Answer
Emulsifier for Water and Dimethicone 1Secs
To combine water and Dimethicone 1Secs, which is a silicone oil, you need an emulsifier suitable for creating a water-in-silicone (W/Si) emulsion.
Based on the product descriptions:
- Oil-Fix™ S is specifically designed as a thickening/gelling agent in silicone or mineral oil and is recommended for water-in-silicone formulas.
- Oil-Fix™ W is designed to increase the stability of water-in-oil or water-in-silica cream formulas and can also thicken silicone oil. It has the added benefit of increasing waterproof performance.
For creating a standard water-in-silicone emulsion with Dimethicone 1Secs, Oil-Fix™ S is the more directly recommended option as it is specifically for water-in-silicone systems. Oil-Fix™ W can also work with silicone oil and is suitable if you require enhanced waterproof properties in your formulation.
