LexFeel® WOW, Natural Cyclopentasiloxane Alternative

  • Company:

    Inolex

  • INCI Name:

    Triheptanoin (and) C13-16 Isoalkane (Formerly C13-16 Isoparaffin)

LexFeel® WOW is a 100% plant-based, fast spreading, partially volatile emollient with comparable aesthetics to cyclotetrasiloxane and cyclopentasiloxane. With a silicone like initial feel, LexFeel® WOW is a light fluid, that absorbs quickly and provides a slight cushion with a soft after-feel. It is non-oily and non-greasy lubricious fluid that can be used to reduce the heavy feel of formulations. This fast spreading emollient helps emulsions spread homogeneously and uniformly to provide even coverage. LexFeel® WOW is an excellent pigment wetting agent with a luxurious but light after-feel. It also improves spreading in skin and hair care formulations, significantly enhancing the overall sensory performance in final products. It can be used in color cosmetics, suncare, skincare, and hair care. LexFeel® WOW contains 100% biobased content as certified by the USDA BioPreferred® Program, does not contain palm derivatives, and is approved for use in NSF/ANSI 305 certified personal care products. LexFeel® WOW (Triheptanoin (and) C13-16 Isoparaffin) is listed in the China FDA IECIC inventory.
