DIMETHICONE PEG-10 PHOSPHATE.

Valuable CAS 132207-31-9 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

DIMETHICONE PEG-10 PHOSPHATE is a versatile silicone-based ingredient primarily functioning as an emulsifier and surfactant. It facilitates the stable blending of oil and water phases, while also contributing to skin conditioning by forming a protective, breathable film.

Summary

emulsifying surfactant cleansing

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by lowering the surface tension between immiscible liquids, enabling the creation of stable emulsions. When applied to the skin, it forms a lightweight, vapor-permeable film that aids in skin conditioning, enhances lubrication, offers protection, and helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, imparting a smooth and non-greasy sensation.
