C24-28 Alkyldimethylsiloxy Trimethylsiloxysilicate
What C24-28 Alkyldimethylsiloxy Trimethylsiloxysilicate is & what it does
C24-28 Alkyldimethylsiloxy Trimethylsiloxysilicate is a long-chain alkyl-modified silicone resin. In formulas it acts as a film former and texture agent, helping to build water-resistant, long-wearing films that improve durability of sunscreens and color cosmetics. The C24-28 alkyl chains make it more compatible with oils and waxes than standard silicone resins. It is typically used to enhance wear, transfer resistance, and a smooth surface feel.
