In personal care and cosmetic formulations, product spreadability, texture, and absorption are key to user experience. IOTA 210 is an alkyl-modified trisiloxane silicone oil designed to improve diffusion and smoothness in both personal care products and pesticide formulations. It is insoluble in water and compatible with ethanol, toluene, and other organic solvents, making it an ideal oil-soluble extender.

IOTA 210 enhances the spread of formulations on skin or hair, ensuring even application while reducing dry or greasy sensations. It can also improve the gloss and color performance of cosmetics, helping lipsticks and eyeshadows appear more vibrant and long-lasting.

In skincare and hair care products, IOTA 210 delivers a silky, smooth feel, leaving skin and hair soft and comfortable. In sunscreens, makeup removers, or moisturizers, it can assist in better absorption of active ingredients, improving overall product performance.

Beyond personal care, IOTA 210 is also used in pesticide formulations. Its excellent oil-phase spreading capability increases coverage on leaf surfaces, ensuring more uniform distribution and enhancing efficacy.

With low viscosity, low surface tension, excellent spreadability, and good cleaning properties, IOTA 210 is a versatile additive for personal care, cosmetic, hair care, and pesticide formulations. Usage can be adjusted according to specific applications, typically 3–10% in pesticide formulations and 0.03–0.1% for barrel-mixed sprays, while personal care usage depends on formulation requirements.
