In today's pursuit of lightweight and non-burdensome skincare experiences, heavy and sticky formulations have become a thing of the past. We proudly introduce the IOTA Silicone Elastomer Gel—an innovative translucent gel agent that combines high-molecular-weight silicone elastomers with cyclic siloxanes, delivering an ultra-smooth, dry, and non-greasy skin feel to skincare, cosmetics, and hair care products.
Velvety Smoothness, Dry and Lightweight
The translucent gel texture spreads smoothly without stickiness, forming a lightweight protective film on the skin, free from the artificial slickness and greasiness of traditional silicone oils.
Mild Oil Absorption, Balanced Comfort
Features slight sebum-absorbing properties to help regulate surface shine, making it ideal for formulations targeting oily and combination skin types.
Compatibility Across Systems, High Formulation Flexibility
Suitable for water/oil, water/silicone oil, oil/water, and anhydrous systems, offering broad possibilities for product development.
Room-Temperature Processing, Process-Friendly
Stable dispersion can be achieved without high temperatures or high shear, simplifying production and improving efficiency.
Effective Thickening, Controllable Texture
Acts as a thickener and stabilizer in various emulsions, allowing textures ranging from lightweight lotions to rich creams.
Eliminates Stickiness, Enhances User Experience
Significantly reduces the sticky feel of formulations, delivering a long-lasting refreshing sensation that boosts product appeal and repurchase intent.
Synergistic Effects, Enhanced Performance
Improves the spreadability and adhesion of cyclic silicone oils in formulations, enhancing the longevity and smoothing effects of sunscreens and primers.
