Lotioncrafter EL_DM
Lotioncrafter EL_DM is our latest silicone elastomer offering. Gliding on effortlessly to a light, long-lasting silky finish with no residue, EL_DM delivers a consumer-perceivable enhanced sensory benefit. EL_DM is a non-emulsifying silicone copolymer network dispersed in dimethicone that yields clear to translucent gels.
Lotioncrafter EL_DM exhibits shear thinning behaviour, resulting in products that spread easily during application. It is stable in a broad range of pH, giving the ability to formulate products with a low or high pH. It is a suitable addition for clear gel products. It is an effective thickener for anhydrous products and exhibits thickening efficiency for many commonly used oils and esters.
