June 2025 – Anhui IOTA Silicone Oil Co., Ltd. announced the launch of its revolutionary silicone composite raw material, IOTA 9600 (INCI Name: Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer). This cutting-edge organic silicone elastomer gel redefines cosmetic ingredient standards with its dual advantages of "velvety-smooth texture" and "versatile compatibility," marking a new era in skincare and makeup formulation.

Revolutionary Formulation: Redefining Sensory Experience
As a novel blend of high-molecular-weight silicone elastomers and cyclic siloxanes, IOTA 9600 presents a translucent silicone elastomer gel texture. Its core breakthrough lies in three transformative properties:

1. Velvety-Smooth Texture: The gel’s unique structure creates a lightweight, non-greasy feel, forming a breathable protective film on the skin without the heavy residue of traditional oils.
2. Sebum-Regulating Capacity: With mild sebum-absorbing properties, it helps balance skin’s oil-water balance, making it ideal for oil-control skincare and long-wearing makeup products.
3. Multi-System Compatibility: Stable dispersion in water/oil emulsions, water/silicone systems, and anhydrous formulations enables versatile applications as a thickener, texture enhancer, and viscosity modifier, while reducing stickiness in formulations.

Technical Breakthroughs Empowering Diverse Applications
IOTA 9600 introduces game-changing advancements for cosmetic manufacturers:

• Room-Temperature Processing: Eliminates the need for high-temperature treatments, simplifying production processes and reducing energy costs.
• Broad Formulation Versatility: Compatible with skincare (lotions, creams), color cosmetics (foundations, primers), sunscreens, and haircare products. In sunscreens and cosmetics, it enhances spreadability and film-forming properties while maintaining skin breathability; in haircare, it optimizes smoothness and humidity resistance for long-lasting style retention.
• Sustainability Alignment: By reducing reliance on traditional油脂 (grease) through high-efficiency functionality, IOTA 9600 aligns with the industry’s shift toward "lightweight, high-performance" formulations, catering to demand for sensitive-skin-friendly and eco-conscious ingredients.

Pioneering Sustainable Innovation
Against the backdrop of the global green chemistry movement, IOTA 9600 embodies Anhui IOTA’s commitment to sustainable innovation. Its stable dispersibility and gentle nature also open new possibilities for sensitive-skin products. The company stated that it will continue to deepen R&D in silicone materials, driving the cosmetics industry toward more scientific, efficient, and sustainable development.

Note: For specific applications, adjust addition ratios based on formulation requirements and comply with relevant regulatory standards.

This press release highlights IOTA 9600’s technical innovations, market potential, and alignment with industry trends, positioning it as a transformative solution for the cosmetics sector.
