Question

Which silicone ingredients are suitable for dissolving in light mineral oil while maintaining clarity?

Answer

Silicones Soluble in Light Mineral Oil

Based on your question about finding a silicone that dissolves well in light mineral oil and remains clear, and the staff's suggestion of Caprylyl Methicone, here are some options:

  • Caprylyl Methicone: This silicone is a clear liquid and is explicitly stated to be soluble in all types of Hydrocarbons, including Mineral Oil. It provides a soft, smooth, and very light feel.
  • Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky): This is an ultra-clear silicone gel that is soluble in oil and silicone. It helps improve spreadability and provides a soft, smooth, and light skin feel.
  • Silicone Shine Ultra170™: This silicone is a clear liquid with very high gloss. It is soluble in silicone and a variety of oils, making it suitable for formulations where high shine is desired while maintaining clarity.

These silicones are good choices for achieving a clear formulation when dissolving in light mineral oil.
