In skin care, sun care, color cosmetics, and hair care products, skin feel is often the decisive factor that consumers judge at first touch. Greasy, sticky, heavy — these negative experiences can undermine even the best active ingredients. IOTA 9600D Silicone Elastomer Gel is a blend of high-molecular-weight silicone elastomer and cyclosiloxane. With its velvet-like comfortable slip, dry, non-greasy skin feel, and unique thickening and tack-reducing capabilities, it delivers an instantly perceptible premium skin feel upgrade for a wide range of cosmetic formulations.
This product is a blend of high-molecular-weight silicone elastomer and cyclosiloxane, forming a translucent silicone elastomer gel. The gel nature of this product means it does not truly dissolve in any oil phase, but exists as a stable dispersion. It can be used in various cosmetic formulations including water/oil emulsions, water/silicone emulsions, oil/water emulsions, and anhydrous products to achieve a dry, velvety, silky, non-greasy skin feel.
