In personal care, formulators face core challenges in pigment dispersion stability, SPF boosting, and sensory compatibility. Traditional silicones may offer slip but poor compatibility with organic UV filters; conventional surfactants lack suspension power, causing pigment sedimentation and uneven makeup. With escalating demands for "high SPF, long wear, light hydration", sourcing a polyether-modified silicone with "alcohol ether skin affinity, excellent pigment suspension, SPF boosting" has become the core proposition in personal care ingredients.
Addressing this,
Anhui IOTA Silicone Oil Co., Ltd. officially launches
IOTA 25562 Alcohol Ether Silicone (INCI: Bis-Hydroxyethoxypropyl Dimethicone; Chemical nature: Polyether-modified Polydimethylsiloxane). Characterized by "colorless to slightly yellow, transparent to slightly turbid liquid, viscosity 40-60 mm²/s (25℃), refractive index 1.42; 25kg plastic/200kg iron drum or custom packaging; 24-month shelf life", backed by "alcohol ether functional siloxane backbone + skin affinity + pigment suspension & SPF boosting", it is the "alcohol-suspension" choice for personal care.
Molecular Architecture: Alcohol Ether Functionalization + Polysiloxane Flexible Chain + Pigment Affinity
-
Alcohol Ether Skin-Friendly Group: Bis-Hydroxyethoxypropyl groups grafted onto the siloxane chain impart excellent skin affinity, unique compatibility, wetting, moisturizing, and fragrance retention, solving the "only slip, no moisture" drawback of traditional silicones.
-
Pigment Dispersion & Suspension: Provides outstanding dispersion and suspension on inorganic pigments/UV filters (TiO₂, ZnO), acting like a "molecular anti-settling agent" to prevent agglomeration and enhance makeup stability.
-
SPF Synergy: Optimizes UV filter distribution in sun care formulations, boosts SPF, and improves spreadability with superior gloss.
Performance Leap: From "Pigment Sedimentation" to "Stable Suspension + High SPF"
-
Makeup Stability: As a powder suspending aid in foundations and BB creams, prevents pigment settling and caking for long-lasting, even coverage.
-
SPF Boosting: Enhances SPF value and UV protection; excellent compatibility with organic/inorganic filters.
-
Lip Affinity: Great affinity and moisturizing effect for lips, providing superior gloss for lip products.
-
Multi-Scene Compatibility: Suitable for antiperspirants/deodorants (dry touch); hair cuticle care (smoothness).
Application Penetration: From Makeup Wear to Sun Care & Hair Care
-
Color Cosmetics: Foundations, BB creams — enhances pigment dispersion and wear.
-
Sun Care: Facial and body sunscreens — boosts SPF and sensory.
-
Skincare: Facial and body care — moisturizing and conditioning.
-
Hair Care: Hair cuticle care — improves hair quality.
-
Antiperspirant: Provides dry-touch and skin affinity.
IOTA Technical Guide: Sealed from Acids/Bases, Cool & Away from Fire
-
Application: Recommended dosage 0.1~20%, adjust per formulation; widely used in emulsified systems or oil-phase dispersion.
-
Taboo: Store sealed in dry, cool place; avoid contact with acids and alkalis; keep away from fire sources.
-
Storage: 25kg plastic drum, 200kg iron drum or custom; shelf life 24 months.
Industry Insight: Domestic breakthroughs in polyether silicone structure and SPF boosting mechanisms enable IOTA 25562 to
fill the key supply chain link for domestic alcohol ether silicone in personal care, providing import-substitution with "alcohol ether functionalization + 40-60 cP + pigment suspension & SPF boosting". This confirms domestic functional silicones are leaping toward "alcohol ether functional silicones", with growing technical say in personal care ingredients.
