Question

Can Dimethicone 1Secs be used to replace Bubble Max for generating automatic foam in a formulation? If so, what is the recommended usage percentage and at which step should it be added?

Answer

Dimethicone 1Secs cannot be used to replace Bubble Max for creating automatic foam.

  • Dimethicone 1Secs is a very light, volatile silicone oil primarily used to provide a soft, smooth, lightweight, non-greasy feel on the skin. It does not have foaming properties.
  • Bubble Max is an ingredient specifically designed to create foam or bubbles in formulations, with different types available such as Bubble Max X for quick-burst bubbles or Bubble Max LT for long-lasting bubbles.

Therefore, Dimethicone 1Secs cannot perform the function of creating foam like Bubble Max. The use of Dimethicone 1Secs focuses on improving the texture and feel of the product.
