IOTA D5 – Lightweight Spreading Agent for Silky, Residue-Free Formulations
IOTA D5 is a volatile polydimethylcyclosiloxane composed primarily of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane. It is widely recognized in the cosmetics industry for its outstanding volatility and smooth after-feel. Unlike traditional emollients, IOTA D5 evaporates completely after deposition, offering a dry, silky finish without oiliness or tackiness.
This product enhances the application experience across various personal care formats. Its low surface tension ensures uniform spreading, allowing other active ingredients to perform more effectively. It also supports formulation stability at low temperatures due to its low crystallization point.
