In the sweltering heat of summer, makeup "melting" and sunscreen pilling or losing effectiveness after just five minutes outdoors are common frustrations. Recently, IOTA launched IOTA 25562 (INCI: Bis-Hydroxyethoxypropyl Polydimethylsiloxane), an alcohol-ether functionalized silicone oil designed for personal care, offering a novel silicone-based solution to the challenge of maintaining makeup integrity in high temperatures.


Unlike standard silicone oils on the market, this modified polysiloxane—featuring alcohol-ether functional groups—demonstrates exceptional, visible pigment-suspending capabilities. In conventional formulas, pigments tend to settle and clump, leading to patchy foundation and grainy lipstick; however, thanks to its unique polyether-modified structure, IOTA 25562 acts like an invisible scaffold to evenly disperse powders, ensuring makeup adheres smoothly for extended periods without settling into fine lines. Furthermore, it effectively boosts the SPF of sunscreens, creating a more uniform and durable protective film that minimizes gaps in protection caused by sweating. It also offers a nourishing affinity for the lips, providing a clear, luminous finish without the heavy, greasy "lard-like" feel.


From sunscreens and liquid foundations to antiperspirant roll-ons and hair cuticle care serums, IOTA silicone products can be incorporated into daily personal care routines at flexible concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 20%. They quietly stabilize makeup, extend protection, and provide skin-friendly hydration, proving their mettle against the challenges of summer.
