Ingredients for Clear and Viscous Water-in-Oil Emulsions

Based on the search results, here are some ingredients that can help emulsify water and oil to achieve a clear and viscous texture:

• Aristoflex AVC

  • A semi-solid gel-forming agent that provides a clear gel texture in water formulas and can bind approximately 15-20% oil.
  • Usage: Used as a cream binder (emulsifier) or a gel-forming agent.
  • Mixing Method: Soluble in water.
  • Usage Rate: 0.1-2.0% depending on the desired viscosity and oil proportion.
  • Characteristics: White powder.
  • INCI Name: Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

• SiliClear™ WO-Cyclopentasiloxane (Water-in-Oil Clear Emulsion Base)

  • A clear Water-in-Oil emulsion base developed to be a clear, highly stable emulsion that provides a soft and smooth feel without the stickiness of typical gel bases.
  • Contains approximately 10% Silicone Cyclopentasiloxane.
  • Water-soluble or oil-soluble ingredients can be added, but large amounts may cause turbidity, which can often be corrected by adding water and mixing.
  • Usage: Used as a base for products requiring softness, smoothness, and clarity.
  • Mixing Method: Use as a finished base (requires FDA registration).
  • Usage Rate: 90-100%.
  • Characteristics: Clear viscous liquid.
  • INCI Name: Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-7, DMDM Hydantoin

• SiliClear™ OW-Cyclopentasiloxane (Oil-in-Water Clear Emulsion Base)

  • A clear Oil-in-Water emulsion base developed to be a clear, highly stable emulsion that provides a soft and smooth feel without the stickiness of typical gel bases.
  • Contains approximately 10% Silicone Cyclopentasiloxane.
  • Water-soluble or oil-soluble ingredients can be added. If turbidity occurs with large additions, clarity can be adjusted by adding water or DMI and mixing.
  • Viscosity can be adjusted by adding a small amount of SEPGEL 305 (e.g., 0.1%) while maintaining clarity.
  • Usage: Used as a base for products requiring softness, smoothness, and clarity.
  • Mixing Method: Use as a finished base (requires FDA registration).
  • Usage Rate: 90-100%.
  • Characteristics: Clear semi-gel liquid.
  • INCI Name: Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Sodium Polyacrylate (and) Polyisobutene , DMDM Hydantoin

Choosing the right ingredient depends on the specific formulation type, the proportion of oil to be emulsified, and the desired texture and clarity.
