In today’s cosmetic market, consumers expect more than just basic skincare performance. Texture, spreadability, after-feel, and oil control have become key factors influencing product quality. Silicone elastomer gels are increasingly used in premium cosmetic formulations because they deliver a unique silky, smooth, and dry-touch sensory experience.
IOTA 9600D is a translucent silicone elastomer gel composed of Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer. It combines high molecular weight silicone elastomers with cyclic silicones to create a stable gel system that offers excellent skin feel and formulation flexibility.
Unlike conventional oils, silicone elastomer gels do not truly dissolve into the oil phase. Instead, they remain as a stable dispersion, allowing formulators to achieve soft-focus, velvety textures with excellent spreadability.
These characteristics make it highly suitable for modern lightweight cosmetic formulations.
IOTA 9600D significantly enhances the sensory profile of cosmetic products. It provides:
This helps create premium textures often required in luxury skincare and makeup products.
Many cosmetic formulations containing oils, UV filters, or active ingredients may feel sticky during application. Silicone elastomer gel helps reduce this unpleasant sensation while maintaining product stability.
IOTA 9600D can function as a thickener in:
It improves formulation structure without creating excessive heaviness.
The elastomer network helps blur the appearance of pores and fine lines, making it especially valuable in primers, foundations, and color cosmetic products.
IOTA 9600D is widely used in:
Its versatile compatibility allows formulators to develop elegant textures across multiple cosmetic categories.
IOTA 9600D can be directly dispersed into the oil phase using simple mixing at room temperature.
For best processing results:
Suggested usage level: 1–20%.
