Silicone Ingredients for Soap for Smooth Skin Feel

For soap that aims to leave the skin feeling smooth, slippery, and soft after use and drying, you can choose ingredients from the silicone group. Silicones are stable in high alkaline conditions, which is suitable for soap, and have properties that help coat the skin to provide a soft and smooth feel.

Recommended silicone ingredients include:

• PEG/PPG-20/15 Dimethicone (similar to SiliWater™)

  • Usage Rate: 0.1-3%
  • How to Add: Dissolve in the water phase. It can withstand heat up to 80°C. It should be added in the later stages after the soap reaction is complete and the temperature has decreased.
  • Properties: Water-soluble silicone that helps make skin and hair smooth and soft.

• FoamTex™ (PEG-17 Dimethicone) (similar to Silicone Quick-Cond)

  • Usage Rate: 0.5-2.0%
  • How to Add: Add in the final step of the formulation.
  • Properties: Helps adjust foam texture to be soft and provides a soft touch on the skin.
