How to Use AccessSIL EMUL-6081 in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessSIL EMUL-6081

Think of that luxurious, velvety, and powdery feel you get from a high-end makeup primer or moisturizer—that’s the effect AccessSIL EMUL-6081 creates. It is essentially “texture in a bottle.” It contains tiny, soft, sponge-like silicone microspheres that are already emulsified and dispersed in water, making it incredibly easy for formulators to use.

When incorporated into a product and applied to the skin, the water in the emulsion evaporates, leaving behind a flexible, breathable network of silicone microspheres. This network scatters light to create a soft-focus effect (blurring the look of fine lines), absorbs excess oil for a matte finish, and creates an ultra-smooth, silky surface. For the technical-minded, this is an aqueous suspension of Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer, stabilized with non-ionic emulsifiers (Laureth-3 and Laureth-25).

Formulation Tips

One of the biggest advantages of AccessSIL EMUL-6081 is that it is a cold-process ingredient—no heating required. This saves time and energy and helps protect heat-sensitive actives.

Add it directly to the water phase at room temperature, or incorporate it during the cool-down phase after your emulsion has formed and cooled. Typical usage is 2–10%:

For a subtle textural enhancement in daily lotions: 2–4%.
For a pronounced silky, primer-like effect in serums or anti-aging creams: 5–10%.

It also contributes to viscosity build in oil-in-water emulsions and water-based gels. Stir gently until uniformly dispersed for best results.
