Are these silicone replacements easier to emulsify? I hate working with silicones in emulsions.

Not used them, just seen them advertised.

I have used them, no issues and they are as close to Dimethicone as any other replacement I have tried.

Oh no, it’s Inolex. Nice people but their MOQs are ridiculous.

I’ve Lexfeel N5 and Lexfeel N100, both of them mimic the feeling of Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone quite good but, they cannot reduce soaping effect of fatty alcohol in emulsion and the price is almost 300% higher than silicone.
