Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone
Anyone working/worked with this product? Gathering ideas for a face cream… and just at the early stages…. still looking at the emulsifier (my starting point).
Here is a link to the product:

Any feedback about your experience and results with this product would be much appreciated.

There might be different products under this INCI. I tried Abil EM 90 by Evonik. It’s not an easy-going one and needs some practice. It doesn’t like high oil phase, in fact I only managed to get it working with 22% in the oil phase. You would also need to pair it with another w/o emulsifier.

You will need to meet the requirements to stabilize it but i tested it with Sepinov EMT 10 since i don’t have the co-emulsifier that it’s normally paired with, it seems to be much draggier.

I haven’t seen Sepinov EMT 10 in W/O products except for Seppic’s Gel Trap. Have you observed it for separation?
-
I did the combo since i saw the Geltrap idea but there’s no issues so far at room temperature with both Sepinov EMT 10 or Sepimax Zen. Though i’m really curious is it really performed as well as the Geltrap would do or if it’s even similar.

By the way, I tried to make Seppic’s gel trap with Sepinov and it had separated in a month, but the same formula with Simulgel EG looked unchanged for over a year (until I discarded it because I have too many samples). I tried to experiment with PEG-30 DPHS (my logic was it’s part of Easynov) but it didn’t work. Don’t get discouraged if it separates. W/Os are tricky.

@ngarayeva001 any recommendations for (maybe low HLB) co-emulsifiers for the Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone? I don’t think i can source for the Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate. Would something like Olivem 900 do?
