- Usage
DOWSIL(TM) CE-7080 Smart Style can be easily added to aqueous based formulations. Recommended use levels for styling products and rinse- off are 4-8% (1-2% silicone active). It is recommended to add the emulsion at the end of production, at temperatures below 40°C (104°F) with continuous mixing. This product is compatible with many common cosmetic ingredients. It is suggested to confirm compatibility with anionic thickeners and anionic surfactants. It is also important to formulate between pH of 3-12 in order to reduce the risk of breaking the emulsion.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Test Data
Figure 1: Curl Retention
2% active silicone level of DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style outperformed 2% active of Acrylate Copolymer and Control, at 95% confidence.
Figure 2: Curl Memory
DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style provided better curl memory or spring back than an Acrylate Copolymer, a commercial benchmark (containing styling polymers and an amino silicone), and a control when used at 2% active, at 95% confidence.
Figure 3: Curl Definition
After 5 hours at 70% humidity, 2% active silicone level of DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style tresses treated with a leave-in conditioner were more defined than a control, 2% active of Acrylate Copolymer, at 99% confidence, and commercial benchmark, at 95% confidence.
Figure 4: Smoothness
DOWSIL CE-7080 Smart Style exhibited a smoother feel than an Acrylate Copolymer, at 90% confidence and control, at 95% confidence, when both used at 1% active in a mousse formulation.
