INCI Name: Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Cyclotetrasiloxane (and) Dimethiconol
IOTA 1401 is a functional silicone blend consisting of ultra-high viscosity dimethiconol dissolved in a mixture of cyclotetrasiloxane and cyclopentasiloxane. The formulation is carefully balanced to maintain pourability while delivering strong film-forming and substantivity properties.
Through physical interaction, the high level of dimethiconol enhances the retention of active ingredients on skin and hair surfaces, even under water immersion or cleansing conditions. This enables the formation of a flexible, water-repellent, and long-lasting protective film.
Enhanced substantivity
Improves the durability of sunscreens, emollients, moisturizers, and other actives.
Velvety skin feel
Provides a soft, smooth, and elegant sensory profile while reducing greasiness.
Hair conditioning performance
Delivers silky smoothness and is particularly effective for split-end care.
Grease reduction
Detackifies oily formulations for improved consumer comfort.
Skin creams and lotions
Color cosmetics and sun care products
Self-tanning formulations
Hair conditioners and repair treatments
In sunscreen systems, IOTA 1401 acts as a carrier to enhance water resistance and long-wear performance while maintaining excellent spreadability.

Emulsions:
May be incorporated directly into the oil phase. If oil phase temperatures exceed 60°C, add slowly after emulsification below 50°C using high shear mixing.
Non-emulsion systems:
It is recommended to add cosmetic ingredients into the silicone phase to ensure proper dispersion of the ultra-high molecular weight dimethiconol.
