It is a highly versatile, oxidative-stable, solid emollient with a sharp melting profile and excellent crystallinity. It combines a silky-smooth richness with a soft-dry skin-feel to offer unique textures transformations in face, hand and body care formulations. Suitable for both emulsion and anhydrous-based systems, it is an ideal base for creating aerated products and is an efficient texturizer for cosmetic pencils, sticks and crayons.

Solid at room temperature, it transforms rapidly to a low viscosity liquid at body temperature with the potential to provide a cooling sensation when melting.

IOTA offers formulators rapid solidification and excellent crystallinity combined with high oxidative stability to ensure the long shelf-life of the final formulation. It is compatible with natural and synthetic waxes, liquid vegetable oils and esters, as well as pigments and fillers. IOTA gives a rich pay-off with a dry film on application.
