LexFeel™ WOW-A 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-A 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-A 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-A 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-A (Triheptanoin (and) C13-15 Alkane) is listed in the China FDA IECIC inventory.
