Emulsifiers and Thickeners for Dimethicone in Lotion
คำถาม
What emulsifiers and thickeners are used in Jergens lotion to incorporate Dimethicone? Specifically, what is the function of ingredients like Laureth-3, Ceteareth-20, Carbomer, and Lecithin in this context? For a DIY formulation, can a single ingredient like Luxury Cream Maker be used to effectively incorporate Dimethicone?
คำตอบ
Based on the ingredients listed and the information available, the emulsifiers and thickeners likely used in the Jergens lotion to help incorporate Dimethicone are:
- Laureth-3
- Ceteareth-20
- Lecithin
- Carbomer (acts as a gelling agent and thickener, which helps stabilize the emulsion)
These ingredients work together to create a stable emulsion that allows the silicone oil (Dimethicone) to be dispersed within the water-based lotion formula, even without a dedicated "silicone emulsifier".
For making your own formulation, a simpler option like Luxury Cream Maker can be used at 3-5%. This single ingredient acts as both an emulsifier and thickener and is capable of bonding with silicone oils like Dimethicone.
