High Viscosity Dimethicone for Hair Care Products

The Role of KESMILD-100 Dimethicone in Hair Care

KESMILD-100 Dimethicone is a high molecular weight Dimethicone conditioning ingredient specially developed for hair care products. As a silicone-based conditioning agent, it is widely used in 2-in-1 shampoos, rinse-off conditioners, hair masks, and leave-in conditioners. In hair care formulations, KESMILD-100 Dimethicone forms a strong protective film on the hair surface, helping repair damaged hair, improve wet and dry combability, and enhance hair smoothness, softness, and shine. With excellent emulsification properties, it can be easily incorporated into shampoo systems after pre-emulsification, providing an effective conditioning solution for damaged and dry hair.

Difference Between KESMILD-100 Dimethicone and Other High Viscosity Dimethicone

Compared with other high viscosity Dimethicone ingredients, KESMILD-100 Dimethicone features excellent emulsification properties, stable conditioning performance, and high cost efficiency. It is a 100% active Dimethicone raw material that can be emulsified with nonionic or anionic surfactants before being added to 2-in-1 shampoo systems. Its easy processing characteristics and good compatibility allow formulators to conveniently develop hair care products with improved smoothness, softness, and combability.

The Working Principle of KESMILD-100 Dimethicone in Hair Care

KESMILD-100 Dimethicone works by forming a durable silicone film on the hair surface, which helps protect damaged hair and improve hair texture. The formed film reduces friction between hair fibers, improving wet and dry combability while enhancing hair shine and smoothness. Before application in shampoo formulations, KESMILD-100 Dimethicone needs to be emulsified with nonionic or anionic surfactants to achieve suitable silicone emulsion particle size, allowing it to distribute evenly on hair and deliver conditioning benefits.
