Iso-Dimethicone Copolymer is a silicone-based polymer that combines the properties of dimethicone with other functional groups. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is often used in cosmetic formulations for its unique texture and performance characteristics. This copolymer is known for its ability to provide a smooth, silky feel on the skin and hair, making it a popular ingredient in various personal care products.

Add to oil phase of formulas or after formulation is completed. If iso-dimethicone copolymer needs to be mixed with other silicones, it is best to mix it with dimethicone FLUID, cyclomethicone or isododecane.
Important: The liquid silicone should be added to the iso-dimethicone copolymer only gradually under constant stirring by hand (a homogenizer or stick blender should not be used). Otherwise, the iso-dimethicone copolymer may bead out.
Also, if iso-dimethicone copolymer needs to mixed with plant oils, it is best to disperse it first with cyclomethicone before stirring in plant oils.
