Product Description
ABIL EM 90 silicone emulsifier for water in silicone and water in oil systems
ABIL EM 90 is a silicone emulsifier based on Cetyl PEG/PPG 10/1 Dimethicone designed for stabilization of reverse emulsions and hybrid silicone systems. The ingredient appears as a viscous oily liquid ranging from clear to light yellow color. The molecular structure combines silicone backbone with polyether groups allowing stabilization of aqueous droplets within silicone or oil phases. Insoluble in water and incorporated into the oil or silicone phase. Compatible with volatile silicones, dimethicone fluids, esters and vegetable oils. The material enables stable emulsions with smooth sensory properties.
Properties and skin performance
Creates smooth creamy textures with enhanced slip. Provides uniform dispersion of the aqueous phase within the lipid matrix. When applied the formulation spreads easily and leaves a soft velvety finish while maintaining stable emulsion structure.
Industry applications
ABIL EM 90 is widely used in facial creams, silicone fluids, sunscreen emulsions and decorative cosmetic formulations. Suitable for modern lightweight textures and water resistant systems. Adapted for professional cosmetic lines, private label development and contract manufacturing due to stable emulsification and reproducible processing characteristics.
Formula example
ABIL EM 90 25 g
Dimethicone 80 ml
Cyclomethicone 110 ml
Sweet almond oil 45 ml
Purified water 540 ml
Butylene glycol 60 g
Calendula extract 40 g
ABIL EM 90 is blended with dimethicone, cyclomethicone and almond oil and heated until a uniform silicone phase is obtained. In a separate vessel purified water, butylene glycol and calendula extract are mixed to form the aqueous phase. The aqueous phase is slowly introduced into the silicone phase under intensive mixing forming a stable water in silicone emulsion. The pH of the aqueous phase is then adjusted to a balanced level. The final product is a smooth cream with silky sensory texture.
ABIL EM 90 is positioned for B2B manufacturers of decorative and skincare products as well as formulation laboratories and contract manufacturing facilities. The emulsifier ensures stable silicone emulsions, reproducible texture and compatibility with scalable industrial production processes.
