Consumers want products that contain vegetable oils without sacrificing a light, non-greasy feel. You can meet this need with DOWSIL™ FZ-3196 Fluid.
DOWSIL FZ-3196 Fluid can improve the overall sensory profile of your formulations. This high-quality volatile alkyl methyl siloxane fluid is a unique solution for formulators of skin care, sun care, color cosmetics, and hair care products. It offers moderate volatility, affordable cost-in-use, and excellent compatibility with a wide range of ingredients. Use it with vegetable oils or other naturals for enhanced sensory benefits, as a carrier for other ingredients, or as a dispersing medium for hydrophobic powders and pigments.
Compared to vegetable oil alone, DOWSIL FZ-3196 Fluid in a 50/50 blend with vegetable oils significantly increases the perceived wetness and spreadability before skin absorption, as well as reducing tackiness. After absorption, perceived slipperiness increases and tackiness, film residue, and greasiness on skin decline.
To check pricing and availability of a product, first consider which buying option is right for you if both the "Buy Direct" and "Find a Distributor" options are offered.
Currently buy directly from us? Just get in touch with your procurement team, who will work directly with us to clarify price options and availability for you.
Already work directly with our sales contact? Simply check with them for pricing and availability. Lead times may be longer than if you go through an available authorized distributor. For large-scale, ongoing needs, we'll work with you to establish a reliable and timely supply.
New to Dow Consumer Solutions? If distribution is an option for a product, we suggest starting there for the fastest confirmation of price and availability. This will also save you time compared to setting up a new buying account directly with us. If you have questions, please feel free to discuss options directly with our service team.
When authorized distributors are offered as a choice, they are typically the fastest route to clarifying price and may also offer shorter product lead times. We take time to select, train and support best-in-class distributors—and they're a great option for you if any of the following apply:
Simply click on the “Find Distributors” button next to a product to explore authorized distributor options.
