Formulating cosmetic preparations often means combining less compatible materials while establishing a strong sensory identity. The solution would be an emulsifier that not only helps with various formulation issues but also imparts a soft, velvety feel.
To meet formulators’ needs for high-performance emulsifiers, IOTA has also developed IOTA9103, an original combination of non-ionic products with emulsifying capabilities and an enhanced sensory experience. It is an RSPO quality balance certified O/W emulsifier and has a unique sensory profile with an extremely soft and velvety feel during and after application.
IOTA is a unique silicone elastomer system containing high-grade shea butter dispersed in an elastomer network. Shea Butter, a skin super emollient known for its moisturizing, calming and skin-smoothing properties. Compared to standard silicone elastomer materials, IOTA9103 disperses shea butter within an elastomer network, resulting in unique sensory and performance properties. Leaves skin feeling soft and emollient after application while providing long-lasting barrier function. This ingredient is less potentially comedogenic than harder butters that can clog skin pores. IOTA9103 is a versatile ingredient for body butters, creams, lotions, cosmetics and waterless formulas that provides a rich skin feel and extended play time during application. This shea butter blend has optimal skin temperature melting action to soften skin and produce the most caring and luxurious formula.
