As consumers' demands for the skin feel of skincare products have risen, traditional thick and greasy products have failed to meet market needs. IOTA 21555, a high-refractive index cosmetic-grade benzyl silicone oil (trimethylpentyltrisiloxane), with its unique physical properties, has become an ideal choice for enhancing the product's user experience.
As a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid, IOTA 21555 not only has a pure appearance but also possesses excellent "weight reduction" capabilities. It can effectively reduce the stickiness of common cosmetic ingredients, giving the skin a plump and soft touch, while not clogging pores or causing a heavy feeling. In hair care products, it can give hair strands a bright shine, improve dryness and frizziness, and is easily emulsified with common emulsifiers through conventional processes, significantly simplifying the production process.
Its application scope is very wide, covering cosmetics, skincare, hair care, and antiperspirant and deodorant products. Especially in the preparation of transparent antiperspirants, it can maintain good transparency and a refreshing feel. With a high flash point (243°C at the open cup) and excellent stability, IOTA 21555 not only enhances the safety of the formula but also ensures the stability of the product's quality during the shelf life, making it an indispensable functional additive in modern refined cosmetic formulations.
