Designed for Modern, Lightweight Personal Care Formulations

Today’s consumers expect skincare and haircare products to feel breathable, silky, and non-greasy. IOTA 345 is developed to meet this demand — a high-purity volatile cyclic silicone blend primarily composed of D5 and D6, engineered to enhance sensory performance while maintaining formulation flexibility.

This clear, low-odor liquid functions as a lightweight carrier and sensory modifier. It spreads quickly across the skin or hair, temporarily forming a smooth, uniform layer that improves distribution of oils, actives, and pigments. As it gradually evaporates, it leaves little to no residue, delivering a clean, dry finish.
