Dimethicone and Amodimethicone Smoothing Emulsion for Superior Hair Conditioning – LK-EM 168
LK-EM 168 is a high-performance, non-ionic Dimethicone and Amodimethicone smoothing emulsion designed to elevate modern hair care formulations. Composed of Amodimethicone and high molecular weight Polydimethylsiloxane, this advanced silicone emulsion delivers exceptional conditioning benefits for all hair types.
Ideal for 2-in-1 shampoos, rinse-off conditioners, and other rinse-off treatments, LK-EM 168 enhances softness, shine, and manageability. It provides a silky-smooth feel to both wet and dry hair while significantly improving detangling and combability without weighing hair down or causing buildup.
One of the standout features of this Dimethicone and Amodimethicone smoothing emulsion is its intelligent conditioning system. It selectively deposits on damaged areas of the hair shaft, optimizing performance even at low usage levels (typically 1–5%). This targeted action ensures enhanced hair health and appearance without compromising product clarity or stability.
Due to its non-ionic properties, LK-EM 168 offers broad compatibility with a wide range of surfactant systems, simplifying the formulation process for manufacturers. Additionally, it helps preserve vibrancy in color-treated hair by reducing dye washout, making it a valuable ingredient in color-protective hair care lines.
Regardless of whether you are formulating a premium conditioner or a multi-functional shampoo, LK-EM 168 is the ideal Dimethicone and Amodimethicone smoothing emulsion for creating high-performance, consumer-loved hair care products.
