Stable Physical and Chemical Properties Ensure Formula Reliability
IOTA 54, with the INCI name DIPHENYL DIMETHICONE, is a professional phenyl silicone fluid exclusively developed for cosmetic applications. It features a pure transparent liquid appearance with no impurities, turbidity or precipitation, maintaining a clean visual state that never interferes with the color and transparency of finished cosmetic products. The product delivers a 100% active ingredient content, featuring a pure and simple component system without redundant additives, which directly simplifies the production and blending process of cosmetics and improves overall production efficiency.
All physical and chemical indicators of IOTA 54 are calibrated through standardized professional testing methods. Its viscosity ranges from 400 to 450mm²/s, tested by Cannon-Fenske viscometer, providing moderate fluidity that balances spreadability and adhesion for cosmetic formulas. The volatile content is less than 0.5% under the test condition of 150℃ for 24 hours, endowing the product with excellent high-temperature resistance and formula stability during cosmetic production processes such as emulsification and sterilization. With a standard specific gravity of 1.07, it achieves great compatibility with various vegetable oils, synthetic greases, silicone materials and cosmetic active ingredients, avoiding delamination and precipitation in diverse formula systems. The stable refractive index between 1.498 and 1.505 lays a solid foundation for the product’s consistent gloss performance.
High Refractive Index Creates Natural and Delicate Gloss Texture
The core advantage of IOTA 54 lies in its stable high refractive index, which distinguishes it from ordinary silicone raw materials with dull finish. After being applied and forming a thin film on the skin and hair surface, it can uniformly refract natural light, presenting a soft and delicate luster without greasy and unnatural reflection. In skincare products, this ingredient can refine skin surface texture, relieve dull and dry skin conditions, and enhance overall skin transparency, leaving the skin hydrated and tender after application.
For color cosmetics, it effectively improves the color saturation and transparency of foundations, lip glosses, eye shadows and other makeup products, reducing powder texture and heaviness to create a natural and exquisite makeup finish. In sunscreen products, it optimizes the dispersion uniformity of sunscreen agents, forming a flat and fitting protective film. It maintains skin gloss while providing sun protection, avoiding the dull and whitening side effects of traditional sunscreen formulas.
Wide Dosage Range Adapts to Full-Category Cosmetic Applications
IOTA 54 supports a wide addition dosage from 0.1% to 50%, enabling flexible adjustment according to the texture, efficacy and application scenarios of different cosmetic products. In hair care products, low-dose addition can penetrate the hair surface, repair damaged cuticle gaps, smooth frizzy hair and improve hair gloss and smoothness. It leaves hair lightweight without sticky residue, suitable for hair oil, hair masks, leave-in conditioners and other daily hair care products.
In skincare fields, it can be added to essences, lotions, creams and body care products to optimize skin feel, strengthen water-locking capacity, form a breathable protective film on the skin surface, and reduce transepidermal water loss. For color cosmetics and sunscreens, the dosage can be adjusted freely to adapt to lightweight base makeup, high-gloss makeup and long-lasting sunscreen formulas, covering almost all daily cosmetic care and makeup needs.
