Q1: What is the primary function of Dow Corning 9702 in cosmetic and personal care formulations?
A: Dow Corning 9702 is a free-flowing, dry silicone elastomer powder designed to provide sensory enhancement—such as silky slip, soft-focus effect, and oil absorption—in leave-on and rinse-off products. It functions as a multifunctional texturizer and skin-feel modifier without requiring solvent dispersion.
Q2: How is Dow Corning 9702 typically incorporated into formulations?
A: It is generally added during the final dry-blend stage of powder-based systems (e.g., pressed powders, loose powders) or dispersed directly into anhydrous or low-water-content bases. Due to its hydrophobic nature and free-flowing character, it does not require pre-wetting or high-shear processing in most cases.
Q3: Is Dow Corning 9702 compatible with common cosmetic actives and pigments?
A: Yes—it demonstrates broad compatibility with typical cosmetic ingredients including metal oxide pigments (e.g., titanium dioxide, iron oxides), organic dyes, emollients, and common polymer thickeners. Its inert silicone backbone minimizes reactivity and supports stable physical blends.
Q4: Can Dow Corning 9702 be used in water-based emulsions?
A: While inherently hydrophobic, it can be successfully incorporated into aqueous systems using appropriate dispersion techniques—such as high-shear mixing or pre-blending with co-emulsifiers—but performance may vary depending on phase continuity and formulation pH. Testing for uniform distribution and stability is recommended.
