment dispersion

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functions by reducing interfacial tension between water and oil phases to create stable W/O and water-in-silicone emulsions. The amino-functional groups along its amodimethicone backbone enable superior pigment wetting and dispersion while forming a breathable, protective barrier that enhances skin feel without greasiness.
