Technical Details & Test Data

Science Behind

LexFeel™ D4 is an optimized combination of ingredients that mimics the spreading and volatility of Cyclotetrasiloxane (D4).

  • Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate is a light emollient that provides spreading and after-feel esthetics.
  • Isododecane is a volatile solvent that mimics the volatility of cyclotetrasiloxane.
  • Many of the physical properties of LexFeel™ D4 are comparable to those of silicone D4: Kinematic viscosity, Specific gravity, Heat of vaporization, Refractive index, Flashpoint, appearance, and odor
