Siliwax Aqua Properties and Use in Toner for Dry Skin
Question
What are the properties of Siliwax Aqua (Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane) when used in a toner? Specifically, does it form a film on the skin that could block subsequent products, and is it suitable for a toner intended for dry skin?
Answer
Siliwax Aqua in Toner for Dry Skin
Based on the properties of Siliwax Aqua (Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane), it is a silicone wax that is soluble in water.
Since Siliwax Aqua is water-soluble, it will not create a water-resistant film on the skin that would block the absorption of subsequent serums or creams. Ingredients that form a blocking film are typically water-resistant or insoluble in water.
Siliwax Aqua is suitable for adjusting the texture of water-based formulas like toners. It helps to increase smoothness and reduce stickiness, providing a soft and comfortable feel that is suitable for dry skin without leaving a heavy residue or blocking other products.
