Question

What is the maximum oil percentage that LecithinGel™ can emulsify, and is it compatible with Caprylyl Methicone in a formula?

Answer

LecithinGel™ Emulsifying Capacity and Compatibility with Caprylyl Methicone

Based on the product information:

  1. Maximum Oil Percentage for LecithinGel™: LecithinGel™ can emulsify up to 20% oil in a formula.

  2. Compatibility with Caprylyl Methicone: Caprylyl Methicone is a type of silicone oil that is soluble in various oils and silicones. LecithinGel™ is a water-oil binder. While the description of LecithinGel™ specifically mentions emulsifying "oil", Caprylyl Methicone, being an oil-soluble silicone, can generally be incorporated into the oil phase of an emulsion. Therefore, LecithinGel™ should be able to help emulsify Caprylyl Methicone as part of the oil phase, within its maximum oil load capacity of 20%. For best results when incorporating Caprylyl Methicone, ensure it is fully dissolved in the oil phase before emulsifying with LecithinGel™.

Remember to follow the recommended usage rates for both ingredients for optimal formula stability and performance.
