Silicone waxes are alkyl-modified dimethicone ingredients intended for personal care and cosmetic formulations that require controlled melting behavior, smooth spreading, lubricity, gloss, hydrophobicity, ingredient dispersion, or texture adjustment. The range covers liquid, paste, and solid grades with melting points from 15 °C to 68 °C. Available INCI names include Cetyl Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, C24-28 Alkyl Dimethicone, C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone, and PEG-17 Dimethicone.
Different alkyl chain lengths and functional groups allow formulators to adjust product structure, melting profile, skin adhesion, migration resistance, pigment or UV-filter dispersion, gloss, and after-feel. The grades are evaluated for sunscreens, lip products, color cosmetics, skincare, anhydrous systems, and compatible emulsified or foaming formulations.
INCI Name | Model No. | Appearance | Melting Point（℃） | Product Features and Applications |
Cetyl Dimethicone | 1-410 | Transparent to turbid liquid | 15 | Liquid silicone wax, has excellent compatibility with organic ingredients and superior dispersion of active components, which is perfectly suited for sunscreen products. |
Stearyl Dimethicone | 1-411 | White paste | 35 | It offers outstanding lubricity and gloss, excellent hydrophobic properties, good compatibility with organic ingredients, low greasiness, and strong color dispersion, making it ideal for sunscreen and lip products. |
C24-28 Alkyl Dimethicone | 1-412 | White flake solid | 52 | It offers outstanding lubricity and gloss, excellent hydrophobic properties, good compatibility with organic ingredients, strong adhesion, and a smooth and delicate product finish. |
C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone | 1-413 | White flake solid | 68 | It offers outstanding lubricity and gloss, excellent hydrophobic properties, good compatibility with organic ingredients, resistance to migration, and a smooth and delicate product finish. |
PEG-17 Dimethicone | 1-420 | Milky white paste | 33 | It has a low melting point, excellent wetting, spreading, softness and gloss properties, along with emulsifying capabilities, as well as moisturizing and foam-enhancing effects. |
The series spans three physical states: the liquid grade (1-410, 15 °C) remains fluid at room temperature, while paste grades (1-411 at 35 °C and 1-420 at 33 °C) soften readily in the oil phase. Flake solids (1-412 at 52 °C and 1-413 at 68 °C) require higher melt-in temperatures and build structure in stick and anhydrous formulations.
The alkyl-modified dimethicone backbone contributes lubricity, surface gloss, and hydrophobicity. Longer-chain grades (1-412, 1-413) provide stronger film structure and migration resistance, supporting wear in color and sun-care products.
Selected grades support dispersion of color pigments and oil-dispersible UV filters. Model 1-410 is described as well matched to sunscreen systems, while 1-411 supports color dispersion in lip and sunscreen products. SPF, UVA protection, and water-resistance performance must be verified through finished-product testing.
Model 1-420 (PEG-17 Dimethicone) is a lower-melting paste contributing wetting, spreading, softness, and emulsifying properties, with moisturizing after-feel and foam support in compatible systems.
Liquid and paste grades (1-410, 1-411) can be evaluated in oil-phase and emulsion sunscreens to improve spreadability, reduce greasiness, and support UV-filter dispersion.
1-411, 1-412, and 1-413 deliver gloss, lubricity, structure, and migration control in lipsticks, lip balms, and color cosmetics, where melting-point selection controls payoff and wear.
Flake grades build body and structure in anhydrous balms, butters, and sticks; 1-420 may be considered in compatible emulsified systems where wetting and emulsifying support are required.
Silicone waxes are supplied in 20 kg and 160 kg plastic drums, which should remain tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and consistency changes.
Store in original sealed packaging below 30 °C, away from sunlight, heat, and contamination; shelf life is 24 months from the production date.
The materials are classified as non-dangerous goods and may be transported under ordinary cargo conditions.
Five grades are listed: 1-410 (Cetyl Dimethicone), 1-411 (Stearyl Dimethicone), 1-412 (C24-28 Alkyl Dimethicone), 1-413 (C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone), and 1-420 (PEG-17 Dimethicone).
Select by formulation structure: 15 °C to 35 °C grades for fluids and soft pastes, and 52 °C to 68 °C flake grades for sticks and structured anhydrous products.
No. These are linear alkyl-modified dimethicone waxes with defined melting points, not crosslinked elastomer gels. Use the 1-4xx series numbers when requesting samples.
The grades support UV-filter dispersion and spreadability, but SPF, UVA protection, and water resistance must be confirmed by testing the finished sunscreen.
Keep sealed below 30 °C, away from sunlight and heat; the rated shelf life is 24 months from the production date.
