With the increasing demand for superior skin feel, ease of application and formulation stability, volatile cyclic silicones have become essential ingredients in modern personal care products. IOTA D6 Cyclohexasiloxane is a volatile cyclic methylsiloxane mainly composed of hexamer, offering excellent sensory performance, high compatibility and stable physicochemical properties.

IOTA D6 is a colorless, transparent liquid with no odor and no irritation. It provides a fresh, non-greasy feel and exhibits moderate volatility, allowing it to remain on the skin or hair surface for an appropriate period before evaporation. This balance delivers a silky, smooth sensation while leaving almost no residue after evaporation, making it particularly suitable for premium personal care formulations.

From a formulation perspective, IOTA D6 shows excellent compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. It can be used together with waxes, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, mineral oils and non-volatile silicone oils. It is also mutually soluble with anhydrous alcohol, which enables its application in alcohol-based products, sprays and fast-drying formulations. Its low surface tension improves spreadability and helps disperse solid pigments, enhancing color uniformity and overall product performance in color cosmetics.

In skin care and sunscreen products, IOTA D6 improves spreadability and creates a light, comfortable skin feel. In make-up formulations, it enhances smooth application and adhesion. In hair care products, it imparts softness, smoothness and shine without weighing hair down. In antiperspirant and deodorant products, its volatility contributes to a dry and refreshing after-feel.

Overall, IOTA D6 Cyclohexasiloxane combines safety, stability and outstanding sensory benefits, making it an ideal volatile silicone fluid for skin care, make-up, hair care and functional personal care products. The recommended usage level and formulation method should be optimized according to specific application requirements and formulation systems.
