IOTA D5 – The Versatile Volatile Silicone for High-Performance Cosmetics
IOTA D5 (Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane) is a high-purity, volatile cyclic silicone designed to elevate the sensory profile of modern cosmetic formulations. It delivers a clean, non-greasy, and silky-smooth feel, making it a preferred choice for premium personal care products.
This ingredient is odorless, colorless, and offers excellent spreadability. It evaporates readily after application, leaving no residue while acting as an effective carrier for active ingredients. IOTA D5 is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic raw materials, including esters, oils, and UV filters.
