Emulsion Products:
DOWSIL(TM) PMX-1505 Fluid can be incorporated directly into the oil phase of the formulation.

Non-Emulsion Products:
It is recommended to add cosmetic ingredients to the silicone and not vice versa as often ultra-high molecular weight dimethiconol is incompatible with other cosmetic ingredients.
